> What of those who graduated from engineering programs taught at engineer colleges? For new grads? In my experience, they're usually miles behind an 18 year old who has been messing around in their spare time for a few years. There are, of course, exceptions, but at this point seeing something they don't teach at the local universities is more eye-catching on a resume than most degrees. It usually means they bothered to learn something on their own.
