Creativity Encouragement 5% - Work is Useful 4% - Faculty Accessibility 4% - University Funding Use The rationale behind this ranking structure is as follows: Educational Quality - (in program). Educational Quality is a umbrella over many issues designed to capture (overall) the quality and depth of instruction at an institution. Academic Success is based upon understanding - While a student may be learning and exceptional amount from his or her program, upon graduation, his or her initial earning power (salary) and job quality will be largely dominated by grades. This metric is an estimation of how well the grades a student receives actually match with their competency in the material. Some schools stake their reputation on their ability to spread out grades ('no grade inflation') and to make very qualified and competent students suffer later in life (earning power) for the sake of the school reputation. This does students and families a great disservice, as they are making significant investments for both the education and reputation to assist them. Instead, by spreading grades, the school is taking that investment and punishing the customer. Creativity Encouragement - Engineering, particularly is noted for its lack of creativity. Some people have noted that creativity has no place in engineering. However, this is the exact opposite of being true. Nowadays, more than ever, practical engineering itself is reduced to an overengineered process. Unfortunately, many of the tasks taken by engineers, if lacking creativity can be reduced to simple programs. The engineer is seen more as a 'translator' between the human ideas & management and the physical implementation. Creativity however, makes the engineer more than just a tool, bringing value (salary/job reliability) to them immediately and further into the future. Usefulness of work - Being kept busy, repeating mundane application tasks does not guarantee that a student becomes grounded in both the techniques and theory to be a good engineer. Rather, it can lead to student burnout, causing them to waste significant amounts of tuition moneys in a degree program that becomes unused. Faculty Accessibility - Ultimately, faculty interaction is why students attend colleges and universities. Otherwise, a student c
