How the list is prepared?
The list prepared by Times Higher Education features 1,306 universities across more than 70 countries.
The ranking uses the same methodology as the THE World University Rankings, i.e. the rankings are based on analysis of publications and surveys and the data on institutional income and faculty demographics, including international talent recruitment and research collaboration, World Economic Forum has cited. However, for this particular list, a higher weighting for innovation and a lower weighting for citations.
Most students enrol on a degree for a specific discipline within engineering. Common specialisations include civil engineering, electrical engineering and chemical engineering.
