When you
decided to go into the field of engineering it may have never occurred to you
that there are so many different fields to choose from. It is important to go
to a great school that has the brand name to get you into interviews. It may
even get you a job depending on how well the essay writer likes graduates from
a certain school. The following is a list of those certain schools that will
help you find a great job after your graduate.
Massachusetts
Institute of Technology
The number
one school of engineering in the country is Massachusetts Institute of
Technology or MIT according to US News and World Report in 2013. Some of the
factors that make it the best is faculty to student ratio is over 1 to 5.
Meaning very small classes with individual attention. Another factor is the
acceptance rate of around 9 percent. To put it in perspective, they had over
18,000 applicants and only 1,600 were accepted into the program. The choice is
based on noble prizes and Field Medals. MIT has 78 Noble Laureates, 53 National
Medal of Science, 41 MacArthur Fellows and 27 National Medals of Technology and
Innovation.
Stanford
University
Stanford
University is located in the northern part of California south of San
Francisco. The school is comprised of 19 Noble Laureates, 24 MacArthur Fellows,
18 National Medals of Science, and 2 National Medals of Technology. The faculty
to student ratio is 8 to 1. The campus is near Silicon Valley and has a host of
labs and research centers for students to access. 20 percent of the school is
comprised of women. They also offer a few programs that cross over to other
school programs on campus.
University
of California at Berkeley
A third
school on the list is the University of California at Berkeley. It is located
in Berkeley, California just northeast of San Francisco. It has a faculty to
student ratio of nearly 1 to 6. More than 25 percent individuals accepted are
women. The tuition is by far the cheapest in the top five. One year for a
California resident is only a little over $11,000. Out of state students pay
over $26,000. It is located near the Silicon Valley and offers many
opportunities for its students.
California
Institute of Technology
The
California Institute of Technology or Caltech is located about 10 minutes east
of Los Angeles. It has a staff to student ratio of 1 to 6. About 24 percent of
those admitted are women. It does have some joint programs with UCLA for those
looking to become research medical scientist. The acceptance rate is just over
11 percent. It is a smaller college with only six engineering programs offered.
Carnegie
Mellon Institute of Technology
The
Carnegie Mellon Institute of Technology or CIT is located in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania. It is the second smallest school ranked in the top five. It has a
20 percent admission rate with a little more than 26 percent of those being
women. The staff to student ratio is about 5 to 1. The school offers programs
in other areas of the country such as Silicon Valley.
You cannot
go wrong in picking one of these schools to attend or having one of these
schools pick you. The private colleges cost about the same around the $40,000
range. The staff to student ratios are excellent in all of these programs;
everyone is at least 8 to 1 or less. If you do get a choice, choose the one
that fits best for you.
