Quiz: What Do You Know About Top Small Engineering Programs?
Big research universities get most of the attention, but colleges that don’t grant doctorates can provide a solid education in a variety of settings.
When U.S. News & World Report releases its annual list of top U.S. universities, the highest-ranking schools all seem to have a lot in common: Private (for the most part), large, and focused on Ph.D.-level research. The same is true of engineering schools, though public universities such as Georgia Tech, Michigan, and Purdue also rate highly. But many small colleges that don’t grant doctorates also offer mechanical engineering programs, and depending on the student, these schools can provide a better fit for undergraduates. See what you know about the top ten mechanical engineering programs at schools that don’t offer doctorates according to the latest "U.S. News Best Colleges Ranking".
