Who wants to rank undergraduate engineering schools?

<p>I thought people with knowledge might like to rank the top undergraduate programs for engineering. I have a list of schools here to choose from, but please add other schools if you feel they are worthy.

<p>The ranking for you depends on information specific to you, such as:</p>

<ul>
<li>specific engineering major</li>
<li>cost constraints, financial aid situation, and state of residency</li>
<li>post-graduation goals</li>
<li>other preferences you have in a college</li>
</ul>

<p>For the first two, you can screen out any which do not have your major, and any whose net price calculator shows unaffordability and which do not have a large enough merit scholarship that may get.</p>

<p>um - ok</p>

<p>You have a list here.</p>

<p>Rank in terms of what.</p>

<p>What do you want out of college?
Size? Geography? rural/city? other students? financial aid?
These and others are the questions that you need to explore - not rankings.</p>

<p>Go visit schools/web sites and see what type might work best for you then go from there</p>

<p>I’d rank in terms of ice cream, but I don’t even see Penn State on the list.</p>

5

<p>If we are ranking in terms of ice cream I think the University of Texas has to win. Amy’s Ice Creams is just unbeatable.</p>

<p>Also note, I am so glad that the ice cream meme on this board is still alive and well.</p>

6

<p>We make our own Ice cream at NC State, from our own cows at the vet school, haha. It’s called Howling Cow Creamery.</p>

7

<p>You are missing Texas A&M and The University of Texas at Austin</p>

8

<p>Georgia Tech
UT Austin
Texas A&M</p>

<p>All those schools should be included.</p>

9

<p>I miss Blue Bell ice cream.</p>

<p>On a related, random note: Non-Texans almost always call bluebonnets “blue bells.” Drives me nuts.</p>

10

<p>You might as well use USNEWS considering thats what the list is based off. Seriously, there is so much more to a college than the name recognition.</p>

11

<p>Where are Penn State and Georgia Tech??? Besides, it seems like your rank depends on the overall ranking…</p>

12

<p>…and Purdue and Michigan and…</p>

13

<p>Rocky Road State
Sherbert U
University of Butterscotch
College of Lemon and Custard</p>

<p>all top ranked, prestigious ice creams</p>

14

<p>You’re missing the most selective engineering school, caltech.</p>

15

<p>I’m going to be honest when I say this: Caltech, according to most people I know who have attended, kind of stinks for undergraduate engineering.</p>

16

<p>Caltech is the only university (of non-dubious reputation) I’ve ever heard of in the US in which its students sometimes regret that they went there and try to convince others not to go.</p>

17

<p>you should have Cal Poly SLO in there too, it’s rated as equal to UCLA and UCSD; it’s just not that well known.</p>

<p>you should have also added Georgia Tech and Purdue for sure.</p>

<p>NeoDymium, thats interesting, any particular reason?</p>

They’re overworked into depression, and a lot of them become suicidal. No other school gives quite as much workload as Caltech does. Schools of the same caliber (Stanford, MIT, Berkeley) are much lighter on the workload, and even though they work hard very few students regret that work in those other schools.</p>
