Engineering is something that has penetrated each and every aspect of our life and with the increasing progress of technology, this penetration would constantly increase. Going to a top university is the dream of many high school graduates, and students pursuing a degree in engineering are no exception. When it comes to the best engineering colleges of the world, the competition is quite tough.
However, usually the top of the list is occupied by renowned names which are discussed below :
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology – MIT :
In almost all of the lists discussing quality engineering schools in the world, MIT is usually at the top. The research accomplishments of MIT, the high class of its faculty and the tradition of excellence have made this engineering institute a standard of brilliance when it comes to engineering. The university was established in 1861. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT as its more famously known, is almost universally regarded as the best engineering school in the country. MIT offers eight undergraduate degree programs and fifteen graduate degree programs and has one of the largest research facilities in the world.
