[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think school ranking matters some what.  Kids at top selective schools are fighting against top students but at lower tier schools competition is water down.  If you d want to hire someone to just run a process then a technician can do the job. But if you want a problem solver to enhance process etc, you want an engineer at reputable university. At the minimum should be your state flagship. [/quote]
That's nonsense.  There's nothing wrong with going to NC State, Michigan State, Virginia Tech or ASU, even though those aren't the state flagship.  Ignore the PP.  They clearly are clueless.[/quote]

PP likely meant the tech flagship, if it is different from the overall flagship. UCB and Mich it is the same of course. [/quote]
You dont have to go to UCB or UCLA for an engineering degree.  Cal Poly, UC Irvine, UC Davis, and many other California state schools are also totally reasonable.  There is absolutely no rule that it needs to be the state flagship to be a respected program.[/quote]
