The US is one of the educational powers and houses a number of engineering schools located in different parts of the country. Below are a few of them that have managed to distinguish themselves in at least one of the basic aspects, such as a number of students/academics, majors, campus, research areas etc.
The most popular engineering school throughout the US is Engineering School based at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is attended by almost three thousand students and the number of faculty amounts to around 370. The school is both one of the biggest and most respected in the academic world. Almost a half of all MIT students choose to study at Engineering School. Numerous fields to specialize in provide students with a golden opportunity to become a decent expert in a given discipline.
Stanford Engineering School is another top choice as far as engineering schools are concerned. This academic center provides educational opportunities for more than 3,500 students and more than 200 academics working full-time. Its campus consists of state of the art laboratories and research centers facilitating educational processes at the university and bringing hands-on experience for the students.
Yet another respectable engineering school is Berkley College of Engineering, a part of University of California. There are eight specific areas in which the UOC students can specialize. One of the convenient options the college offers is that the students can choose between a one-year or two-year program. Each graduate student is supposed to complete two minors as well. The minors can have roots in different disciplines. As a respectable college, Berkeley College of Engineering enjoys an amazing campus that caters for all students’ needs.
If one looks for some other place to start their studies, California Institute of Technology and its Engineering School constitutes a perfect place for that. Various studies programs, be it one-year or two-year ones, secure some room for choice for students. There is a unique opportunity at this university to enroll in a common M.D. and Ph. D. program that is tailored for those who want to graduate from medicine studies. The campus the Engineering School has is a friendly place both for relaxation, accommodation and extra scientific reserch.
Last but not least, there is Pittsburgh Engineering School, which is a part of Carnegie Mellon University. The school offers 10 multi-fielded majors and each of them is run along with another department of the university. International research is available for students willing to join research projects. They have an opportunity to conduct a piece of research in Chile, Portugal and Japan. Engineering School at Carnegie Mellon offers interesting majors and makes it possible for students to study either one or two years.
As you can see, top engineering schools do not differ to a large extent and nor do other engineering schools throughout the US. This leads to the conclusion that the US have an extensive group of engineers who present similar level of expertise. So if you, let us say, seek a company dealing with civil engineering in Miami, there will be a decent company with skillful engineers ready to cater for your needs.
