- We want to help young people in making best suiting them selection of the field of study in technical disciplines, most needed for the economy and providing good prospects of employment and earnings - says Waldemar Siwiński, President of the Perspektywy Education Foundation, the author of the Engineering Studies Ranking.
The ranking methodology, the criteria and their weights, were prepared by the Ranking Board, chaired by Prof. Michał Kleiber. On the Board are both experts in the field of higher education representatives of the industry.
The Perspektywy Engineering Studies Ranking 2018 evaluates the following fields of study: Automation and Robotics, Architecture and Urban Planning, Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, Chemical and Proces Engineering, Chemical Technology, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrotechnics, Electronics and Telecommunication, Environmental Engineering, Geodesy and Cartography, Logistics, Management and Production Engineering, Material Science, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mining and Geology, Power Engineering, Technical Physics and Transport.
The indicators have been grouped into six criteria:
Prestige (peer review survey of faculty staff);
Alumni position on the job market – (measured by the "Alumni’s Economic Situation" study conducted by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education);
Academic potential – (parametric evaluation of by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education),
Rights to confer academic degrees,
Degrees awarded;
Scientific Eficiency – (publications, citations, Field-Weighted Citation Impact);
Teaching- (quality the admitted students, availability of highly qualified academic staff, accreditations;
Innovation - patents and protective rights.
In the 2018 ranking edition, four technology universities had the largest number of faculties in the top three of each 21 ranked disciplines of technical studies. These were: Warsaw University of Technology (10 faculties in 1st place, seven in– 2nd place and four in 3rd place). AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow respectively: 8-7-2, Silesian University of Technology 2-1-2 and Wroclaw University of Science and Technology 1-4-5. Other universities with faculties with great results were: the Gdańsk University of Technology, Lodz University of Technology and Poznan University of Technology. Good showing in the Ranking were also faculties of the Military University of Technology, Cracow University of Technology, West Pomeranian University of Technology, and Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.
