I'm a recent alumnus of the UW Architecture program. I know the faculty there are pushing hard to incorporate emerging technologies into the core undergrad curriculum and many of the graduate students there are doing really interesting work in computational design and UX.

Additionally I can't say enough good things about the co-op program. While I was there every single one of my classmates got a placement every term at a firm within our industry. The economy was better then, but most of us had our pick when choosing what city we wanted to work in abroad. And this is on top of the compulsory term at the school's Rome studio in 4th year.

Some of my classmates have gone on this year to create non-tech start-ups of their own, such as Our Paper Life (http://ourpaperlife.com/) here in Toronto and Factory Five (http://www.wearefactoryfive.com/) in Shanghai.

I wouldn't trade the education and the diversity of my experience there for anything.
