I went to an engineering school that is ranked high in that department. Many will disagree with me on this point, but I truly believe that "college education" is a scam. College was sold to me on the premises that 1) I would be taught my job related skills there and 2) this experience would provide me with a job / or at least prepare me for a job. Neither of these things turned out to be true. Not even 20% true. But rather 0% true. Nothing usable was taught and by the time I was a junior in my computer engineering curriculum I doubt 50% of the class would be able to hook up a couple of batteries to produce the correct voltage needed. Huge classes, 60 point curves, theory and mathematics without practical application, no hands on works that deals with real world use/cases. Get them in, get them out, take their money. I'm not saying college is useless, just that what is sold to you is not what is delivered. I run my own business now.
