QS Subject 2026 Engineering & Technology
QS treats this as a broad area that covers computer science and several engineering fields. MIT scores 100 on academic reputation, 99 on employer reputation, 93.5 on H-index, 93.4 on citations per paper, and 74.9 on the international research network. The rest of the top 10 are Oxford, Cambridge, Berkeley, Imperial, NUS, Harvard and NTU. Tsinghua is 11th at 88.5. The live page lists Politecnico di Milano alone at =20 (84.1) and then jumps to Peking University at 22 (83.6); rank 21 is missing on the official table, so this list does not invent one. Ties follow the site: SNU and UCL share 24 at 82.7; Institut Polytechnique de Paris and UBC share 29 at 81.9. The numbers are copied from the live QS page and are not blended with THE.
