Still do.

Perhaps in reality, but not in perception... at least by the US News & World Report and all of its readers.

"* Best Undergraduate Engineering Program". Read the article.

I did, we are considered amongst the best. Thats good. You said we still have the better program compared to VCU... that is not true according to US News. They are ranked higher numerically at 116 while ODU is 146. We are both considered among the best.
They are higher rated than us. They are also bringing in FAR more research $ and they are winning many more research proposals. Their professors are much more engaged and highly regarded by their Peers. Also, their Dean is a leader in the technical Engineering community not Engineering Education community. She came from Georgia Tech and is very proactive in ensuring VCU is working on new challenging problems, offering the newest and SOA relevant course offerings, and providing experiential learning opportunities for their students. We have a lot of rebuilding to do. Right now ODU seems more interested in focusing on Diversity of their engineering student body vs growing the academic and quality of professors, research, and course offerings.
