<p>USNews does not rank Engineering Mechanics separately but it is included in its “Engineering Science/Engineering Physics” specialty ranking as part of the Engineering Science side of that, although engineering mechanics is different from engineering physics and different from what some schools may call engineering science. It lists only 6 colleges for that specialty ranking but, because the specialty includes majors other than engineering mechanics, the list includes colleges that do not have ABET accredited engineering mechanics programs at the undergraduate level:</p>
<p>1 California Institute of Technology Pasadena, CA
2 University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign Champaign, IL
3 Cornell University Ithaca, NY
4 University of California–Berkeley Berkeley, CA
5 Virginia Tech Blacksburg, VA
6 Pennsylvania State University–University Park University </p>
<p>The only two on the list with ABET accredited engineering mechanics programs at the undergraduate level are UIUC and VTech. The only colleges in the nation with ABET accredited engineering mechanics programs are those two and Johns Hopkins, UWisconsin, Lipscomb University TN, and Air Force Academy.</p>
