The UD mechanical engineering department has been ranked fifth in High Impact U.S. Universities, 1993-97, by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) in its University Science Indicators database <http://www.isinet.
com/hot/research>.
The ranking is based on the average citations per paper in mechanical engineering, among the top 100 federally funded U.S. universities that published at least 100 papers a year in ISI-indexed, mechanical engineering journals, between 1993-1997.
UD had published 110 papers with 2.68 citations per paper.
The top four were Brown and Stanford universities, California Institute of Technology and Cornell University.
According to chairperson Suresh Advani, "One measure of the quality and importance of engineering research at a university is not the number of articles published, but the number of citations or references to papers made by other engineers and researchers. To be ranked fifth in the nation is an indication of the high quality of research and scholarship carried out in mechanical engineering at UD. We are pleased with this recognition of the work being done by our faculty."
