Does anyone know what factors into the almighty rankings for undergraduate engineering programs? My S is deciding between ME at Berkeley (#2) and UCLA (#19).

Overall UCLA and Cal are ranked very closely, and UCLA would offer an enticing change of scenery (we’re from NorCal). But the engineering school and ME program are ranked significantly higher at Cal.

What does the difference actually mean?? Thanks!
