Congratulations to everyone in our Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department here at UC San Diego. We just ranked #4 in the USA and #8 in the world. This mechanical engineering ranking is from the 2021 Global Ranking of Academic Subjects from Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) from ShanghaiRanking.
This ranking reflects the world-class excellence and real-world impact of the research we pursue everyday. This ranking also reflects the fact that our entire community of students, staff and faculty knows how to work together toward common goals in education, research, and the transfer of innovations to society.
