The chemical engineering ranking is even more dominated by the US than usual, with almost a quarter (48) of the 200 top chemical engineering schools based in the US. The UK and China each claim 15 entries, Japan and South Korea 11 each, Canada 10, Australia and Germany 9, and India and Taiwan 7 each. MIT is joined in the top 10 by three more US universities, as well as two from the UK, two from Japan, one from Singapore and one from the Netherlands.
Chemical engineering is a particularly strong field for the National University of Singapore (NUS); this is its highest position in the 2014 World University Rankings by Subject – though it’s just one place lower in the rankings for materials sciences, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering. This is likewise the strongest subject area for the Netherlands’ Delft University of Technology, which also appears in the global top 10 for several other science and technology subjects, including civil engineering, mechanical engineering and environmental sciences, and the highest-ranking engineering subject for fellow technology-focused university, California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

Top mechanical engineering schools
In the ranking of the world’s 200 top mechanical engineering schools (which encompasses mechanical, aeronautical and manufacturing engineering), the US claims 43 entries and the UK 22. They’re followed by Australia and China with 13 each, Japan with 11, Germany with 9, Canada, India and South Korea with 8 entries each and Taiwan with 7.
Half of the 10 top mechanical engineering schools are in the US, with three UK top-10 representatives and one each for Singapore and Japan. This is a notably strong area for the University of Michigan, and also for Harvard University – which comes top of more of the 30 subject rankings than any other institution, but is within the global top 10 for just two of the four engineering disciplines covered.

Top electrical engineering schools
The ranking of the world’s top electrical engineering schools features 43 US entries and 18 from the UK; 13 each for Australia and China, 10 for Japan, 9 for Germany, 8 each for Canada, South Korea and Taiwan, and 7 each for India and Italy. This time the top 10 is composed of four US universities, three UK (again Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial), two Singaporean and one Swiss.
This is the strongest engineering sector performance from Switzerland’s ETH Zurich, though the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology actually ranks even higher for environmental sciences (3=), and scores well across a wide spectrum of science and technology subjects. Electrical engineering is also one of the strongest fields for Singapore’s second highest ranked institution after NUS, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), which also ranks especially well for materials science (8th) and mechanical engineering (12th).

Top civil engineering schools
Finally, a look at the world’s top civil engineering schools according to the latest World University Rankings by Subject. Again the countries with the strongest representations in the global top 200 are the US and UK, with 39 and 23 entries each. Next comes Australia with 15, China with 13, Canada with 12, Germany with 9, Japan with 8, and India, South Korea and Italy with 7 each – a fairly consistent reflection of the overall national spread in each of the four engineering rankings.
Last year, this was the only engineering field in which MIT didn’t occupy the top spot, but the tech powerhouse has now assumed the number one spot position too, with former leader Imperial College London falling slightly. As mentioned above, this is a particularly strong field for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, as well as for the University of Texas at Austin and University of Hong Kong.
