Engineering and technology are one of the study programs that are the target of students from various parts of the world. They are even willing to migrate to other countries in order to get the best technical education.

To help students and college students to choose higher education institutions in foreign countries, Times Higher Education (THE) magazine has ranked the top 100 universities in engineering and technology study programs for the 2014/2015 period. In the ranking, the United States’ Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is in first place.

Not only in first place, the campus from Uncle Sam also dominated the rankings up to 20. However, the National University of Singapore (NUS) managed to get into 13th place.

THE ranking of the 100 best universities in engineering and technology study programs has 13 indicators. The 13 indicators are divided into five areas, namely teaching, research, citations, input from the industry, and international insight.

Teaching includes a learning environment with a portion of 30 percent. Research is seen in terms of number, income, and reputation by 30 percent. Then, the influence of the research as measured by the number of citations with a portion of 30 percent and input from industry weighs 2.5 percent. The remaining 7.5 percent came from international insights from the staff, students, and researchers at each university.
