The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2018 engineering and technology subject ranking includes a wide range of narrower subject areas.
The list of subjects used to create this ranking is:
- General engineering
- Electrical and electronic engineering
- Mechanical and aerospace engineering
- Civil engineering
- Chemical engineering
Different weights and measures
The subject tables employ the same range of 13 performance indicators used in the overall World University Rankings 2018, brought together with scores provided under five categories.
However, the overall methodology is carefully recalibrated for each subject, with the weightings changed to suit the individual fields.
The weightings for the engineering and technology ranking are:
- Teaching: the learning environment
30.0 per cent
- Research: volume, income and reputation
30.0 per cent
- Citations: research influence
27.5 per cent
- International outlook: staff, students and research
7.5 per cent
- Industry income: innovation
5.0 per cent

Criteria
No institution can be included in the overall World University Rankings unless it has published a minimum of 1,000 research papers over the five years we examine.
For the 11 subject tables, the thresholds are set differently. For engineering and technology, the threshold drops to 500 papers published in this discipline over the last five years. And we expect an institution to have at least 4 per cent of its staff working in this discipline in order to include it in the subject table.

World University Rankings 2018 by subject: engineering and technology
The 2018 Times Higher Education World University Rankings’ table for engineering and technology subjects employs the same rigorous and balanced range of 13 performance indicators used in the overall World University Rankings, but the methodology has been recalibrated to suit the individual fields.
It highlights the universities that are leading across electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical andgeneral engineering subjects.
This year’s ranking has expanded to include 500 institutions, up from 100 last year, while the threshold for the proportion of staff working in the relevant disciplines has decreased.
Universities in Asia are among the stand-out performers in this year’s table. China’s Peking University makes the top 10 for the first time in the eight-year history of the table, after climbing five places to seventh, becoming Asia’s number one university for engineer and technology subjects. The National University of Singapore is one behind at eighth.
Overall a staggering 132 universities in Asia make the top 500, meaning that the continent now has more world-class institutions for engineering and technology than North America (127).
But the table is still led by universities in the US: Stanford University is number one, while its neighbour the California Institute of Technology is second
