[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither school known for engineering.  Decide on other factors.[/quote]

Not true. Brown is not know for engineering. Duke is at #22 and Brown at #63 for engineering according to usnews.[/quote]

Hey folks!  Here's the guy who thinks USN has some kind of special formula!  And guess what?  [b]Those are the rankings for the graduate schools[/b] so they are largely irrelevant, even if it is a 10% delta between the 400 schools that offer engineering!  And both are ABET certified!

Great content here on DCUM!  Really helpful to the OPs.

/op the answer is where the best fit is assuming both have similar cost.[/quote]

Do you understand how engineering schools work?  The quality of the graduate school reflects the quality of the undergraduate school within the same university. [/quote]

If that were true, and personally I believe it is, schools like Berkeley and Michigan are woefully under ranked at USNWR. Then again in world wide rankings, both are properly ranked. [/quote]

The overall ranking takes into consideration of all programs within the university.  Berkeley and Michigan might be stronger than many universities in engineering, but weaker in other areas. OP's child is interested in engineering, and that's the focus here.[/quote]
