The World's Top Engineering and Computer Sciences Universities

[onedomino]

Compiled by four different organizations, this list speaks for itself. All of the top 15 technical universities are American, and 36 of the top 50. America is politically villified all over the planet, yet ironically there is no question about where the world must come when it wants the best education in how to construct and inform the future.

In France, the top engeenering formations are not in universities, but in the "Grandes écoles" (great high schools).
To enter here, there is a competitive exam, for each school. After two years of preparation to these exams (usually, the students are here between 18 and 20), the students, if they success, enter the school.

The french most famous schools are :
Polytechnique (nickname : X)
Ecoles des Mines
Ecoles des Monts et Chaussées
Arts & Métiers.

There are others, but I'm not a specialist of it.

So the fact that there is no french universities is not strange, in France it's more in these great high schools.

The Universities, in France, are more for the law studies or medical studies (because for science, there are these schools, and alos for trade, for litterature and philosophy....).

The Financial Times, british wolrd wide known newspapper, has done a classification, with ranks, for the management masters, trade studies.

Here is the european rank :

1. HEC Paris (France)
2. ESCP (France)
3. CEMS (Community of European Management Schools)
4. London School of Economics and Political Science (UK)
5. University of Bradford (UK)
6. Esade Business School (Spain)
7. Essec Business School (France)
8. Grenoble Graduate School of Business (France)
9. EM Lyon (France)
10. University of Cologne, Faculty of Management (Germany)
11. Aston Business School (UK)
12. Edhec Business School (France)
13. Solvay Business School (Belgium)
14. Copenhagen Business School (Denmark)
15. Stockholm School of Economics (Sweden)
16. Audencia (France)
17. University of Bath School of Management (UK)
18. University College Dublin : Smurfit (Ireland)
19. NHH (Norway)
20. Helsinki School of Economics (Finland)
20. RSM Erasmus University (Netherlands)
22. Vienna University of Economics and Business (Austria)
23. Corvinus University (Hongria)
24. Nyenrode Business Universiteit (Netherlands)
25. University of Strathclyde Graduate School of Business (UK)


HEC (Hautes Etudes Commerciales, aka Trade High Studies), was 11th acording to the NY Times.

The FT had done an other poll : for the ten best schools/universities for Master of Business : on the 10, 7 were french.

and the only school worth a damn didn't make the list....
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

Some of the equipment that I work with was made in France. You can read the manufacturing plate that's riveted onto the chassis. It is an impressive piece of equipment when you first see it in operation.
I am also very aware of Frances history in aviation. You don't have to tell me that the French have an impressive technological record.
My eyes roll every time I hear someone put down the French.
Interesting to know how the French higher education system is set up.

Nice to see my alma mater is still near the top of the list.

Although the antics of Bush Jr. did weigh negatively on the worldwide US image, I would challenge the "America is vilified" meme. Superpowers are always going to be less popular, but not necessarily hated universally.

 

[Dr.Traveler]

Say what you will about the public secondary and elementary schools, but American Universities and Graduate schools are still among the best in the world.

There's a reason so many come to the USA for a graduate degree.

PS: Nice to see my alma matter in the top 10, even though I got my doctorate in Mathematics there, not Engineering or Computer Science.

and the only school worth a damn didn't make the list....
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

That is a strange absence. I'd considered going there for undergraduate waaaayyyyy back in the day, but being poor I couldn't get the scholarship money together for it.

They've had a consistently good reputation. Wonder why they're not there now.

 

[rdean]

Why do conservatives say it's just as hard being an accountant as it is being a "scientists"? And, "The only difference between a scientist and any one else is a "little" study?

One thing for sure...the cost for that school isn't cheap....but what I like is the first year requirements ..... instead of a bunch of wussy liberal arts classes to fully indoctrinate young people into the Democrat Party they immediately immerse you in advanced levels of calculus....regardless of your prospective major.

 

[rightwinger]

Too bad that the top Engineering Students at those schools are not Americans

 

[Charles Stucker]

Why have I never heard this before?
Oh right -I'm a conservative scientist and don't follow all the fake polls.

As for the OP - who judged the schools for this list?
What criteria were used?
How much will prices go up because of a school being on this list?

If you have to ask you would not understand the answer

You can thank your Democrat controlled public education system for that...... even if it's true that is.

I graduated with an Engineering Degree 31 years ago and it was mostly foreign students. From what I see with recent graduates, it doesn't seem much different.

How did Democrats manage to control the public education system in Red States? I guess all those textbooks the Republicans are revising in Texas should have had more real science in them. It is hard to compete in the real world when you believe in creationism and that global warming is a hoax

 

[JakeStarkey]

Why are the American centers of higher education the best? Simple. The scientific method, rigorous inquiry, and critical thinking skills. Many of the far right conloons should keep that in mine when educated people laugh at them.

 

[Charles Stucker]

How did Democrats manage to control the public education system in Red States?

It's called Federal Mandates, something which should never happen, but there you have it.

So how did the socialist democrats manage to change their color to blue when communist red fits their ideology so well?

 

[JakeStarkey]

CharlieS, you are so silly. Who offered the "No Child Left Behind" monstrosity of a bill? The dems were just as bad as the pubs for going along with that one.
