Not engineering schools.

Emory is huge in life sciences and biotech. Surely there is an element of cross-pollination with the technologies involved in the design and manufacturing of automobiles and advanced transportation systems.

What about things like driver perceptions, fatigue, crashworthiness, ergonomics, pollution, alternative fuel systems, etc.?

Emory sucks in Computer Science. Even Georgia State's department is better than Emory's. The only good CS department in Georgia is at GT.

Okay. Point taken. But CS isn't everything. Bio Tech is just as important. Health care tech is important. Don't discount the "soft" sciences for the "hard" sciences. As a CS grad from MIT, I can promise you CS isn't the holy grail. Only one variable in the equation (no pun intended).

The curriculum at Southern Polytechnic looks good just going by course titles, but I have no idea how the execution is.

Wow! Bisnow reports that General Motors is targeting a former UPS software development facility in Roswell for its potential Atlanta Innovation Center.
