This is mostly an opinion question, but I am curious to what school's most people think of when they think of engineering. If possible rank them according to their Chemical Engineering programs.
Thank you for informing me of Google… I am well aware of my opinion on the top schools, however, I would like to see comments from other people.

There are the great schools which always show up in the top rank – Stanford, MIT, Berkeley etc – but there are also "boutique" Engineering/Science schools with small enrollments but very high standards. Among these are California Institute of Technology, Rose-Hulman, Cooper Union, Harvey Mudd, and several others. A new school – Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering – is attracting a lot of attention.

I live in Canada and am interested in going into environmental engineering. I'm just wondering if it would be advantageous for me to earn my degree at an American school (I have been told that they are generally better than Canadian schools) and if so, which colleges/universities offer environmental engineering specifically?

I have two recommendations. Georgia Tech and Colorado School of Mines. Colorado School of Mines has a specific degree program called Environmental Science and Engineering.

However please realize there are real Engineering schools. They are not liberal arts colleges where you can get an engineering degree. They don't teach history, art, philosophy or other subjects like most colleges and universities. These are schools that teach subjects like math, chemistry, physics, geology and geologic engineering, mining engineering, etc. The only non-hard science department at Colorado School of Mines is the Humanities department. This department teaches you to write technical papers and reports and meets the state requirements so you obtain an accredited degree.

The ratio of female to male is much lower than other colleges or universities. (It was 10 guys to 1 girl when I attended Mines in the 70's.) These schools will work your a** off. You will not have the fun at these schools that you will have at other colleges.
But if this is where your interest lies and you are willing to put in the work and effort, these schools are where you belong.

hi

I was wondering, what are the best reputated and the best engineering schools in the country. Just wanted to have your opinions. Im currently majoring in Civil Engineering, Im still a sophtmore at a community college and I have a hard time picking a good engineering school.
Thank you for your help.

1. UC-Berkeley
www.ce.berkeley.edu

2. University of Illinois- Urbana-Champaign
cee.uiuc.edu

3. Stanford University
cee.stanford.edu

3.7 GPA, 2100 SAT, Decent extra curriculum
What engineering schools can i get into with those grades?
I dont even expect to get into MIT
can you tell me some realistic engineering schools that i would get in?
I recently found out about Rochester IT. But i have no clue about that school can you tell me something about it if you know?

You should take a look at schools like:

Georgia Tech
Harvey Mudd College
Carnegie Mellon
Purdue
Texas A&M
Penn State
Michigan
Wisconsin

As for RIT, they have THE MOST boring campus I've ever seen. But, a good program.

I am a junior in high school and am currently on the college hunt. I would like to go to a college with a strong reputation in engineering that also offers a great student life. Most likely I am not going to leave the midwest, but I am open to any college suggestions around the country.

If you like Colorado I would suggest UCCS (University of Colorado, Colorado Springs). I didn't go to this school but they have a good program.

The only thing I would recommend is for you to visit their websites and compare their classes, tuition, etc. Maybe even email a few professors and ask them which school they would recommend if you are flexible.

Good luck
