[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure. Most are at schools already highly ranked but I’m thinking of schools where the engineering specific ranking is much higher.

Are you asking why land grant universities that were founded 150+ years ago to teach engineering by charter have well regarded engineering programs? Cause there seems to be an obvious answer to that.[/quote]

Who cares why they were founded but why not have a discussion on whether one or more has become simply a well endowed engineering factory with large classes taught by graduate TAs with inconsistent quality from year to year, possibility limited individualized attention from tenured faculty until junior/year year all while dealing with 
hunger games type scheduling for access to superior labs…or perhaps the employment outcomes and quality of the students who graduate from these “non-elite” but well regarded land grant schools truly are a cut above…having two lists makes it difficult to know.

But do go back to boosting your favored tiny, limited schools and insisting that they're somehow offering a better education.  [/quote]
Based on survey responses, a college like Harvey Mudd may offer such an advantageous environment:

Based on the same source, undergraduate-focused colleges with strong engineering programs, such as Harvey Mudd, Rose-Hulman and Lafayette, also may offer sophisticated lab facilities:

C'mon man you are trying to hard but are misdirected.  For top Engineering schools we are not talking about "science labs' for goodness sakes.  For Engineering it's all about [b]Makerspaces[/b]. This is where Engineering and research is done. The Top Schools have the best and these are mostly all doctorate programs because of the research done at these schools that a lot is funded by private companies because of the value of the research coming out of these schools.   Not even close[/quote]
