>I suspect that they are implicitly filtering for those engineers that will follow tasks without asking too many questions As a general rule most educational systems are that way, for example you need to be very conformist if you want to become an MD. Consequently you will not find many MDs who are no-conformist. In fact I would go so far as to say that even elementary and high school filters for conformist people who are going to be willing cogs for their government and corporate overlords in the future
