Not that I know of (and may be completely wrong), but I worked for Nokia for 13 years, until it came to a screeching halt. All universities, public and private, have to follow a similar curriculum anyway, and be staffed by union teachers and professors. Nokia did invest heavily in doctoral research programs at state universities, which is not included in the taxpayer bill.
Yeah, I guess you’re right. I should have checked first. I do recall hearing something outrageous about Nokia and Finnish universities, like that they were hiring 90% of their computer engineering graduates.
BTW, what brought it to a screeching halt? It seemed that at one time Nokia was going to take over the world.
Then again, at one time it seemed that Blackberry/RIM was going to take over the world.
