<p>Note that four of Apple’s top 5 are local to its headquarters (SJSU, Stanford, Berkeley, SCU). The fifth (UT Austin) is local to an operations center that they are expanding.</p>
<p>Also, if you want to look into other areas of engineering, note that some of the Ivy League schools like Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth have rather limited offerings of engineering majors compared to many other schools. Dartmouth engineering is also a 4.3 to 5 year program for the ABET accredited major.</p>
