<p>RPI is ranked 20th in univ UG engineering with a peer assessment score of 3.7 RHIT is ranked first in the non-univ UG engineering with a peer assessment of 4.5 While I personally dislike the methodology behind USNEWS Engineering rankings, this at least indicates its rather dumb to make a definite claim that RPI is better than RHIT with a .8 disparity to explain. </p>
<p>Also, RHIT has a graduate program, just not a doctorate one, so good research is still present and obtainable for UGs (not that it wouldnt be if it were UG only, but ya)</p>
