The Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering has leaped forward on the world stage once again. According to the 2013 Academic Ranking of World Universities (AWRU), which is prepared by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, U of T Engineering ranks 12th in the world, up from 13th in 2012.
This is the seventh consecutive year U of T Engineering has been named the top engineering school in Canada in the Engineering/Technology and Computer Sciences category.
“It is gratifying that U of T Engineering has once again been recognized as one of the very best universities in the world,” said Dean Cristina Amon. “This is a reflection of our research contributions, our vigorous pursuit of excellence and our impact in the field of engineering, in Canada and the world.”
The Engineering/Technology ranking is based on institutional measures in categories such as, highly cited researchers; papers indexed in science or social science citations; percentage of papers in the top 20 per cent of journals in the engineering field; and, total engineering-related research expenditures, with respect to the size of the institution.
Other Canadian universities ranked in the top 200 engineering schools include: the University of Waterloo (ranked 43rd), McGill University (51–75), University of Alberta (76–100), University of British Columbia (101–150), University of Montreal (ranked 101–150), Simon Fraser University (151-200) and University of Saskatchewan (151–200).
