This is not how a serious professional would provide feedback to a junior level engineer fresh out of college. If your boss is tearing you down instead of building you up, I'd go look for something new. You need mentors and people that want to see you grow.
As a director if I had the same thoughts, I'd approach it much differently.
- What do you think were the major blockers?
- What do you think we can we do differently to speed up next time?
- Have you had an opportunity to see <insert exhibit>, looks like some really cool ideas and examples
- What were the good parts of this project in your opinion?
He had an opportunity to build a rapport with you and decided instead to instill fear and doubt. I have never called myself the boss, I'm on your team, my goals are just a little different, but most of them hinge on the fact that you'll be successful, and that it's my job to ensure that success.
Plenty of people are hiring, you shouldn't have to feel like this for weeks on end because he lacks intelligence and empathy.
