According to the site SuperScholar the most important thing to be looking for when choosing an undergraduate engineering program is the quality of the instruction. More than any other discipline, engineering requires that you understand and build upon the foundational principles. As such, the best engineering programs for undergrads will help build this foundation.
A common mistake that undergraduate students make is to choose their school based on the quality of its graduate program. However, a quality graduate program in engineering doesn't always translate into a top notch undergraduate engineering program with sound instruction.
Below is a list of the top 10 engineering programs in the United States based on their overall quality of instruction:
1. Bucknell University
2. California Polytechnic State University
3. Colorado School of Mines
4. Cooper Union
5. Harvey Mudd College
6. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
7. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)
8. Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
9. Villanova University
