Theelectrical engineering subject ranking includes 84 US universities in 2019.  Of these 84, 16 rank within the top 50. Once again, MIT is in first place, achieving perfect scores in both the employer reputation and academic reputation indicators. UCLA remains in fifth place this year, despite dropping four places in the world subject rankings.

Other notable universities in the US, all in the top 10 in the US for electrical engineering, include Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech, 14^th), California Institute of Technology (Caltech, 15^th) and Carnegie Mellon University (rising two places in the world subject rankings to 16^thplace this year.)

The mechanical, aeronautical and manufacturing engineering subject rankings feature 502 top universities in the world, of which 90 are in the US. As with the other branches of engineering we have explored so far, MIT takes the top spot, closely followed by Stanford University in second place. Stanford University scores well in all indicators, in particular the h-index and citations per faculty, showing the quality of the institution’s academic output.

Notable mentions include Northwestern University, ranking 10^thin the US and climbing four places in the world subject rankings this year to place joint 32^nd.

Included for the first time in 2016, the mineral and mining engineering rankings is the smallest of the five, with only 50 universities featured this year. Eight of these are located in the US, withthe Colorado School of Mines placing first in the world for mining engineering, earning a perfect score in the academic reputation indicator. Other notable universities in the US include University of Utah(35^th) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (46^th) and Missouri University of Science and Technology(48^th).
