You said, “Why don’t you ask 10 CEO’s of top corporations in So Cal and ask them who they would rather hire for a Vice President’s job, Cal Poly SLO vs UCLA? oops, forgot, it would never get to this point, because the CalPolySLO engineer would still be working as a low to middle level engineer.”

Please ask the CEO of Raytheon, who is a Cal Poly grad, what he thinks about Cal Poly grads possibilities for advancement into management.

Please do a little more research before you make comments like this. There are many Cal Poly grads who manage engineering grads from the UC’s, Harvey Mudd, and loads of other great schools. This does not mean that I think Cal Poly is better than those schools. It just means that being a Cal Poly grad does not hold you back from a senior management position. Once you are in a firm it is all about performance. I own my own firm and I’ve fired a handful of grads from top schools because they were lazy and had some weird sense of entitlement. I even fired one employee from my own alma mater for insubordination! I’ve promoted others who worked their way up the ladder after graduating from “no name” institutions. It all depends on the person and work ethic once on the job.
