<p>Know how they were ranked:</p>
<p>“The rankings are based solely on a peer survey of deans
and senior faculty that asked them to rate each program they
are familiar with on a scale from 1 (marginal) to 5 (distinguished).”</p>
<p>In other words, I don’t think it means too much… IMHO. Now if it were rankings of employers that hired engineers and rating the readiness of the graduates for the job I would be interested in THOSE ratings.</p>
