UF ENGINEERING GRADUATE PROGRAMS TAKE SIGNIFICANT LEAP IN U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT RANKINGS AND RATE HIGH AMONG INDUSTRY RECRUITERS<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Building on an already strong reputation as one of the top public universities in America, the UF Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering is now ranked No. 23 overall among public universities by\u00a0U.S. News & World Report\u00a0<\/em>(USNWR), moving up one spot since the magazine\u2019s assessment of \u201cBest Graduate Schools\u201d last year, and has earned high marks from industry leaders looking for top-shelf engineering talent.<\/p>\n

Six of the engineering college\u2019s disciplines \u2014 computer engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering and nuclear engineering \u2014 are listed among the Top 15 programs among public institutions. The Electrical Engineering program\u2019s No. 14 ranking is the highest ever for the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering specialty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe upward trajectory of our engineering graduate programs as evidenced by rankings among the top public peer engineering institutions is a testament to our commitment to attracting and retaining eminent faculty,\u201d said Cammy R. Abernathy, Ph.D., Dean of the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering. \u201cWe are grateful to the investment from the state and all our stakeholders in support of our college\u2019s commitment to experiential learning, where our faculty and their graduate students continue to produce impactful, world-class research that not only serves to draw the best and brightest engineering students from all over the world, but also positions our graduate engineering programs at the University of Florida as a perennial leader in the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year, the college also broke into the Top 15 bracket and attained the No. 13 position among industry recruiters balloted by USNWR. A consistent emphasis on leadership mentoring, hands-on and interdisciplinary research \u2014 some of them conducted in real-world settings and targeted at solving the most critical societal problems \u2014 have meant that Gator Engineering graduates are among the most well-prepared in the workforce. The UF AI University Initiative further boosts the demand for these engineering graduates, immersing them in multidisciplinary, artificial intelligence technology that prepares them for success in what has been called the \u201cFourth Industrial Revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s rankings saw the following departments within the engineering college make significant moves:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Electrical Engineering program in the\u00a0Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering<\/strong>\u00a0made a big leap this year into the Top 15, moving up three spots from #17 to #14.<\/li>\n
  • Industrial Engineering in the\u00a0Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering<\/strong>\u00a0edged closer to the Top 10, moving to #13 from last year\u2019s #14 position.<\/li>\n
  • The\u00a0Department of Materials Science and Engineering <\/strong>continues to rank among the best public graduate engineering programs in the country, moving from #9 to #8.<\/li>\n
  • The Nuclear Engineering program within the\u00a0Department of Materials Science and Engineering<\/strong>\u00a0is ranked #12, and Civil Engineering within the\u00a0Engineering<\/strong>\u00a0School of Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment (ESSIE)<\/strong>\u00a0is ranked #17. Both remained the same from last year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
