In the recently released 2023 U.S. News & World Report Best College Rankings, the Texas A&M University College of Engineering’s undergraduate engineering program ranked seventh among public engineering schools offering a doctorate and 13th overall, up two spots from last year.
In addition to the college, four engineering departments moved up in the public school rankings. The Wm Michael Barnes ’64 Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering jumped to No. 8, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering was No. 11, the Department of Biomedical Engineering was No. 12 and the computer science program within the Department of Computer Science and Engineering was No. 23.
“Our goal always has been and always will be to provide our students with the best education experience possible. Seeing that work recognized on a national level is rewarding,” said Dr. John E. Hurtado, interim vice chancellor and dean of the College of Engineering. “We are constantly reassessing our college’s offerings to make sure we are providing the best engineering instruction we can.”
In addition to industrial and systems engineering, six departments from the College of Engineering were ranked in the top 10 of public institutions. These are the Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering (2), the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering (4), which is part of both the College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M, the Department of Aerospace Engineering (6), the J. Mike Walker ’66 Department of Mechanical Engineering (7), the Zachry Department of Civil Engineering (7) and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (8).
Computer engineering (11), which falls within both the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering (12) were also ranked within the top 20 of public universities. Texas A&M also received a ranking of 20 overall and 11 among public universities in undergraduate computer science programs for cybersecurity.
