Overall the engineering schools dominated the rankings and Princeton University was the only Ivy League school to place in the top 10.
Edward Stukane, vice president of communications and marketing at Stevens, said a majority of the college’s students get job offers as seniors, and many are weighing two or more prospects.
“These companies have learned that when (they hire our graduates) they get employees who are ready to contribute day one,” he said. “There were 350 companies that came to our campus last year to meet with our graduating class, and more than 1,000 companies hired last year’s graduates. That shows a real demand.
“And that’s across the board, not just engineering; demand for our business school and our college of arts and letters students continues to grow as well.”
