<p>But that’s my point. The methodology for this ranking is severly flawed in that it only takes into account citations per paper. If we could hypothetically extend this methology to include individual people, one could say that a single engineer who is cited 3 times for 1 paper (giving him/her a relative impact of 300%), is better at engineering than every university in the US. Do you not realize the severe fallacy of that kind of methodology? One simple way to improve the ranking would be to base it on the # of papers with respect to relative impact. And once again, I highly doubt that this ranking of engineering programs is regarded as accurate. Show any engineer this ranking; he/she will roll on the ground laughing. To claim that Yale is the best engineering school, and that MIT and Berkeley are not even in the top 10 will never be highly regarded in any setting.</p>
