here's a class they teach at Berkeley, (apparently recently)- this is the kind of class that differentiates the really excellent engineering institutions from the average ones imho. CS252: Design Challenges in Multi-GHz GHz Microprocessors Bill Herrick Director, Alpha Microprocessor Development bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu (OK, now somebody here is going to say they have taken this class and that this guy is a bozo! <gg>) The point is that when you attend a university that is closely aligned with industry, as Berkeley is, you receive an excellent combination of theoretical as well as practical instruction from industry folks. Sure, you can go to school at a top university elsewhere in the world and get the same theoretical education but not the practical side, in this sense I think any degree from the right school can be preferable to a PhD from Ivory Tower U. Fwiw.
