An institution’s program specfic score is calculated with seven data points: (1) its student-to-faculty ratio, (2) its the graduation rate, (3) its retention rate, (4) its percentage of online students, (5) its concentrated Influence (a measure of the academic importance of a school), (6) its desirability (a measure of how many students chose to go to an institution), and (7) its exclusivity (a measure of how selective the insitutionis).
For each data point, we score schools based on where they fall compared to the other institutions on our site. Because our scores are based only on institutions with engineering programs and not tied to institutions without these programs, they accurately reflect an institutions’s value to the engineering student. Institutions with missing data receive a zero for that data point.
We weigh each data point and calculate an institution’s raw score. Then we create an adjusted raw score by combining a schools's score with a base score of 50. Finally, we score and rank institutions based on their adjusted score’s comparison to the top scoring institution.

Focused on online engineering colleges, our relative cost score compares the average in-state tuitions of institutions with online engineering programs.
Schools that offer a tuition guarantee promise students a fixed tuition rate for a portion of, or the entirety of, their education. This may or may not include fees and other costs.
Schools that offer a tuition pre-payment plan allow students to pay for future credits, semesters, or years of tuition at present-day prices and then use these credits, semesters, or years at a later date.
Schools that offer a tuition payment plan offer students the option to pay for their education in installments instead of a lump sum.
