I second WPI. Few people outside of this area know about it. It's a cool place.
My DH runs a division of a large software company; he is the "business" person, who is in charge of 250+ engineers all over the world. He has a difficult time recruiting women, as the people in his division have to travel frequently. He has hired few couples, though, as a "package."
Several of these engineers went to Michigan Tech, a school I never heard of before. Also, VA Tech, and Carnegie Mellon. But really, they went to all kinds of schools, including many overseas.
