Engineering Schools

We can talk about famous engineers, acts of invention, unthinkable structures, and new design all we want. But unfortunately, we need to do some studying to get to this point. Since my current residence at East Stroudsburg University only offers a pre-engineering major, I've been looking into some respectable schools around the area that I may consider transferring to. While I was surfing the Internet about this topic, I wondered, "If I had unlimited financial capabilities and a 4.0 GPA, where would I go to school?” So I proceeded to type into the Google search bar, "best engineering schools in the USA". I immediately looked for a reliable website and shortly after found www.usnews.com. They rated the top engineering schools in the USA from 1-10 in this order: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (no surprise there), Stanford University, University of California- Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, Cornell University, Carnegie- Mellon, and last but certainly not least, Purdue University. It shocked me that one of the top ten engineering institutes in America is only about 4 hours away from here. Carnegie- Melon is a prestigious university with much respect. Hey who knows, with the right amount of money, you can go to school wherever you’d like.
