<p>I know for engineering, we have an accreditation board (ABET) as well as a fundamentals of engineering exam (FE) exam that you have to pass to be considered an engineer-in-training. I attend an ABET accredited school (Clemson) and have passed the FE exam. Is my degree (when I get it in December) less valuable than someone who graduated from say UC-Berkeley? Who knows but I’ve done everything that’s been asked of me and I think I’ll be a successful engineer.</p>
