[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you find the graduation rate for engineering by school? I looked at the ASEE website and could not find this info.[/quote]

First, you need to look at first to second year retention rates specifically for engineering. This is usually possible if the the engineering school has separate entry. You often have to dig into the details to get it. The schools that have high rates for engineering students (97-99%) often brag about it(MIT, Penn, CMU, Georgia Tech, Hopkins, Northwestern). Those schools have the luxury of rejecting almost all applicants in the first place; the deck is loaded from the start. 
Purdue is very high (92%) for the relatively easier admit rate compared to tip-top E schools. VT is about 75-80% who hit the 3.0 to continue into the second year, based on the most recent data found from 2023. They do not brag about it thus it is hard to find.
 The national average of 1st to 2nd Engineering retention. based on studies that quote it is 51% ,though the data is from 2010.

Overall graduation rate in Engineering is important but not as important as the first to second retention. It can often be found in the CDS for schools that separate E-School data. [/quote]

excellent point. [/quote]
