It has been 10 years since the three main ranking organizations, ShanghaiJiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), TimesHigher Education (THE) and QS World University Rankings (QS), beganpublishing global rankings specific to engineering, with National TaiwanUniversity Performance Ranking of Engineering Papers (NTU; formerlyHEEACT) joining them in 2008. The dramatic displacement of U.S.schools by Asian institutions at the top level of the most recent ARWU isanother reminder that engineering schools of global stature operate in anenvironment that is increasingly international and competitive.Within that context, it is particularly significant that this year, for thefirst time, U of T is the only Canadian university to appear within thetop 50 across all four of the major global rankings for Engineering. Ouroutstanding rankings facilitate international visibility that enhancesour ability to attract students, faculty and industry collaborators, andstrengthens our position as a leader in engineering education and research.This year, the ARWU has added subject-level ranking in engineeringfields, joining those that have been provided by both QS and NTU for thepast seven years. While each organization’s assessments are unique, andoften distinct from the others, overall U of T continues to rank numberone in Canada across all international engineering rankings and amongthe top 10 North American public institutions across most subjects.Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering Annual Report 2017 Chapter 6: World Recognition by Rankings 79World Recognition by Rankings6While rankings are only one of many measures of our Faculty’s excellence,they illustrate our pre-eminence across diverse engineering fields, andthey are widely cited as a key factor students and faculty consider whenselecting U of T Engineering.

Afterdramatic changes at the top of the rankings,U of T is now the only Canadian schoolremaining in the top 50.Among North American public universities,our closest peer institutions, U of T ranked14th. We lead all Canadian schools in highlycited research and articles in top journals,two of the three indicators that constitute theARWU’s evaluation methodology.The ARWU is the longest running of the globalrankings. It has provided overall rankingssince 2003 and engineering field rankingssince 2007. For much of the past decade, U.S.schools dominated the top 10 engineeringschool rankings. In 2016, five of those schoolswere displaced by four Asian and one MiddleEastern university that had each climbed, onaverage, 16 places to get there.50The number of North American schools in theARWU top 50 fell from 27 to 21. Two of themheld their positions, including MIT in the topspot. In contrast, the number of Asian schoolsin the top 50 increased from 12 to 16, and allbut one of them rose by an average of 18 places.Middle Eastern schools in the top 50 increasedfrom one to three, collectively climbing byan average of 63 places. Though U of T wasclearly impacted by this overall trend, our rankvariation was close to the average for otherCanadian schools in the top 200 of the ARWU.Figure 6.1aShanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU),Top 50 Universities for Engineering/Technology and Computer Sciences, 2016Data in this chapter include rankings published between August 2016 and July 2017.80 Chapter 6: World Recognition by Rankings Annual Report 2017 Faculty of Applied Science & EngineeringChapter: Ch.6 - RankingsExcel Filename: 6.1a-d - Acad Ranking of World Univ - 2016 - Engineering (AR17 6.1a-d) - v3.xlsxSheet: 6.1a

Canadian Universities in ARWU by Subject, 2016The Shanghai Ranking Consultancy, which produces theARWU, published Global Subject Rankings for engineeringdisciplines for the first time in 2016. These replaced the morelimited range of mainly science-focused subjects that havebeen featured since 2009.The new subject rankings continue the ARWU’s emphasison publications and citations, much like the NTU ranking,and in contrast to the British rankings (THE and QS), whichrely heavily on reputational indicators. Scoring is based onvarious measures, including 50% on citations, 30% on newlyintroduced measures of the extent of co-authorship withinternational and corporate or industrial partners, and 20%on the number of papers authored and international awardswon by each institution.The new rankings, by contrast, use up to seven indicators toevaluate an institution in each subject: PUB – the number of papers indexed in ScopusTOP25 – the number of world top 25% most cited papersTOP1 – the number of world top 1% most cited papersFWCI (Field Weighted Citation Index) – the number ofcitations received by an institution’s publications comparedwith the average number of citations received by all othersimilar publicationsIC – the extent of international co-authorshipCC – the percentage of publications with academic andcorporate or industrial co-authorsMCR – Most Cited ResearchersAWARD – several subjects also assess the number of staffwinning a significant awardU of T dominated the new engineering subject rankingsacross all Canadian institutions, taking the top spot inthree of the subjects. The new subject rankings are basedon a wider range of measures. Figure 6.1d shows a scoringanalysis of the three indicators that have historicallydetermined our standing in the ARWU Engineering ranking:Highly Cited Research (HiCi), Published Articles (PUB)and Articles in Top Journals (TOP).

