Which Top 50 colleges are weak when it comes to Engineering? And besides the obvious (MiT, Stanford, Cal), strong?

+100 Engineering is not WASPy. Not many upper class families pushing their kids into engineering.

Maybe not where you are but the 1% in Silicon Valley sure are

Engineering - or computer engineering?

We are looking into engineering programs and think BCs is not even ABET approved yet -

The Human-Centered Engineering program is being designed to meet the standards of ABET, the main body for accreditation of engineering programs in the United States.

An engineering program cannot apply for ABET accreditation until after it has graduated its first class. With that in mind, we expect to apply for ABET accreditation in the year following the graduation of the Class of 2025. ABET accreditation will be applied retroactively to the previous years’ classes.

Engineering = vocational training through the use of a standardized curriculum. Any one is as good as any other except for the top two. CS is a very different matter.

MIT’s elementary education department sucks.

(not the same poster) I heard from an Indian woman that engineering is a highly prestigious major there.

Incidentally, Stanford’s engineering programs, with the exception of CivE and MechE, are no longer ABET accredited.

All weak

Brown Tufts, BU and Dartmouth have strong ENGR programs. Yale is on the rise. I don't think U Chicago actually has engineering unless you count relationship w/ molecular ENGR. So, to put all these schools together on a list and say "weak" just belies your lack of knowledge of the various schools.

Actually, engineering at these schools is not thought to be at the top according to peer assessments.

The rating of these schools demonstrates this fact.

Brown - 37
Yale - 37
Tufts - 61
BU - 46
Dartmouth - 53
NYU - 61

Texas A&M, Arizona State, and UC-Boulder have better engineering programs than the entire list.

There was a time SV would take any engineer trained brain. Still the case?

Dartmouth is not good for undergrad engineering. The only ABET accredited program they have is "general engineering"

OK Dartmouth is on par UMass.
