<p>Saw the following ranking from the UK. QS is reputable for most uni’s and programs. This ranking however seems inconsistent with others that i have seen for Yale engineering. Is it the small size of Yale SEAS that influences the USNWR rankings? Yale does well in QS’s academic citations category. Is the weighting of this in QS the reason for Yale’s relatively high overall rank?</p>

<p>It also has Harvard ranked as #3 for Mechanical, Aerospace and Manufacturing. That alone leads me to hold these is pretty low regard.</p>

<p>I would take all rankings, including USNews rankings, with a grain of salt. The biggest thing to look for is what caliber of employers target the school and show up to the school’s career fairs.</p>
