Peer Schools

• US News & World Report data I obtained from their Web site in Fall 2003. (Excel, 72kB). This data ranks computer engineering and electrical engineering undergraduate and graduate programs. I also included data for overall school of engineering ranking, school of engineering data such as research funding and PhD students/faculty, and CS graduate program rankings.
• This is peer data for schools selected by Mehregany as probably good models and peers for ECE. He wants to collect data for benchmark schools but the data on teaching contact hours has been difficult for us to get.
