<p>Both S’s are recent engineering grads of good schools. And both say their programs (diff schools, diff engineering majors) were for the most part a long series of very time consuming and difficult weeder courses that ultimately had nothing to do with the real work associated with their particular engineering major. </p>
<p>Allot of engineering programs take the short-cut of “contrived difficulty” to achieve relative notoriety and standing, instead of delivering the much harder to deliver service of “relevance”.</p>
