02. MIT
03. Stanford
04. Indian Institute of Technology
05. Imperial College London (Yahoo!)
06. Caltech
07. Tokyo University
08. Cambridge

wow.. there is a strong asian presence in the top10 engineering. I still find it hard to accept that National University of Singapore is so highly acclaimed internationally. Berkely is still the best university in the top world.

Hmmm... "science" is a pretty general category.

How do they actually decide which is best?  I just do not get how top universities can actually be ranked.

Haven't you noticed that Asians are in all the supposed top schools like harvard, yale, princeton, etc..

asians are everywhere. i am an asian. i study at imperial college. there are so many asians here - born in and outside britain. All the UCs are renowned for their high asian population as well. you can't dispute the asians for their good grades, arent u?

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

i meant asian by ethnic groups, not nationality.

It gets confusing over here. California is a very diverse state. There is no racial or ethnic majority here.
