Best Schools for a Sound Engineering Career

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

• Ranked No. 1, MIT offers undergraduate engineering degrees in aeronautics and astronautics, biological engineering, chemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, materials science and engineering, mechanical engineering and nuclear science engineering. MIT also has a flexible engineering degree program that allows students to complete core courses and choose a concentration, which can be either broad (energy or transportation) or focused (robotics or engineering management). This allows students to connect their education to other disciplines.
