Hi,
Having the opportunity to work in an international environment - as no doubt many of you – when talking candidly with my fellow colleagues afterhours, a I have come across an opinion which is quite perplexing to me, i.e. as compared with the engineering education in the US the level of engineering education in their respective countries is ‘much higher’, ‘more selective’, ‘way tougher’, and that us US educated fellow engineers somehow had it ‘easy’. This seems to be true for all levels (BS, MS, and PhD).
I will not form my opinion just yet (although ‘Could our system really be so lame?’ is the question on my mind), as I am curious to hear from you, especially those individuals who got their degrees both overseas and the US, and hence are in the best position to make a revealing comparison.
Regards.
