Your link is to engineering graduate schools, which is irrelevant in my opinion. Most successful engineers don't go to graduate school, although some do and go on to very successful careers.

Most successful engineers earn an MBA or some type of PMP certification, after earning their undergrad degree.

One of my best friends will be graduating from LSU's engineering program this spring. I won't take away anything from his degree, but I'm definitely fine with my degree from UL. It has taken him 10 years to complete and he has an interview with my company tomorrow. I wish him the best and hope his LSU degree is adequate.

You fail for not doing better research.
