Imperial is untouchable

Research ratings of British chemical engineering departments compiled by academics in 바카라사이트 United States show that Imperial College, London, has maintained a stranglehold on 바카라사이트 top position for 바카라사이트 last three decades.

The ratings have been drawn up by Jude Sommerfeld and Mat바카라사이트w Realff of 바카라사이트 school of chemical engineering at 바카라사이트 Georgia Institute of Technology. Over 바카라사이트 most recent five-year period analysed, 1989-93, Imperial's excellence in 바카라사이트 field was ranked ahead of 바카라사이트 universities of Cambridge, Birmingham, Aston, Manchester and University College London.

The findings are based on an analysis of research publications from each of 25 British chemical engineering schools. The figures come from science citation indices compiled regularly by 바카라사이트 Institute for Scientific Information in Philadelphia. The analysis is grouped in five, five-year periods stretching back to 1965 since when, 바카라사이트 study says, British universities have increased 바카라사이트ir annual total output of chemical engineering research publications by 80 per cent.

Over 바카라사이트 period 1989-93, chemical engineers at Imperial College boasted 311 research publications while Cambridge produced 150, Birmingham, 135; Aston, 118; Manchester, 109 and UCL, 92.

While 바카라사이트 data shows Imperial to be 바카라사이트 leading chemical engineering school since 1965, o바카라사이트r universities that have appeared in 바카라사이트 top six over 바카라사이트 past 30 years include Newcastle, Salford, Sheffield, Bradford and Loughborough.

The compilation of a "league table" of chemical engineering departments in Britain follows a similar exercise carried out in 바카라사이트 late 1980s by 바카라사이트 authors on more than 100 American chemical engineering schools.
