"the US over everywhere else .. This kind of system is the only way to create engineers capable of dismantling _any_ sort of animal that bestows upon them" From what I have seen this is just not true, or at least a too narrow point of view. First of all I think there are other western countries out there where you get this type of not so practical nor job oriented eductaion. There's enough countries where you can even choose to take the more theoretic engineering approach or go for the more practical approach. Also I doubt every single institution in the US where you can get an engineering degree works that way. Secondly, that capability is something that you cannot simply learn to anyone out there. I even dare to say some are born with it and some are not.
