How does Lehigh’s Engineering department stand against the Ivy league schools in the east coast? I recently found an article of this undergrad engineer, that was a recipient of the Buick Achievers Scholarship. Any suggestion about Lehigh as an graduate engineering school would be greatly appreciated!

How does the article have anything to do with the quality of Lehigh’s graduate engineering program? This guy is an engineering undergraduate there who got a scholarship.
I am not really familiar with Lehigh engineering program. Their undergraduate programs have a good reputation, but they don’t really do a whole lot in my field of expertise so I don’t really have much experience with them. What I can tell you is that the Ivies are a poor metric for measuring the quality of an engineering program. Outside of Cornell and Princeton, none of the Ivies give much thought to engineering for the most part.
Further, there really isn’t a good way to quantify the program of an engineering school as a whole at the graduate level. It will likely vary so much by individual department that you really have to look at that level to evaluate how strong the program is for you.
For a graduate engineering comparison, you need to look at the major state flagships which have very strong engineering research and then the Ph.D. granting [url="<a href=“http://theaitu.org%22%5DAITU%5B/url”>http://theaitu.org"]AITU[/url] schools. however, the most important thing is whether a particular program is strong in your area if interest. There are some very good niche programs out there in lesser known schools.
What is it that you want out of engineering?
