Tulane likes to brag it's a member of the American Association of Universities. If you believe Tulane, all the best universities are members. Here's what I uncovered:
Here's the list of members of the American Association of Universities, their Engineering/Computer Science component. Be sure to check the statistics at the bottom.
Brandeis University (1985) - Has CompSci, no engineering
Brown University (1933) - Has CompSci and a fairly large engineering program
California Institute of Technology (1934) - Hmm, what do you think?
Carnegie Mellon University (1982) - Engineering and CompSci
Case Western Reserve University (1969) - Engineering and CompSci
Columbia University (1900) - Engineering and CompSci
Cornell University (1900) - Engineering and CompSci
Duke University (1938) - Engineering and CompSci
Emory University (1995) - Computer Science only
Harvard University (1900) - Computer Science and some engineering [I did not know they had an engineering program, but they do]
Indiana University (1909) - Engineering and CompSci
Iowa State University (1958) - Engineering and CompSci
The Johns Hopkins University (1900) - Engineering and CompSci
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1934) - Duh...
McGill University (1926) - Engineering and CompSci
Michigan State University (1964) - Engineering and CompSci
New York University (1950) - Engineering and CompSci
Northwestern University (1917) - Engineering and CompSci
The Ohio State University (1916) - Engineering and CompSci
The Pennsylvania State University (1958) - Engineering and CompSci
Princeton University (1900) - Engineering and CompSci
Purdue University (1958) - Engineering and CompSci (The Boilermakers!)
Rice University (1985) - Engineering and CompSci
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (1989) - Engineering and CompSci
Stanford University (1900) - Engineering and CompSci
Stony Brook University-State University of New York (2001) - Engineering and CompSci
Syracuse University (1966) - Engineering and CompSci
Texas A&M University (2001) - Engineering and CompSci
Tulane University (1958) - ?????????????????????
The University of Arizona (1985) - Engineering and CompSci
University at Buffalo, The State University of New York (1989) - Engineering and CompSci
University of California, Berkeley (1900) - Engineering and CompSci
University of California, Davis (1996) - Engineering and CompSci
University of California, Irvine (1996) - Engineering and CompSci
University of California, Los Angeles (1974) - Engineering and CompSci
University of California, San Diego (1982) - Engineering and CompSci
University of California, Santa Barbara (1995) - Engineering and CompSci
The University of Chicago (1900) - CompSci only
University of Colorado at Boulder (1966) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Florida (1985) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (1908) - Engineering and CompSci
The University of Iowa (1909) - Engineering and CompSci
The University of Kansas (1909) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Maryland, College Park (1969) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Michigan (1900) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (1908) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Missouri-Columbia (1908) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Nebraska-Lincoln (1909) - Engineering and CompSci
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (1922) – Some Engineering and CompSci
University of Oregon (1969) – Computer Science, Offers engineering in partnership with Oregon State (sort of like how several Atlanta area schools offer Georgia Tech engineering degrees)
University of Pennsylvania (1900) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Pittsburgh (1974) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Rochester (1941) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Southern California (1969) - Engineering and CompSci
The University of Texas at Austin (1929) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Toronto (1926) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Virginia (1904) - Engineering and CompSci
University of Washington (1950) - Engineering and CompSci
The University of Wisconsin-Madison (1900) - Engineering and CompSci
Vanderbilt University (1950) - Engineering and CompSci (by the way, this is Tulane’s most comparable institution, I believe)
Washington University in St. Louis (1923) - Engineering and CompSci
Yale University (1900) - Engineering and CompSci
There’s the list. Wow, that was a lot of clicking.
While this list include a couple of Tech schools (MIT, Stanford), the overwhelming majority are diverse schools with excellent liberal arts programs AND Engineering/Computer Science.
When I say these schools have an engineering program, I mean they have a full slate (at least EE, ME, and Civil). There are the occasional exceptions (Harvard, UNC Chapel Hill), which have generalized “engineering science” type programs. One had a coordinate program with another school. No school has a very specialized engineering major without the bread and butter engineering departments to back them up.
Statistics:
Out of 61 Schools (Tulane is 62):
100% of schools have a Computer Science department.
91.8% of schools have both a full slate of engineering and computer science (If you throw in the number of schools with “engineering science” programs, the percentage is even higher)
After doing this research, I can only conclude that someone in the administration was smoking something when they decided on these cuts! _________________ Clay Kirby
