If $, GPA, & travel are not an issue, what are the top Undergrad & Grad schools for a BS in Electrical Engineering/ masters in Acoustics going on to work in the defense industry?

Thanks for your help

I saw this post earlier and could not help out but saw a poster for the National Defense Science and Engineering Program while at school today and thought about your question. Although not exactly what you were looking for this may have a few leads you could look into. They also may have universities that they work with.

Hope something there turns out to be useful in your search.
 
MIT & Caltech.
