We also have a problem with graduate engineers not being up to par with other engineers that have come out of higher ranking centers of learning. Then throw in the fact that those standards here are not the same ones adopted in other countries. My son who is in the medical provider field asked me this question and he answered it too. "What do you call a doctor that graduated at the bottom of his class.?" Doctor was the answer. Well I think that about says it all. If something is going to happen that I am not supportive of like a world economy, standards are going to have to be proposed in everything and that includes education. We also have to knock down those that get multi million dollar bonuses for doing next to nothing and raise up those that shape the world with ideas, creations and actual projects. They deserve better and that means more. I'm saying this from the standpoint of not being an engineer but one that helps to shape future engineers as a SolidWorks Instructor at college. I'm also supposed to be retired. Well I do agree about the shortage of engineers.
