Cornell and Penn in comparison are much more pragmatic.  Both have separate engineering schools that teach kids how to actually code.  Both have separate undergraduate b-schools.  In general Wharton and Dyson kids are very preprofessional, go getters.  [/quote]

Harvard has a School of Engineering and Applied Sciences [/quote]

NP.  Yes, relatively recent addition and not highly regarded as yet. [/quote]

False. Harvard SEAS started around 1918 but has its roots in the partially affiliated Lawrence scientific school circa 1850. Penn Engineering started in 1852 with its school of Mines.
MIT was founded in 1861. Stanford Engineering is celebrating its centennial this year and is generally considered top3. Age of school is not necessarily relevant to engineering prowess at the cutting edge of research and technology.

Harvard Engineering may not be the level of MIT or Stanford, and is in fact not quite Penn or Cornell or Berkeley or CMU but it is a well established Engineering school with top grad programs and top research overall T20 for Engineering, T10 in some areas. [/quote]

Into this century, Harvard offered only General Engineering degree to undergraduates, which is only a half step better than no engineering at all. They only started offering EE and MechE degrees fifteen or twenty years ago. So it is a young program.[/quote]

This. General Engineering degrees are a wholly different animal from specific degrees like EE and MechE. [/quote]
