<p>One thing I’d look for in addition to whether they have an engineering school that is good or great is what kinds of programs and supports they have for women engineers. USC has WISE, that has graduated many women engineers. The year our S graduated in 2010, ALL the top engineering awards went to women! I believe the WISE program is quite supportive of women. </p>
<p>You may wish to ask any women (and men) engineers you know where they got their degrees and any insights they have about their Us and any programs they specifically have to support women in engineering.</p>
