Irwin and Joan Jacobs (the ones who the Jacobs School of Engineering is named AFTER) are also the founders and owners of QUALCOMM, which is based in San Diego, and have been known to recruit many of the top graduates in any and all of the engineering majors, many times for very generous salaries. If you parse through the Jr. Engineer payroll, a large proportion is comprised of UCSD graduates.
