The U.S. News rankings of undergraduate engineering programs accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology are based solely on the peer judgments of deans and senior faculty who rated each program they are familiar with on a scale from 1 (marginal) to 5 (distinguished). Engineering school deans and faculty members (two at each engineering program) were surveyed for this ranking in spring 2009.
