More from the U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges’ ranking of engineering schools: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) dominated specialty areas of the magazine’s survey, taking the top spots in mechanical, electrical, aerospace and computer engineering among schools whose highest degree is a Ph.D.

Among schools whose highest degree is a B.S. or M.S., Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology grabbed the top spots in mechanical, electrical, civil and computer engineering.

All of the engineering college rankings were based on surveys of engineering school deans and senior faculty, the magazine says. Respondents rated the colleges on a one-through-five basis, with a “one” being marginal school and a “five” being distinguished.

Mechanical engineering had the following top ten doctoral schools (in order): MIT; University of Michigan; University of California-Berkeley; Georgia Tech; Stanford; University of Illinois; Purdue; Cornell; Cal Tech; and the University of Texas-Austin.

Non-doctoral mechanical engineering programs ranked as follows: Rose-Hulman; Cal-Poly; Cooper Union; Harvey Mudd; Kettering (formerly GM Institute); U.S. Military Academy; Bucknell; U.S. Naval Academy; Milwaukee School of Engineering and a four-way tie for tenth.

Best electrical/electronic (doctoral): MIT; Stanford; University of Illinois; University of California-Berkeley; Georgia Tech; University of Michigan; Cal Tech; Cornell; Purdue; Carnegie-Mellon.

Best electrical/electronic (non-doctoral schools): Rose-Hulman; Cal-Poly; Cooper Union; Harvey Mudd; U.S. Naval Academy; Bucknell; U.S. Military Academy; Franklin Olin College of Engineering; U.S. Air Force Academy; and a tenth-place tie between Rowan University and San Jose State.

I feel real proud of Rose-Hulman for their vision, mission and the dedication they live with for providing the best engineering and science education by attracting and facilitating the majority of best americans coming from rural background.
I have my two sons graduated in chemical engineering.

Light Matters: The Unsung Heroes of Modern Health Care
First, let's define "no-compromise." In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible.
