- Kettering University follows much the same lines as this school, with manufacturing, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics as common ground, and it is also a private institution, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and mba.
- In terms of fields, Wentworth Institute of Technology is the nearest neighbour, with manufacturing, AI and machine learning and software engineering again at the core; it does not run the mba programmes found here and covers civil engineering and data analytics as well.
- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology shares the core fields of this institution, namely mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics and AI and machine learning; it is also a private institution and does not run the mba programmes found here.
- Worcester Polytechnic Institute sits close to this institution on manufacturing, life sciences and AI and machine learning; it is larger, enrolling about 7,200 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is also a private institution.
- California State Polytechnic University, Pomona works in much the same fields, chiefly manufacturing, life sciences and AI and machine learning, and it covers agriculture as well, and is far larger, with about 29,000 students against roughly 3,000 here.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- For a study option in the United Kingdom with a comparable spread of manufacturing, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, University of Strathclyde is the reference point: it also offers doctoral programmes, and is far larger, with about 23,000 students against roughly 3,000 here.
- For manufacturing, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics outside the home country, Turku University of Applied Sciences in Finland is a natural reference; it covers logistics as well, and is far larger, with about 10,000 students against roughly 3,000 here.
- Seen from abroad, Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology (India) is a close relative on subject matter, since manufacturing, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics are central to both, and it is slightly larger, at about 4,000 students against roughly 3,000 here, and is public, whereas this institution is private.
- A foreign alternative with a similar emphasis on mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics and software engineering is Tampere University of Applied Sciences in Finland, and it is public, whereas this school is private, and teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and mba.
- If this school is on your list for manufacturing, mechanical engineering and electrical and electronics, National Institute of Technology Agartala in India deserves a comparison, because it also offers doctoral programmes and covers civil engineering as well.

*: without any judgment of the quality, readers are strongly encouraged to check the official status of the exact diploma envisioned as many universities have a mix of recognized diplomas, not recognized, “co-delivered,” “equivalent to”, “some pathways” (…), can change over time, and can be named differently from one country to another.
**: international reputation: is based on some criteria that do not mean much in some domains or specialties (number of researchers, of scientific publications, on budget ….). Our approximate 1-4 scale:
- known locally
- known locally and internationally
- is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
- is listed among the 20 firsts in some of world university’s classifications
***: estimated numbers, based on online sources and/or feedbacks. The numbers can vary greatly depending on school organisation (ex.: school is part of a group, it employs internal staff or external consultants or has public staff without employing them …).
