Electrical Engineering Rankings – U.S. Universities

By HSB 

Here’s Electrical Engineering Rankings of U.S. Universities.

I’m not a big fan of University Rankings. But, readers of this blog and wants to use the ranking system to select universities. So, here’s the rankings for electrical Engineering. If you are looking for specific areas, like VLSI, Power Systems, Embedded Systems, Communication Engineering, I don’t have the list and you can certainly browse within specific schools.

If you are looking for some form of calculator, where you can enter GRE Score, Academics, TOEFL and hit submit and it will spit out good universities with scholarship, I can say one thing – stop searching for it. You are not going to find it. It doesn’t exists. Best way to find schools is through hard way, right way – spend time visiting each schools website and talk to current students.

If you think that’s time consuming, then if you end up selecting wrong school, without proper information, your life will be at huge risk, parents money, career, job search, … so I would do my research before applying to schools, not after getting admission. I guess you would also agree.

One of the blog reader, had admission from 2 universities. I asked him to go to University of Texas at Arlington, but he selected other school.  Within one semester, he ended up getting transfer to a different school. I’m trying to make students (your) life bit easier.

I don’t agree to this university rankings, but got to provide what readers ask for. Following electrical engineering ranking list is the published by U.S. News for 2007.

    HOW MUCH SCORE SHOULD BE NEEDED IF I WANT TO M.TECH IN ROBOTICS ENGINEERING.I AM AN 2ND YEAR B.TECH STUDENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

    • Shashank says:

      Do your best on every semester. Try giving some paper presentations. Your college fests should give you a great head start. Enroll for some internship programs. You can get to know about these things in the dailies.
      All the best.

  13. Hi Sir,

    I have completed my B.E in E.C.E and passed out by 2007. I am working in a s/w company for 2 1/2 years now; i would like to pursue M.S in U.S. I like to join the U.S university by fall 2010. I havent taken GRE yet and just now started to prepare for the GRE and Toefl. Please let me know the deadlines to apply for the Universities to claim scholarship/aid. As fas as i have heard, there are 2 deadlines for appyling to the Universities. One for claiming a scholarship and for normal application. So just wanted to know what will be the right time to apply for the Universities to claim scholarship if i would like to join by August 2010.

    Please help me with this, as this would be my first step which will impact my GRE preparations and henceforth all others.

    Thanks,
    Rajesh.G

  14. Praveen says:

    This is Praveen from Chennai. I am currently doing my final year engineering in Electronics and Instrumentation discipline. Am yet to take up my GRE exam which is in Sep 09. I am interested in topics like automation, process control, biomedical instrumentation and other allied courses related to instrumentation with a slice of electronics. Also I am a computer geek and love programming and stuff which I believe will come into play irrespective of the discipline I take up.

    Considering the above, could you suggest me the possible disciplines that I could take up for masters? I am sure I have to narrow down to something that comes under EE. But am really drawing a blank beyond that point.

    Also am desperate to know the list of universities that will fit into my needs. I have surfed several “rankings sites” and blog sites randomly and visited some college sites. But still I am not able to clearly focus on the 4 universities whose list I need to take along while writing the GRE exam. These are the stuff that are really vague Pls help me out by giving a list of disciplines that I could pursue and a list of mid-rated universities that cater to my preferences. My powerprep score is 1290 (a replica of actual GRE score)
    Best regards……

    • HSB says:

      @Praveen – Good to see a well written comment after long time. Comments like your will definitely get answers. It’s very hard to say the fields you may want to study just with 2 lines of your interests. You will have to browse university websites and see the courses offered and if you will be interested in studying such courses. To get list of Universities, consider joining Premium Membership Club from Happy Schools Blog.

      • Praveen says:

        Thanks HSB for the reply. I will follow your advice and try to narrow down to about 10 universities. Will get back when I need further help in zeroing in on the 4 univ.. Hope that would be okay!! Thanks and best regards,
        Praveen..

  16. K. Thomas says:

    Hello, my daughter’s a senior in high school and interested in attending college for mechanical or electrical engineering. We’re located in Georgia and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on the best colleges to attend (in or out of state). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    • HSB says:

      @Attending schools in Georgia will get you In-State fees. SO, try to get into Georgia Tech or other universities sin that system. Electrical and Mechanical engineering are good options, but she can consider Computer Science and Computer Engineering too.
      Computer Engineers are paid better than Mechanical and electrical.
