Best Undergrad Engineering programs -

https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering-doctorate[/quote]

Hmmm didn’t see uva on that list. Maybe uva wise is ranked higher?[/quote]

It's waaay down on the list.  That was why I posted the link.  Someone here was bragging (quelle surprise!) that UVA had a highly ranked engineering program.  It does not.  [/quote]

You also have to consider the overall rating. Harvard is not on the top list your provided either.[/quote]

Yes, exactly.  Why would someone choose to study engineering at a school that is not highly ranked in that discipline?  [/quote]

UVa is ranked #38 in engineering...Virginia Tech #31[/quote]

the rankings sometimes relate to grad-school training. In addition they do not include average intelligence of the students nor the ratings of what math classes are offered. That matters to those of us with doctorates or who have knowledge of the stem fields. Rankings are only useful if you care about the criteria used. Many do not care about how much a school boosts pell grant kids or how large the size of the program is. [/quote]
