I think a similar post was posted a while back and ASU made the cut. Maybe it was for a previous year.

I expected the three Silicon Valley schools. Was slightly surprised that GA Tech and UIUC were at the end of the list. Might be due to the size of the student body?

I can't remember the methodology used for that one. This one looked at almost 300,000 resumes of employees at 100 different major tech companies.

The reason Harvard, Yale, or MIT didn't make the list is mainly because of their low enrollment figures. 

Harvard undergraduate enrollment is 1662 vs. UCLA at 30,000+
Degrees: BA Computer Science, BS Business Administration with a concentration in CIS, AS Natural Science & Math, TESU. 4.0 GPA 2022.

That's partially the reason. Some of these state universities are just ranked higher in computer science and engineering.

Ranking and location is probably more of a factor than student body size. But, also keep in mind that just because a school has a lot of undergraduate students doesn't mean that it has a lot of computer science, IT/IS, and engineering students. For example, even though UT has almost 10X as many students as MIT, it only has a little over twice as many computer science students. 

Here are the undergraduate enrollments.

Top 10 Feeder Schools

University of Washington - 36,302
Carnegie Mellon - 7,365
Stanford - 7,645
Berkeley - 32,143
USC - 20,790
San Jose State University - 28,288
University of Michigan - 32,282
UT Austin - 40,916
Georgia Tech - 17,477
UIUC - 34,779

Ivy League and MIT

Brown - 7,349
Columbia - 8,148
Cornell - 15,503
Dartmouth - 4,556
Harvard - 7,153
Penn - 9,962
Princeton - 5,321
Yale - 6,536
MIT - 4,638

Universities with most undergraduate students

Arizona State University 64,716 
University of Central Florida 60,075 
Texas A&M University 56,723 
Liberty University (VA) 48,135 
Ohio State University 47,106 
Florida International University 46,079 
University of Maryland Global Campus 45,100 
University of Texas at Austin 40,916 
Pennsylvania State University 40,600

I'm not sure where you got that figure for Harvard, but Harvard has over 7,000 undergraduate students. They might admit around 1,600 students each year, but you'd have to compare that figure to how many students UCLA admits each year, and UCLA is not admitting over 30,000 students every year.

Obviously, a lot of this is due to location; many companies are located where they can find a lot of graduates to hire.

Maybe only I was surprised that the article attached to the list is from 2017, but okay. I am interested in the dependence on the number of students to those specialties and the number of hires, that is, diplomas of which universities have more weight regardless of the volume of students

Except, student body size doesn't explain why every school is on the list. Several of the schools have just as many students as the Ivy League schools. Location also doesn't fully explain the list because some of the metro areas with the most tech jobs don't have any schools in the top 10.
