[quote=Anonymous][quote]Also, our universities are *not* necessarily the best in the world - in fact, university degree programs in the US have become watered down over the last several decades - the typical Engineering degree in the US in many cases is down to less than 125 credits, as opposed to 135+ 20 years ago, and the content is less deep and rigorous than it was. You should take a look at technical programs at universities like Technion in Israel as compared to one in the US and you will see both more content and deeper content than for the corresponding program in the US. [/quote] Here is the list. Technion is number 69. MIT is number 1. Stanford is number 2. UC-Berkeley is number 3. http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2013-14/subject-ranking/subject/engineering-and-IT[/quote]
