RPI has a Quantum computer (courtesy of IBM) - the only university to have one I believe - and is a highly respected engineering research university, so that likely played a part in Albany getting this.
I find it surprising that Intel didn't help fund the establishment of a world class research university in Portland, or an OSU or OU satellite focused on engineering.
- osnium123 2y agoThere was something called the Oregon Graduate Institute that the founders of Tektronix helped establish. The issue with Intel is that their management is not in Oregon for the most part so they are not invested in the same way as Phil Knight (Nike’s founder) is. Intel has also historically relied on importing talent from outside Oregon so the lack of a world class research university in the Portland metro area has not hurt Intel too much. I am sure that they regret not having such an institution now though.

- insane_dreamer 2y agoAbsolutely! Great medical school. I was thinking engineering - should have specified that.
