[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like people are being a bit obtuse. [b]Op is asking why having a graduate program in engineering matters.[/b] I’d say the easy answer is you can start in a research lab to attain skills for an internship, and if you end up interested in graduate research, you have access to the best labs. It also can be helpful in terms of the range of courses offered! [/quote]
The OP could have asked such a question without conflating the question with assumptions about the intent of rankings.[/quote]

The lists purport to rank best undergraduate engineering program for clicks and engagement but divides them into two lists …one with phd candidates walking around campus and the other a hodgepodge of military academies, tiny women’s liberal arts college, public schools with masters but no doctorate programs which seems weird. [b]Why not develop and rank school based on criteria that reasonable people would think…yeah that would actually help make an undergraduate engineering program the best[/b] [/quote]
The reasonable people in this case are those who responded to peer assessment surveys. If you would like to make the case that such responses are insufficiently authoritative, that's fine.
