<p>What about LACs with strong engineering programs?</p>

5

<p>can someone put up mechanical engineering rankings?</p>

6

<p>caltech so far down? hmm</p>

7

<p>Biomed, anyone?</p>

<p>So no LACs with good engineering programs???</p>

<p>the nrc rankings listed in this thread are for graduate programs, which have a varying amount of relevancy to undergraduate quality depending on the school and major.</p>

<p>us news used to publish a ranking of undergraduate engineering programs (at both universities and lacs, im not sure if they still do) based on peer review scores. i have the 2003 rankings readily available:</p>

<p>best programs at schools with phd programs:

  1. mit
  2. stanford
  3. caltech
  4. illinois
  5. berkeley
  6. georgia tech
  7. carnegie mellon
  8. cornell
  9. michigan
  10. purdue
  11. texas
  12. princeton
  13. wisconsin
  14. northwestern
  15. johns hopkins
  16. penn state
  17. rpi
  18. texas a&m
  19. virginia tech</p>

<p>best programs at schools without phd programs:

  1. rose-hulman
  2. harvey mudd
  3. cooper union
  4. usafa
  5. usma
  6. rit
  7. usna
  8. bucknell
  9. cal poly slo
  10. embry riddle
  11. kettering
  12. milwaukee school
  13. swarthmore
  14. union
  15. villanova</p>

<p>also, the top five electrical rankings from this report (phd-granting schools only):

  1. mit
  2. illinois
  3. stanford
  4. berkeley
  5. michigan</p>

<p>and computer:

  1. mit
  2. carnegie mellon
  3. stanford
  4. berkeley
  5. illinois</p>
