How important is engineering undergraduate school name recognition?

My main point is that incoming students should consider the credit they claim carefully in subjects like calculus and physics, as getting a 5 on the AP exam hardly proves you understand the material and a college/engineering level given that they are still standardized tests and the quality of AP instruction varies so greatly.
