Harvard and Stanford may jump to mind when it comes to tech titans. Microsoft's Bill Gates and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg chose the former, and Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin flocked to the latter. But for the next generation of entrepreneur, we may need to look outside the Ivy League. (Steve Jobs, of course, attended Reed College, but didn't graduate.)

The following list considered a variety of criteria, including ranking, research facilities, important technological discoveries, notable faculty and alumni, cost and relationships with the private sector. Is your school one of them?

1. University of Texas at Austin
2. University of Toronto
3. Rochester Institute of Technology
4. Georgia Institute of Technology
5. Delft University of Technology
6. Imperial College London
7. Worcester Polytechnic Institute
8. Technion-Israel Institute of Technology
9. Montana State University
10. University of California, Berkeley
11. University of Melbourne
