If you want to get the very best education in engineering and technology, you should probably go to the US. The States dominate the scene, with the top five technology universities in the world being located there (three of which are in California).

UK takes the second place, with three of the top ten technology universities.

The number one on the dream-university list of 2011/2012 is the California Institute of Technology. Founded in 1891, it's campus stretches over 125 acres. 31 California Institute alumni have won the Nobel Prize, and 66 have won The National Medal of Technology.

A well-known university, and Caltech's long-standing rival: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shares the first place with their competitor. Founded in 1861, this university is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It's an university with a very high amount of research activity, and hundreds of millions of dollars are being invested in it's researches annually by NASA, the Department of Defense, and the National Science Foundation, to name a few.

Princeton University  is the number three on the list. Located in New Jersey and founded in 1746, this university is known for it's very low admission rate (roughly 7%), even when compared to it's very selective rivals. It is one of the wealthiest universities in the world, with an endowment of over 17 billion dollars. Whoa.
