- Hey everybody and welcome back to Crimson Education,
my name is Gus and today we're gonna be talking about
the top six Electrical Engineering Programs in the world.
Now electrical engineering for those of you who don't know
is engineering, electricity, and they kinda go like this,
and now you got an electrical engineer
and basically they use electricity to engineer things
and they engineer things for electricity.
I feel like that's obvious.

Now these rankings are based off of the QS rankings.
These are based off of factors such as
academic productivity, employer reputation
and the H index so, these rankings are far from
all encompassing but they're really good.
So that's why we use them.
Of course, as we all know,
rankings are only a part of the reason
that you should choose to go to a particular school.
There's a whole bunch of other factors
that are out there and are important for that.
So if you are interested in starting your journey
on choosing your electrical engineering school,
I highly recommend that you click the link
in the description below
and you will be connected with one
of Crimson's Academic experts
and they can give you a free consultation
to help you think about which school
is right for you and how to get there.
Number six in our list of electrical engineering schools
is Nanyang Technological University also known as NTU.
This is in Singapore.
NTU offers two big options for students
interested in studying electrical engineering.
One is a four years bachelor program
that results in a degree in electrical engineering,
the other is a five year program that incorporates economics
as well as electrical engineering.
NTU also offers specialists for topics
such as intelligence systems, biomedical engineering,
data intelligence and many more.
There are about 33,000 students at NTU,
so it's not a small place,
but they do have great electrical engineering.
Number five in our list is the University
of Cambridge located in the United Kingdom.
Cambridge's Program is fairly broad
for the first two years for electrical engineering students,
they get a broad foundation and electrical sciences
and from there they specialize in their third year.
There are several research groups
that students tend to gravitate towards.
These include the solid state electronics
and nanoscale science group,
the electrical power and energy conversion group,
the center for advanced photonics
and electronics also known as CAPE
and the bioelectronics laboratory.
Let me tell you, if I was a betting man,
I wouldn't want these different groups to fight each other.
They sound too intense for that.
Number four on our list is UC Berkeley
located in Berkeley California.
In addition to being right next to Silicon Valley,
UC Berkeley offers students interested
in electrical engineering the opportunity
to take the same coursework
as students interest in computer science.
As a matter of fact, computer science
and electrical engineering students
have to take the same coursework their first two years,
and they get to specialize after that.
One of the more famous electrical engineering programs
at UC Berkeley is the MET Program.
Also known as the Management Entrepreneurship
and Technology Program.
This program allows you to get two bachelor degrees
within just four years.
Number three on our list is ETH Zurich.
One of the two Federal Institutes
of Technology in Switzerland.
ETH Zurich is famous for its 17 distinct
research laboratories, all housed within the department
of information technology and electrical engineering.
ETH Zurich offers students the ability
to study electrical engineering at the bachelor's
and master's level in an interdisciplinary style.
Number two on our list is Stanford University
located in Palo Alto California.
Stanford's Electrical Engineering Department
is really diverse in the offerings
that they give to students.
You can get a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering,
but you can also combine it with master's degrees
in law or business or finance.
Stanford's Electrical Engineering Department
offers students the ability to prepare
for careers in public service,
as well as private sector jobs.
And because it's close to so many tech companies
in the Palo Alto and Bay Areas,
most students have an easy time
finding electrical engineering jobs, I would assume.
And the number one Electrical Engineering School
in our list is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
also known as MIT, located in Cambridge Massachusetts.
MIT's Electrical Engineering Department
is the largest department within the school of engineering
with over 700 graduate students within it.
Just today you probably used inventions
that were created by alumni of the Electrical
Engineering Department at MIT,
such as the World Wide Web
or a digital TV or an MRI scanner.
It's probably more likely that you've used
the first two than the third.

So those are the top six Electrical Engineering Programs
in the world, according to QS.
Of course, there's a lot more besides the QS rankings
that go into deciding which school you should go to.
So if you're ready to begin your academic journey,
click on the link in the description below,
and you'll get paired up with one of our academic experts
for a free consultation and you can get some guidance
on which school is right for you.
Again, I'm Gus with Crimson Education
and we'll see you next time.
Thanks for watching.
