How to use this ranking.
Compare the balance between electronics, power and signals courses. Check lab access and whether you can specialize in an area such as computing hardware or communications.
What the rank does not tell you.
This combines college-wide results with the number of degrees awarded in the field. It does not measure teaching quality or earnings in this major. A larger program is not automatically a better choice for you.
Spike ranks the colleges in its guide, not every college in America. Read the full method and its limits, or compare colleges by your own priorities.
