[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, don't use rankings. Make your own set of criteria that are important for your DC and evaluate against that. The manner is which programs are run at colleges can vary quite a bit. Some require applying to a specific engineering discipline up front, others to the school of engineering, and others to the college generally. At some, it's easier to change engineering disciplines than at others. If your DC is not certain about engineering as a course of study, you will want to consider the colleges' other areas of study. Some schools great for engineering may be thin in other offerings as they skew more technical. Look for ABET accreditation to be on the safe side, though there are exceptions. MIT has some disciplines that are not ABET accredited (Mechanical Engineering comes to mind) because they find it limiting. No one is going to question an MIT mechanical engineering graduate.[/quote]
