<li><p>Engineering employment in the US is less focused on school rankings than some other fields like management consulting. (In some non-US countries, you may find a much greater focus on school rankings.)</p></li>
<li><p>To the extent that school rankings matter (mainly in terms of where non-local employers fly to recruit), it is rankings in the desired engineering major that matter more than overall school rankings. Also, employers may have their own rankings based on their own experiences with graduates from various schools.</p></li>
