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 38^th in the nation, compared to 52^nd last year.  

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

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

Civil engineering rose five points to 63^rd, and computer engineering rose two points to 95^th 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 104^th of 140 ranked, tied with Purdue and the University of Alabama.
