To help you arm yourself with the information you need to make your decision, Course Advisor has developed this Best Value Engineering-Related Technologies Schools in the Rocky Mountains Region ranking. Our analysis looked at 3 schools in the Rocky Mountains Region to see which programs offered the best value experiences for engineering-related tech students with the aim of identifying those quality schools that are more affordable than some of their counterparts.

This ranking is not just a list of inexpensive schools. We also consider each school's quality, since we believe a low-quality school may not be a 'bargain' at any price. More specifically, we discount our quality score by the published tuition and fees charged by a school. This gives the cost per unit of quality for each college. The value is determined by how much quality your dollar buys.

For nationwide and regional rankings, we use out-of-state tuition and fees in our calculations. Average in-state tuition and fees are used for our statewide rankings.