Once again, U of T Engineering ranked 10th in North America and second in Canada, based on a totalpublication count of 2,657 papers between 2011 and 2015.The AAU index citation counts are based on the total number of papers cited over a five-year period, as well as the frequencyof citations per faculty member and articles. U of T Engineering placed first in Canada and 10th among North Americanpublic institutions in the total number of citations. As in the past two years we ranked third in Canada for citations perfaculty after McGill University and Western University and retained the lead among Canadian universities in the number ofcitations per publication, which is the metric representing the relevance of our publications as cited by other researchers.Figure 6.6a Number of Engineering Citations Indexed by Thomson Reuters for Association ofAmerican Universities (AAU) Public and Canadian Peer Institutions, 2011 to 2015Rank on Citationsper FacultyCitations perPublicationRank on Citationsper PublicationBibliometricsCitationsper FacultyFacultyCountCitationsGeorgia Inst of Tech60,235U California, Berkeley54,668U Illinois, Urbana-Champaign43,045U Michigan42,946U Texas, Austin34,867U California, Los Angeles32,176Purdue U31,391Penn State U30,682U California, Santa Barbara28,703U TorontoTorontoU27,710Texas A&M U, College Station27,055U California, San Diego27,016U WaterlooWaterloo26,970UU Washington24,546U Maryland, College Park23,114Figure 6.6b Summary of U15U Florida22,216for CitationsU Wisconsin, Madison20,856U AlbertaAlbertaU20,768Ohio State U20,098U Minnesota, Twin Cities19,958McGill U17,703McGillBritish ColumbiaColumbia17,182UUBritishU Colorado, Boulder16,618U California, Davis15,872U MontréalMontréal14,390UU Toronto27,710246Rutgers State U13,561Iowa State U12,639U Waterloo26,970288Western U12,619WesternMichigan State U12,526U Alberta20,768195U Pittsburgh12,323McGill U17,703143McMaster U10,755McMasterU California, Irvine10,521U British Columbia17,182186U CalgaryCalgary10,079UU Arizona9,439U Montréal14,390255U OttawaOttawa8,056UWestern U12,61996Queens U7,996Queen'sU Virginia7,957McMaster U10,755150SUNY, Buffalo7,848LavalU7,691ULavalU Calgary10,079157Saskatchewan6,939UUSaskatchewanU Ottawa8,056124U North Carolina, Chapel Hill6,898SUNY, Stony Brook5,915Queen’s U7,996129U ManitobaManitoba 5,075UDalhousie U 4,573DalhousieLaval U7,691162U Missouri, Columbia 4,503U Saskatchewan6,93988U Iowa 4,452U Kansas3,186U Manitoba5,07583U California, San Francisco1,934Indiana U, Bloomington1,648Dalhousie U4,57397U 1547.1157.313Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering Annual Report 2017 Chapter 6: World Recognition by Rankings 91Figure 6.6a6.6bNumber of Engineering Citations Indexed by Thomson FigureReuters
Summary of Ranking ResultsIn 2016, U of T Engineering remained the top Canadian university, and the only Canadian institution within the global top50, across all the rankings. Among North American public universities, we ranked in the top 10 in three of the four rankingsystems. Although no ranking can decisively illustrate a school’s performance, our high rankings enhance our ability toattract top faculty, researchers and students from around the world.Figure 6.7 S ummary of University of Toronto Engineering Performance in World RankingsRelease DateCanadaNorthAmericanPublicWorldAcademic Ranking of World Universities for Engineering (ARWU) forEngineering / Technology and Computer SciencesAugust 201611450ARWU Scoring Detail by CategoryAugust 2016 Highly Cited (HiCi)11546 Publications (PUB)2967 Publications in Top Journals (TOP)1175711039Ranking OrganizationARWU Subject Ranking [New for 2016]June 2016 Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering31681 Electrical & Electronic Engineering11027 Energy Science & Engineering933162 Environmental Science & Engineering21025 Materials Science & Engineering11042 Mechanical Engineering42274September 20161931QS World University Rankings for Engineering and TechnologyMarch 2
rankings. It has provided overall rankings since 2003 and engineering field rankings since 2007. For much of the past decade, U.S. schools dominated the top 10 engineering school rankings. In 2016, five of those schools were displaced by four Asian and one Middle Eastern university that had each climbed, on average, 16 places to get there.
