East Coast Engineering Schools

College Search & Lists
1

<p>I am looking for a school that offers a good engineering program that is not very difficult to get into. What schools would this include?</p>

2

<p>That depends on your definition of difficult to get into.</p>

<p>wpi, northeastern, bu, umass, umd, and gatech have good programs and I believe uf, udel, and virginia tech do as well though I didn’t look at them myself.</p>

3

<p>yeah i second prism’s advice</p>

4

<p>penn state, if you consider that east coast. they are very highly ranked and are relatively easy to get in.</p>

5

<p>I would also like to mention that their are many good engineering schools in new york and Pennsylvania, such as penn state mentioned above, if you consider those states east coast.</p>

6

<p>Not that difficult would be outside of top 5 for enginerring and also for out of state</p>

7

<p>^Both number 5s are easier to get into than many of the colleges a little further down >_></p>

8

<p>what are the two number fives??? From your list earlier?</p>

9

<p>Add Stevens Institute of Technology</p>

10

<p>By looking at your stats from your profile, I would recommend that you check out the following well-known east coast engineering schools:</p>

<p>Virginia Tech
Pennsylvania State U.–University Park
Rensselaer Polytechnic Inst. (NY)
Boston University
Northeastern University (MA)
Worcester Polytechnic Inst. (MA)
Rochester Inst. of Technology (NY)
Polytechnic University (NY)
New Jersey Inst. of Technology
Stevens Institute of Technology (NJ)</p>

<p>Thank You. I will look at those. Some I haven;t heard of but more schools added will be greatly helpful</p>

12

<p>Temple, Maryland, UCincy, Buffalo, UMass, UConn, Stony Brook, Rutgers</p>

<p>I assumed you were talking about the U.S. new general engineering ranking for universities. Tied for 5th are Georgia Tech and UIUC. Both are excellent, but not super difficult to get into. UIUC may be harder to get into for engineering than for other things just based on the strength of its engineering program, I really don’t know anything about the school. And with gatech there is probably some self selection going on with its applicant pool. But yeah you would most likely get into both places I would guess. Only reason you wouldn’t is that your test scores are a bit on the low side.</p>

14

<p>thank you. I will check those two out</p>

15

<p>NC State University
UNC-Charlotte
University of South Carolina
Clemson University</p>

16

<p>Any good civil or envonmental engineering prgorams?</p>

17

<p>any good for civil/environmental?</p>

18

<p>bump…</p>

<p>Bucknell is a top engineering school (ranked consistently in the usnews top 5- 10 for undergrad schools w/o graduate degrees for various engineering discipline’s).</p>

<p>Not easy to get into, but I do not know your stats.</p>

20

<p>Bucknell is ranked #5 (USNews) in Civil Eng. for schools w/ highest degree being bachelor’s or master’s.</p>

<p>This just means the school is not being ranked against large graduate institutions such as MIT, Cornell or Cal-Tech, etc. But probably a lot of their (Bucknell’s) graduates do go to these bigger schools if going to graduate school.</p>

<p>Graduating from a highly ranked undergraduate school should help you earn a quality (high paying??) job or gain admittance to a good graduate school. These are questions you should ask when considering your undergraduate school.</p>
