Diana’s Answer

Hi Will, this is a great question! Which discipline of engineering are you referring to? Civil, hardware, software, etc? I can't speak to the other disciplines, but if you're interested in software engineering, choosing a college that is located close to a "tech hub" would be extremely beneficial. Colleges that are located in Silicon Valley (SF, San Jose, Palo Alto, etc.) or in places like NYC or Seattle, tend to have close relationships with tech companies and provide a wealth of opportunities in terms of clubs, mentorship, and internship. If you want to study outside of the country, there are "tech hubs" all over the world too! For example, in Canada, Vancouver and Toronto.

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and University of North Dakota are well know ones. But other state schools have very good programs.

ABET accredited is all you really need to make sure they are. The companies done really care from where as long as they are accredited.

Joseph’s Answer

For the best universities for a particular subject, you can look at league tables like the link below.

https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/university-subject-rankings/2020/engineering-technology

However, those listed are worldwide; so it depends how willing you are to move long distances to study. You can narrow down the rankings by country if you want to stay in your own country, and you might even find elsewhere (with a bit of Googling) state league tables if you want to stay more locally.

David’s Answer

Will - The best school is the one that (in no particular order)...
1) provides the area of study you are interested in - there are a lot of branches of engineering out there
2) will not sink you deeply in debt - education is an investment and should have a payback
3) has good support for helping graduating seniors land a good job - look at "job placement rates"
4) is close enough to home in case you need emotional support - engineering school is not easy
5) is used for recruiting students for a particular company - e.g. - my employer only looks at students from certain schools so if you want to work for us, go to one of those schools
6) is ABET accredited
Best of Luck!

Dominick’s Answer

Two colleges in South Carolina have great engineering programs: the University of South Carolina and Clemson. USC is the bigger of the two and Clemson is essentially a college town so you can differentiate the environments a bit. I'm also told that there's a great, comprehensive engineering program at Georgia Tech. And of course, if you'd like to shoot for the cream of the crop, then MIT or Stanford are your best bets.
