[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on the level of competition. Michigan, Johns Hopkins, Duke, Air Force, Naval Academy, West Point. Ohio State, and UVA for D1.The rankings also are dependent on engineering disciplines.

There are really good engineering schools that offer club programs.[/quote]

Do people even read the OP's topic? The OP specifically said Aerospace Engineering - Duke, UVA and Hopkins don't even had departments for that. As an engineering graduate from one of those schools, I wouldn't really recommend any of them for someone that is only thinking about getting a Bach of Science in engineering. Those schools lean more to the theoretical end of the academic spectrum and want their students to work toward a master or Ph.D. over just an undergrad degree.

UM, OSU and the Academies obviously do (though AFA and USNA are head and shoulders better engineering schools than Army). They also lean more toward the practical end of the engineering education for those students that want a BS and go work somewhere right after school.
Most of the best aerospace departments are out west - think Stanford, ASU, Cal Tech etc. or big state schools like Purdue, UT, TAMU, etc. Most of those schools only have club teams. That doesn't mean they aren't good lax programs just they don't play in the NCAAs and you pay club fees to pay rather than just be on the team like for D1, D2, or D3.

You might also want to think about D3 schools that might lean toward the liberal arts but offer 3/2 programs. Those are programs where you attend the school and earn a BA degree in 3 years in the major of the students choice and then get a BS from another school in your engineering field. I have no idea if schools that F&M affiliates with have aerospace programing but here is F&M's info on it. https://www.fandm.edu/ospgd/stem-professions/engineering-professions-advising  Other more liberal art D3 schools have similar programs.[/quote]
