There's no substitute for having a in depth knowledge about the star faculty in your area of interest. However, if you're interested in some broader measures for graduate programs you are interested in, take a look at the following sources.  

1) The NSF publishes survey each year detailing how much money is spent at various universities and what departments (NSF HERD). (Engineering breakdown).

2) ASEE is has a lot of in depth information about funding by department, stipends, and admissions statistics.
