<p>Some more tools for researching engineering programs:</p>
<p>Here is a search engine for sorting engineering programs based on many different parameters. It also has information on each school (check dates as info for some schools is older) I set the search criteria to programs with a high percentage of women. </p>

<p>One might argue that an area of research that would have a high impact on undergrad engineering programs would be ”how to teach STEM courses more effectively”. Surprisingly, there are only a few schools in the world that have Phd. programs in this area. </p>
