The engineering and technology table is dominated not just by a single country, the US, but by a single state in that country — California.
Three of the top five in the table are from the Golden State, home to the global centre for high-technology business, Silicon Valley. The California Institute of Technology is in first place; Stanford University is third; and the University of California, Berkeley is fifth.
