A Quick Guide to Colleges Offering Engineering Degrees February 2007 www.DedicatedEngineers.org A Quick Guide to Colleges Offering Engineering Degrees This quick reference guide provides a summary listing (by state) of all U.S. colleges and universities offering accredited bachelor’s (4-year) degrees in engineering – 363 schools in all, spanning all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. This summary list includes all engineering degree programs accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET, the recognized accreditor for college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering, and technology; online at www.abet.org) as of Oct. 1, 2006. 1 For detailed profiles of all listed schools and their engineering programs, please visit: The Online Guide to Engineering Schools www.FindEngineeringSchools.org Studying Engineering: The Academic Disciplines Within Engineering While you can earn a degree in “General Engineering,” the vast majority (about 98%) of all engineering bachelor’s degrees are awarded in a specific field (discipline) of engineering. Thus, it is important to have a specific engineering discipline(s) in mind when evaluating schools (and many schools will ask (or require) that you specify a particular discipline when you apply for admissions, although students are usually granted flexibility to transfer from one discipline to another, typically after the first (freshman) year of studies). Based on the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded annually, the academic disciplines within engineering offered at U.S. schools can be roughly divided into one of four size-based categories: • The “Big Four” Disciplines: Civil, Computer, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, which collectively account for approximately two-thirds (67%) of all engineering bachelor’s degrees awarded annually. • The “Medium Four” Disciplines: Aerospace, Biomedical, Chemical, and Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering, which collectively account for approximately 20% of all engineering bachelor’s degrees awarded annually. • The “Smaller Ten” Disciplines: Agricultural, Architectural, Engineering Management, Engineering Physics/Engineering Science, Environmental, General Engineering Studies, Materials, Mining, Nuclear, and Petroleum Engineering, which collectively account for less than 10% of all engineering bachelor’s degrees awarded annually. • The Specialty Disciplines: A variety of specialty disciplines offered (such as Ocean Engineering) that collectively account for less than 5% of all engineering bachelor’s degrees awarded annually. For more information on the various academic disciplines offered within engineering, please visit The Online Guide to Engineering Schools at www.FindEngineeringSchools.org. 1 Disclaimer: While all reasonable efforts were made to ensure the accuracy and sufficiency of the information provided, the authors assume no responsibility for any errors, omissions or inconsistencies that may be encountered.
