Husband has been an EE for 30 years (BSEE & MSEE) with a big corporate employer. He often is on the hiring committee for new engineers. He asks to see the actual diplomas. If he sees a non-bsee degree, he will ask the employee to complete an EE task or calc/physics problem as part of the interview. These interviewees will often not do well. It is a very difficult field to get into if you don’t have the “right” paperwork. There are engineers that he has hired that have taken 2 classes at a time per year. They finally get their degrees and work for the company.
