What's the average entry-level engineering job like?

My entry position was with the DoD. Six months after graduation I was riding in the back seat of a fighter jet looking down at my old school.



Private and DOD jobs are different. Yes, certain jobs require you to know upper-courses.
DSP,E&M,Microelectronics Analog/Digital design. At the end of my Soph year i knew nothing about these topics as they were all upper level. On job interviews nobody asked me about first or second order RLC circuits which are lower level topics.

For me the upper level classes mattered most. They asked about “stack overflow”,“MISO” “A/D conversion questions” and “PID controller”.
