Caltech?
1 comments

If I remember correctly Caltech is in the quality over quantity group as well. Something like 100 - 150 graduates per year.

Here is some data:

CHIPPING AWAY ASSESSING AND ADDRESSING THE LABOR MARKET GAP FACING THE U.S. SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY https://www.semiconductors.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/SI...

>67,000, or 58%, of new jobs across manufacturing and design will risk going unfilled by 2030.

Another nugget from Fig 6: More than half of the MS graduates in semiconductor-related engineering fields are foreign and 80% of foreign Master’s leave the U.S.

People in the US keep asking "Should I go to college?" and "Who needs calculus?"
