The universities that we have referred to their books on Dorado List have been consistently among top universities in terms of ranking. We have used The Times Higher Education World University Rankings to look at the trend of ranking of these world class universities.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harvard | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 6 | 7 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| Caltech | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 6 |
| MIT | 3 | 7 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Stanford | 4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 3 |

| Berkeley | 8 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 13 | 10 | 18 | 15 | 13 | 7 | 8 | 8 |
| UCLA | 11 | 13 | 13 | 12 | 12 | 14 | 14 | 15 | 17 | 17 | 15 | 20 | 21 |
| UofT | 17 | 19 | 21 | 20 | 20 | 19 | 22 | 22 | 21 | 18 | 18 | 18 | 18 |
| USC | 73 | 55 | 56 | 70 | 75 | 68 | 60 | 66 | 66 | 62 | 53 | 63 | 65 |
As it can be seen during the last 13 years 7 of these universities consistently have had ranking of better than 10. So it is obvious that the universities that we have chosen are among the very best universities in the world. As the top universities usually attract top experts as professors, and top professors usually pick best available books, we are confident that list of books that we have gathered for you contain the best available books.
As so far we have mainly concentrated on Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, it is easy to see that out top university picks have very strong Electrical Engineering and Computer Science programs. Many of these top ranking universities already have a number of world-renowned professors. As you also can see from the list of our top experts, many of them are or have been teaching at these top schools or have been graduated from one of these excellent schools.
If we look at the top universities website and choose Electrical and Electronic Engineering, we can see most of the universities that we have picked are still among top universities. For example in 2022 here are the ranking of some of the universities that we have in Dorado List:
| University | Ranking |
|---|---|
| MIT | 1 |
| Stanford | 2 |
| Berkeley | 3 |
| Cambridge | 5 |
| Harvard | 7 |
| Oxford | 9 |
| Caltech | 12 |
| UCLA | 15 |
| UofT | 19 |
| Princeton | 26 |
| USC | 87 |
As you can see from the above table, even just on Electrical and Electronic Engineering our picks rank very high among world universities. In fact top three universities which are MIT, Stanford, and Berkeley, are on our list. So we hope the data is a good explanation of why we have picked these universities to find out what books are being or have been used to teach courses at them.
