How we determined the best computer engineering colleges
We looked at the following data from the NCES (National Center For Education Statistics) and College Scorecard data from ED.gov to understand what computer engineering departments offer the best career opportunities:
- Percentage of Graduating Class That Are Business Majors
- Mean Earnings After 10 Years
- Mean Earnings After 6 Years
- Admission Rate (More selective the better)
- Average cost of attendance (Lower is better)
- Median amount of debt
- Ratio of people working to not working after 10 years
