UC Berkeley
MIT
And the rest:
These schools are arguably about the same. It all depends on the specific research you'd like to do.

A circuit board or more precisely a printed circuit board (PCB) is a mechanical structure that provides support for mounting electronics and electrical components and connecting them with conducting traces or wires. PCBs are designed to perform a specific electrical or logical function. So what and how a circuit works will depend on its design. e.g. a circuit board in a TV processes audio/video TV signals. An audio amplifier circuit board amplifies and makes audio signals louder. Similarly various circuit boards in a Personal Computer perform different functions e.g. PC mother board, TV tuner card, USB/Firewire Card, Graphics cards are all circuit boards and perform different tasks. All of them need power (typically a DC voltage) for various components and circuits to work.
cad = computer aided design,, and only a means to accomplish the task of minute measurement process and electronic blueprinting of the skectch. For mass production, your design would be very uniform of course along with cad,, there is cad/cam , computer aided design / computer aided machinery. not only can you sketchy your design integrated into a computer that will program the original into an electronic blueprint sketchy,,, now you can send it to another unit called cam computer aided machine that will pump out the finished product from start to finish with no more than one or two human entities to essentially make conception design test and manage the initial start-up of your product cost effective ?

install the package design software in the computer, then design package on computer, kasemake is a great package design software.
ASIC means Application Specific Integrated Circuit
It is easier to design that way and straight lines are the shortest path between two points.

ASIC is an acronym for "application-specific integrated circuit". ASIC designs include the standard-cell design, the gate-array design, the full custom design, and the structured design.

Connecting integrated circuits is not the same as the much simpler cases of resistors, capacitors, inductors, motors, light bulbs, etc. Integrated circuits have designated functions, and they operate in concert with the surrounding circuit design. As such, the idea of "connecting identical integrated circuits in series" has no meaning in the general case. You would need to state what kind of integrated circuit is involved.
As compared to using separate components such as transistors, I guess.An integrated circuit is cheaper to manufacture, it uses less space, uses less energy, and works faster (because of the shorter distances involved). Also, with modern technology it is possible to have millions or even billions of elements (such as transistors) on a single integrated circuit, making it possible to design circuits that would be absolutely impossible without an integrated circuit.
