PSU's Electrical Engineering -- 9th??PSU's Electrical Engineering program was ranked ninth in the nation by the latest US World News and Reports. How did that happen? I've been through the ECE program, and I know it can't be on par with MIT or Stanford (which also ranked in the top ten). There are a few really good teachers, but the whole department needs a good shake-up and a new Computer Engineering curriculum. I fear the ranking will cause the department to stagnate. Of course, someone majoring in Electrical Engineering may have a different opinion.

Sadly
Turns out US News screwed up. They've now published a retraction. We apparently got CMU's spot by mistake.
My undergrad alma mater, Reed, explicitly disclaims any participation in these rankfests. They object, apparently rightly, that it's all a bunch of irresponsible, poorly-controlled baloney.
I wish PSU would follow Reed's example.
Theory on how it may have happened
Might it have something to do with all the generous financial contributions from Maseeh? Maybe even indirectly.
