What are the Best Engineering Schools in America?

The top engineering schools in the country are hotspots for big-name companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook to recruit fresh, new talent.

We're asking you to tell us which schools those are.

Last year you voted that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has the best undergraduate engineering program, but has the answer changed?

We've assembled a big list of schools from engineers, industry professionals, and entrepreneurs that work at some of the most popular technology companies out there.
