I think he was referring to non-AAU Notre Dame. Their research is miniscule but they aren't retards.
Sorry.  I was referring to FSU.

I don't know of any college rankings really matter in terms of getting a good job.  Obviously, a good degree from Harvard or MIT looks good, but we all know that.

One from UNC looks OK, one from Southeastern Missouri State doesn't.

It's interesting that's for sure.  They've got Arizona State ranked ahead of Georgia Tech.  CD should parade that all over town, in front of his snobby Tech friends.

That stood out to me.

Research $ has a lot to do with these rankings.

Ha.  My snobby Tech friend is my neighbor who is a retired professor and he's one of the nicest people I've ever met, not a sports fan.  I don't see much Tech gear here even though I'm less than two miles from campus.  We walk down that way fairly often and have lunch somewhere.  The amazing thing to me is seeing how many coeds there are at Tech these days.  

Unrelated question, for a BSENG degree, are some programs really strong in say EE and weak in Civil?  Or are they pretty good across the board if they are pretty good?

I'm not talking grad school.

There are definitely undergrad universities which specialize in one or a few disciplines in engineering, and are not as strong in other engineering disciplines.   But the differences aren't necessarily all that stark, because any university that focuses on engineering in general, will spend a lot of money across the board.

Some disciplines are pretty geographically focused.  If you look up the best Petroleum Engineering programs, for example, you won't be surprised at where they are located, geographically.  Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma.

That makes sense, I know petro eng can be lucrative.  We had folks who were Paper Engineers who were well paid as well.  You probably don't find those programs in Arizona.

Paper is interesting stuff.

I'd guess a strong civil department would likely be mirrored with strong ChemEng and EE etc.

I couldn't teach in a rural school, especially in Utah or the deep south.  I couldn't hold my tongue.
