Top Universities in Engineering 2014

M

assachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has
retained its position in the first place among the
Top 100 Engineering Colleges in World. The
ranking, which takes into account three ranking platforms,
namely, Times Higher Education (THE), QS and ARWU is
based on major yardsticks- i.e teaching, research, Industry
income, Citations and international outlook while ranking
the Top 100 Engineering Colleges in World 2014.

According to THE World University Ranking 2014, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley; Caltech
and Princeton University follow MIT as the best engineering colleges in the World. While, QS brings in Cambridge
University and ETH Zürich in the third and fourth position.
In the Top 100 Engineering Colleges in World 2014,
ARWU takes in citations as one of the major yardsticks and

20

hence ranks University of Illinois and University of Texas
among the top 5.
The USA dominates the list of the World’s Top 100 Engineering Colleges with universities. Interestingly, most of
the top five spots are captured by American universities
.Other countries that feature in the list are United Kingdom,
Singapore, Japan, Germany, Australia and so on. While US
and UK maintain a stronghold on the ranking list, Germany
is among the best represented country.
In terms of International Outlook, however, the United
Kingdom scores above the US. Most UK universities ranked
by THE carry scores more than 85 which more than MIT’s
score of 76.4. International Outlook focuses on the diversity in the campus and collaboration with international
researches on projects. This category reflects how global an
institution is.
