<p>Doesn’t seem exactly rigorous. That aside, the number of schools who get nominated under the specific programs ranges from about 8 to 25. Since Penn State ranks 17th overall for engineering, and Pitt ranks 52nd, I think it would be rather odd to see Pitt listed among any top ranked specialty.</p>
<p>We found that Pitt felt like there was much more emphasis on undergraduate engineering, which is probably not too surprising given the size of Penn State’s graduate program.</p>
<p>I think an engineering student should settle in at whatever school they feel “fits” them, where they think they will get the academic support they might need, and (maybe) at a school that has regional recognition wherever it is they’d eventually like to get their first job.</p>
