Pardon me if this is the wrong place to ask this, but...

	Q: What graduate programs (what schools) have programs in
software engineering/CS/CIS that would leave one with a solid
grounding in engineering (<-- verb) software?  Boulder, Irvine, and
CMU come to my mind.  Any others (state schools?)?  My undergraduate
work was in optical engineering, but my interests have led me to
software engineering.  I am particularly interested in
languages/environments that increase productivity/decrease
bugs/increase maintainability, etc. And particularly, why do the
benefits occur? (And a bunch of other questions...)  
	Anyway, if anyone can give me pointers as to who is doing
valuable work in this area, or perhaps what a decent education/career
track would be to educate/train myself in my area of interest (its
somewhat of a career change), I would greatly appreciate it.
