<p>Nonsense. Its Berkeley in a landslide. There are only 5 “elite” engineering programs in the US (in order: Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, Caltech, University Illinois/Georgia Tech) and only really 3 super elites: Berkeley, Stanford, MIT. Duke (or Harvard for that matter) arnt in the top 20. Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Oracle, Apple, etc. all take about 12% each of their entire workforce from Berkeley and Stanford (24% total)…with MIT coming in next at about 3%. If you are interested in a tech job, you are doing yourself a disservice by going to Duke. The only reason to go to Duke (or any of the Ivy’s for that matter) is if you want a job in finance on the east coast. I work in the tech industry, and my entire family has graduated from either Berkeley, Stanford, or Harvard so it really does matter what you want as a career, which school to go to…</p>
