Is it in the Top 5? Is it above Auburn and Alabama?

Also, would I be correct in assuming Texas A&M and Vanderbilt are the top engineering programs in the conference?

At one point I googled this and LSU was in the top 10 nationally in PE. A&M was ranked higher. Don't remember what other SEC schools were listed.

After Vandy, A&M, Florida are higher I'd imagine -- although not everyone offers PETE. UGA might be up there too.

Some engineering programs within LSUs college of engineering are a lot better than others (at least according to their national rank) but I'd definitely say its top5. A&M is hands down #1, Florida and Auburn both have good engineering schools followed closely by LSU.

it varies by program. For example, currently, LSU's Construction Management and PETE programs are the best in the SEC (PETE best in the country), but computer science lags behind ULL. Vanderbilt leads the way in most engineering disciplines, but I know LSU's Chemical Engineering program is up there. Overall, I could be mistaken, but I think LSU's engineering program as a whole is top 5 in the SEC with Vanderbilt and Texas A&M for sure, but I don't know who else rounds out the top 5 (probably Auburn and Florida).

this will break my cousin's heart. He swears ULL's program is the best in the nation because of what one of his professors told him.

Depends where you want to live. AU is only behind GT in terms of quality of education and alumi base within the southeast. TAMU/LSU for LA, off shore area.

In general, I'd say top 3-4

I agree with this. Computer science Electrical Engineering in VLSI/semiconductors is not good at LSU...funny because that is my field, but I can admit..its not that good.

but the foosball and the chicks were always top notch!
