Engineering School Rankings for 2014

Engineering School Rankings for 2014 - RF CafeEngineering college rankings for 2014 have been out for a while now, so I'm a bit late reporting the results. All the ranking entities have their own set of criteria and claim to be objective, but unless there is a mutually agreed upon standard, let's face it, they all have a component of subjectivity in the ordering. I'm not going to tackle the validity of methods used, but instead will present the data. Note, however, that it is worth doing a quick read through the stated methods since some are based on institutional research and others rely solely on student surveys. Some rate only schools whose highest degree offered is a Bachelor's, while others include graduate and post graduate schools. Being that RF Cafe is viewed by a worldwide audience, I have included information on global rankings as well.

 

Schools are located in the USA unless otherwise noted.
