Dumb question, how come Harvard never comes up on these lists? Is it because they aren't involved in this particular field?

Harvard appears to have ceded national prominence in tech fields such as general computer science, the computer science subfield of AI and engineering to nearby MIT. For Ivies notably strong in one or more of these fields, consider Cornell, Columbia and Princeton.


What's at Brown, Dartmouth and Yale?

For a student interested in computer science, Brown, in particular, could make a good addition to a college list. Contradicting myself to an extent, I would recommend Harvard as a good choice for engineering at this time. As an opinion, however, the general attributes of any potential undergraduate college choice should be considered before those of departmental attributes. For undergraduates, then, Dartmouth and Yale may represent perfectly fine choices for students interested in some tech-oriented majors. As examples from among purely undergraduate-focused colleges, look into Hamilton for its planned "best-in-class" computer science facility, which is now under construction, and Harvey Mudd, which offers excellent programs across tech-oriented fields.
