NSF Rankings by net research expenditures in engineering…something cool to peruse over

http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/nsf09303/pdf/tab64.pdf

my comments…

-what’s john hopkins doin’ at the top of the list, I thought it was a small engineering school
-what do they mean by Penn state (all campuses)? would that be eqv to saying U of I at chicago plus urbana? same goes with U of MI (all campuses)…hmmm
-the data is kinda old (2007)
-MIT’s is 5x cal tech…shocker
-what’s engineering, nec? looking at Harvard’s zero’s and thought about it but…??
-I would have expected Civil to be lower than ME and EE, isn’t Civil inherently more industry oriented? what would they spend all the money on for research?
