I'm curious about what people consider is the best ChemE school. What schools do employers like to see applicants come from? This list excludes MIT, Cal Tech and other premier schools that are already rather obvious.
Thanks for all suggestions.

Why did you pick this school? Was it from personal experience?

Well, I did my undergrad in Civil Engineering at another university. Currently, I am doing my grad studies there at the Civil Eng Department. The university so far is great. Lots of smart people and well prepared faculty. They are nice and willing to help you learn.
The Chemical Engineering department at UMN is well known. You should definitely check it out.

The University of Akron.
It's a small school, it's worth checking out.
It's currently the school I'm attending for Chem.E. and they're proficient and are ranked as high as well as higher than some schools such as MIT, polymers being one of such the cases of where they are ranked either 1st or 2nd.

Yup, UA is pretty strong in research. I think it's polymer eng. is 2nd in the nation. Definitely worth a look!

Michigan Tech has a good Chem Eng program. It works very closely with a lot of chemical companies so you get real world experience too.

When my sister was looking at schools for ChemE, one of the better was the University of Virginia.
