This year, the publication did not rank computer engineering programs because they chose to publish their new computer science rankings. U.S. News will resume doing computer engineering rankings next year.

The College of Engineering at Georgia Tech retained its 4th place ranking from last year. A news release on the Georgia Tech site detailing the rankings of other engineering disciplines may be found at http://www.gatech.edu/newsroom/release.html?nid=55382.

"Our continued success can be attributed to recruiting and retaining the finest faculty and students that are supported by an excellent group of research and administrative staff," said Gary May, professor and Steve W. Chaddick School Chair of ECE. "While these sorts of rankings mean different things to different people, I am very proud of our long record of sustained high placements among the very best of our peers."
