I would actually say that the logic runs the other way: that the fact that the requirements are more lax and that fewer courses are needed is precisely what makes engineering at the Ivies so appealing, for several reasons.

I understand your point, though I wasn't thinking the same way you were. The way I saw it, the fewer engineering requirements meant fewer opportunities to take the classes that were interesting to me. That doesn't mean those who take the extra courses are more prepared for post-academia life though. It just means that non-Ivys cater more towards those who enjoy engineering.
