Posted October 4, 200618 yr Ohio State 16th University of Toledo 18th full list here http://www.princetonreview.com/grad/research/articles/find/engineering.asp The University of Toledo’s College of Engineering has engineered its graduate education into a top 20 ranking of the country’s graduate engineering programs. In recently released rankings from The Princeton Review, UT is 18th in the company of Ohio State, Michigan, the University of Texas, Duke and others. The top-ranked program is the University of California at Santa Barbara. “To be named among a group of such exceptional institutions is both humbling and energizing," said Dr. Nagi Naganathan, dean of the College of Engineering. "The credit goes to the focused efforts of our faculty, staff and students for helping us deliver a quality graduate education. It is certainly gratifying to have The Princeton Review's independent analysis acknowledge these efforts." The Princeton Review collected and validated institutional and program specific data over the last two academic years to develop its first-ever list of the top 20 graduate engineering programs. Read the story here. The programs were ranked using a combination of quantitative criteria, including GRE scores, undergraduate GPA, percentage of applicants accepted and percentage of top undergraduates applying. The College of Engineering graduate programs first appeared in Princeton Review’s The Best Graduate Programs: Engineering in its 1997-98 edition. The College of Engineering offers master’s and doctoral degrees in several disciplines. Its graduate programs make use of faculty expertise to conduct research in the high-technology areas of the new economy, as well as the technologies that continue to underlie the economy of the region, state and nation. Through collaboration with industry, government and other institutions of higher learning, students and faculty in the College of Engineering are making significant technological contributions in Ohio and throughout the world. The Princeton Review is a private tutoring company for standardized tests and the publisher of the annual Best Colleges guidebook.
October 5, 200618 yr Just don't go to UC's college of applied science. It's an overpriced Devry with a c-paw logo , that's all it is. Weird that I got into DAAP but not the College of Engineering. Oh well, screw 'em.
October 5, 200618 yr random pope anecdote, A good friend of mine in the case school engineer lasted 2 1/2 years and eventually failed out. Goes to OSU, graduates summa cum laude

October 6, 200618 yr ^on the surface you'd think the opposite would happen. Case: world's lamest party university (both princeton review and playboy put them in the top 20), so less distractions=better grades OSU: world's greatest party university, more distractions=better grades. And yes i realize its a pointless personal story. Just one of my own personal reasons why I don't like surveys. hell when applying for jobs here in cleveland (or where CWRU name recognition is high), they are more concerned that you graduated from case than what you GPA was.
October 8, 200618 yr i guess the idea behind case is making everything extra impossible so if you do graduate, you must be semi-decent.
October 8, 200618 yr Hmmm...methinks something is seriously amiss. UCSB, Michigan State, and Delaware are suddenly elite engineering schools, and Berkeley, Stanford, and MIT don't crack the top 20?
October 9, 200618 yr Hmmm...methinks something is seriously amiss. UCSB, Michigan State, and Delaware are suddenly elite engineering schools, and Berkeley, Stanford, and MIT don't crack the top 20? That's right Dan. How can some dumbasses from Toledo be better at engineering than snobs from the Boston/San Francisco Area. I mean, come on, a top quality engineering school should have at least four Starbucks near campus. Good to hear Crapital Hill views haven't changed in the 10+ years I've been living here. ;)
October 9, 200618 yr This is seriously a really weird list.... way different from USNews' list. For engineering its always MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, Michigan, CalTech, Carnegie Mellon, Illinois-Urbana, etc... Michigan State blows; what the hell is it doing on this list?
October 9, 200618 yr Just for fun, why does Michigan State blow? That US News and World Report list has done more damage to more schools and their graduates than they even know.
October 9, 200618 yr OSU: world's greatest party university LMAO. I'm sure Wisconsin, Arizona, Texas at Austin, Florida, Ohio University, and West Virginia would disagree. :wink: OSU has been plummeting in the party/alcohol/drugs rankings while rising in the academic rankings. It makes sense to me... Because our "parties" have moved into more bars and other things. Plus, we aren't in the middle of nowhere.

Well, as an engineer, I know a thing or two about where my peers went to school. And it's not really debatable that Stanford and MIT conduct enormous amounts of cutting-edge research--something that directly correlates to the quality of a graduate engineering degree. If you actually read what I wrote instead of what you wanted to read, you'll see that I never called anyone at Toledo a dumbass. Lord, I love how you just LOOK to label anyone you can as an "elitist", Amrap. Parma boy--woe is you, huh?
October 9, 200618 yr ^^ That's the problem with commonly held assumptions. The assumptions tend to stay the same, but the facts might change over time. That whole "Earth is flat" thing. It took some folks 300 years to come over to the other side. Ever think, things might be a changin'. But hey, this isn't open to debate becuase you and your engineering buddies said so. As for your Parma clap-trap, go see the other thread.
October 10, 200618 yr well three hundred years from now I'll admit toledo "might" have a good engineering program.

October 11, 200618 yr Yes :) "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
October 11, 200618 yr well three hundred years from now I'll admit toledo "might" have a good engineering program. I heard the MEs do their sr. projects with legos.
October 11, 200618 yr I don't think anybody here at UrbanOhio actually went to Toledo (though I could be wrong). I mean, that would require, oh I dunno, brain processing? "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
October 11, 200618 yr Just to let everyone know, I go to the med school at the new merged UT (formerly medical univ of ohio, formerly medical college of ohio).
