I'm sure those engineering firms will proffer the excuse that they can't afford to offer better salaries, they can't offer better training, can't offer this, can't offer that, but that just begs the question of why consulting/banking firms can do it.

But in any case, that was a digression. Returning to the main point, the major advantage that the Ivies offer over many engineering-oriented schools is career flexibility, and in this day and age when you just don't know what career path you will take, that sort of flexibility is priceless. This is particularly important when you're young: you don't want to get locked into a particular field before you even have a chance to find out what else is available.
