MTU Engineering Programs On The Rise

Six graduate engineering programs at Michigan Technological University are on the rise according to a national report.

The annual graduate engineering specialty rankings were released yesterday by US News and World Report.

Environmental engineering was ranked 38th in the nation, compared to 52nd last year.  

Electrical engineering was ranked 92nd, up from 114th last year.  

Mechanical engineering ranked 53rd, an 8-point rise over 2014, and biomedical engineering also saw an 8-point increase, to 63rd from 71st.  

Civil engineering rose five points to 63rd, and computer engineering rose two points to 95th in the nation.  

Tech’s Department of Biomedical Engineering, which was ranked for the first time just last year, has climbed quickly to become one of the highest-ranked biomedical engineering programs at a university that is not affiliated with a medical school.

Overall, Michigan Tech’s graduate engineering programs ranked 104th of 140 ranked, tied with Purdue and the University of Alabama.
