Okay, I checked out both profiles of each of the schools. I couldn't find a ranking source, but I did find the profiles on USnews' engineering school profile database. USnews is one of the chief Ranking sources, but online they only show the top schools in specific categories.
Here's the 411:

The one think I noticed is that VT is MORE selective. Usually this means it's ranked higher and harder to get into. They also referred to VCU as a tier 3 school. And VT is 74th overall. I don't know what that means exactly...I think that rating is for gen ed. Try for VT... I think it'll be worth it.
