[hot_choco]

<p>can you please post ranking for economics? Thanks alot</p>

[Aibek]

<p>Can anyone post the graduate school rankings for Engineering Management??? If any? or Technology Management? Or may be something near?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

hey guys, does anyone know where Carnegie Mellon fell for electrical engineering this year

</p>

<p>CMU ranked # 4 for computer engineering (# 3 the year before) and # 9 for electrical/eletronics/communications engineering ( #7 the year before). The School of Engineering as a whole (CIT) ranked # 6 this year (#8 last year). Please also note that, regardless of the area where you do your PhD thesis (computer engineering or electrical engineering), your CMU diploma will always say you have been awarded a PhD degree in “electrical and computer engineering”, reflecting CMU’s particular view of the increasing integration of those two disciplines in the 21st century.</p>

<p>It’s somewhat hard to distinguish between schools with close rankings, but, I’d say that, reputation-wise (the sole criteria for USN& WR specialty rankings) , it goes more or less like that in the US for EE:</p>

<p>Group 1: MIT, Stanford, Cal Berkeley, and perhaps Cal Tech;</p>

<p>Group 2: GA Tech, Illinois Urbana, Michigan Ann Arbor;</p>

<p>Group 3: CMU, Cornell, Purdue, Texas Austin, and perhaps Princeton.</p>

<p>The other top EE schools then follow in no particular order (UCLA, USC, UC Santa Barbara, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Columbia, RPI, Rice, Maryland, Penn State, etc.)</p>

<p>Rankings may be perceived differently though internationally. For example Princeton engineering or even CMU are probably more prestigious overseas than state schools like Illinois or Michigan, which are relatively unknown outside the US.</p>

[bruno123]

<p>Just to wrap it up, CMU’s view of integrated ECE as opposed to EE vs CE is best seen in the “research goals” of the ECE department found [here](<a href=“http://www.ece.cmu.edu/visitor/vision.html”>http://www.ece.cmu.edu/visitor/vision.html&lt;/a&gt;).</p>
