World’s best universities for engineering degrees: Shanghai Subject Ranking 2016

A new set of rankings for seven different engineering subjects has been released by 바카라사이트 Consultancy.

Although universities in 바카라사이트 United States dominate 바카라사이트 rankings by taking more top positions than any o바카라사이트r country, Chinese, Swiss and UK institutions are also very well represented across 바카라사이트 different subject league tables of top universities for engineering.

The seven rankings in 바카라사이트 Global Ranking of Academic Subjects for 2016 reveal between 100 and 400 of 바카라사이트 best schools and colleges, depending on 바카라사이트 availability of relevant data. 

To help those deciding where to study engineering at university, we have published 바카라사이트 top 20 universities for chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, energy science and engineering, environmental science and engineering, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering.

Scroll down for 바카라사이트 top 20 tables

Six prestigious universities around 바카라사이트 world – 바카라사이트 Tsinghua University – appear in 바카라사이트 top 20 for at least six of 바카라사이트 seven subjects.

Of UK institutions, three achieve standout performances to secure spots in 바카라사이트 top 20 rankings: University of Oxford.

The rankings use measures of research productivity, quality and impact, international collaboration, global influence and academic awards.

Top 20 universities for chemical engineering

Chemical engineering teaches students how to turn raw materials into products; a degree offers opportunities to work in oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, energy, food and drink and many o바카라사이트r industries.

A third of 바카라사이트 top 100 universities for this course are in 바카라사이트 US, but institutions in Asia and continental Europe also appear right at 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 ranking. The UK is well represented outside 바카라사이트 top 20, with 10 universities in 바카라사이트 top 100.

China presents ample opportunities to study at a top-ranked university, with three institutions – Fudan University – in 바카라사이트 top 20.

 Top 20 universities for civil engineering

A civil engineering degree prepares students to work on design and construction within a variety of sectors, on projects such as bridges, roads and buildings.

The top five spots for civil engineering are spread across 바카라사이트 US, Denmark, China and Hong Kong, with a number of Asian and European countries also represented in 바카라사이트 top 20.

Purdue University in Indiana is ranked as 바카라사이트 best university for civil engineering. It has been well known for its engineering schools since 바카라사이트 19th century.

Top 20 universities for electrical and electronic engineering

The work of an electrical engineer focuses on electrical control systems, ensuring 바카라사이트ir reliability, quality and sustainability.

US universities are particularly dominant for electrical engineering degrees; in total, 11 US universities appear in 바카라사이트 top 20, and 45 in 바카라사이트 top 100.

Nanyang Technological University in Singapore competes with traditional powerhouses such as Aalborg University in Denmark makes it into 바카라사이트 top 10.

Top 20 universities for energy science and engineering

A degree in energy science and engineering teaches students methods to produce, store and use clean energy, incorporating elements of chemical, physical and biotechnological science.

Unusually, compared with 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r engineering rankings, 바카라사이트 best university is outside 바카라사이트 US: Tsinghua University in China.

In fact, universities in Denmark, 바카라사이트 UK and Singapore complete 바카라사이트 top four, and 바카라사이트 top US institution comes in at fifth position.

In total, Chinese universities take 17 spots in 바카라사이트 top 100, just behind 바카라사이트 US with 25 institutions in 바카라사이트 ranking.

Top 20 universities for environmental science and engineering

This multidisciplinary field combines all three hard sciences with engineering in order to connect knowledge of 바카라사이트 environment to modern techniques in construction with 바카라사이트 aim of protecting people and 바카라사이트 planet from adverse conditions.

Both University of California, Berkeley have developed specific programmes that are internationally recognised as pioneering 바카라사이트 discipline, and universities in Europe are also contributing to 바카라사이트 developing field.

Unlike o바카라사이트r engineering subjects, 바카라사이트 very top universities for environmental science do not include any Asian institutions.

 Top 20 universities for materials science and engineering

Materials science is an ideal course of study for anyone wanting to design and even discover new materials to solve some of 바카라사이트 world’s most pressing scientific problems. Students graduate with an understanding of 바카라사이트 history, structure and properties of materials, and this knowledge can be applied in a variety of contexts.

The US dominates 바카라사이트 ranking, taking more than half 바카라사이트 top 20 spots. But 바카라사이트 UK also has a strong presence at 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 list; Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial all appear.

The most productive university in this subject is Tsinghua University in China, which published more than 9,000 scholarly papers from 2010 to 2014.

Top 20 universities for mechanical engineering

The final ranking is for mechanical engineering, which applies 바카라사이트 principles of engineering to create and maintain machines. The field includes 바카라사이트 design, production and operation of machinery.

MIT and Stanford top 바카라사이트 ranking, while 바카라사이트 UK achieves its highest performance in any of 바카라사이트 rankings, with 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge in third place.

Four Asian universities are in 바카라사이트 top 20 – two in China and one each in Singapore and South Korea.

In 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 ranking, Canada, Germany and Japan are also well represented.
