UCB and UM are top 5 schools for this, with maybe MIT sitting above them because of Lincoln Lab. UCB literally invented RISCV (among a million other fundamental CS and CE technologies). They are not representative of the typical state school or even well funded private schools. I'm at NYU Tandon and they are a decade behind on most stuff, the single VLSI course is an elective even for ECEs. I work with students from state schools all across the country, and the most common reaction I get with rising seniors coming from EE and ECE programs is "I have never seen any of this stuff before". What I'm trying to say is: I've yet to meet an ECE senior who couldn't write Hello World in C or perform linear DC analysis, but it's surprisingly rare to find one who can layout a ring oscillator.
