The ranking is based on an equal weight of program quality, as measured by US News & World Report, and estimated program cost. Savvy prospective graduate students want to know where to go to get the best bang for their buck, and this ranking effectively evaluates which engineering schools are doing the best job of balancing cost and quality.
"Adding a graduate degree to your resume is a solid investment toward landing a higher-level management position within the engineering field. Choosing to complete your engineering degree online offers flexibility on a number of levels, allowing you to get the education to advance in your field, without actually having to leave the field to do it," says Michelle Rindy, who helped put together the ranking. The investment in higher education in the engineering field typically has a big payoff. The US Bureau of Labor and Statistics states that the average pay for an engineering manager in 2012 was nearly $125,000 per year, which was considerably higher than non-management engineering positions.
