Even the U.S. News premium service (which you would pay for) does not appear to give you this level of granularity. For really specific breakdowns, like AI, Nanotechnology, etc., you may need to find trade publications that have looked for this. For example, a while back Small Times magazine had an article on universities that teach nanotechnology. They concluded that the University at Albany (State University of New York) had the best program, by their criteria. Another strategy is to work backwards -- go to the web sites of top univerisities and see what they say about their programs. If they have been ranked highly in some survey, they are likely to highlight that survey on their program web site. As I am a Georgia Tech graduate student, and I can tell you that they within electrical engineering they have a really strong course lineup in DSP. You are right.

They are one of the best research schools out there. In fact they won't admit you unless you apply for a Ph.D. You can always bail and go for a Master's instead. That's how serious they are about their grad students. They are big in nano technology research and robotics. I have taken several classes in robotics here and they are all rigorous. I think UCSB ranks like number 17 in terms of engineering research. I used to be a computer engineering major here but it was too hard so I switched out to mechanical engineering, where I studied robotics as well. The school is so good at independent research that several graduates end up starting their own research companies nearby. I even interned at a nearby nanotech firm. try University of California, Santa Barbara. They are one of the best research schools out there.
