Uh oh! Both examples are
after a 4 year undergrad degree!
BTW - the hierarchies within engineering change over time. During the era of massive public works projects in the US and IIRC elsewhere, Civil engineers were looked up to. Then they became piffle. Now, that infrastructure is need of replacement and env'l concerns are also creating a need for different massive projects, so civil is on the upswing again (not in PRAF tho).
In fact, a friend's daughter just got into Berkeley for a civil eng. program and they are all overjoyed. Of course, she is just a lowly radiation oncologist with one of those 4 years degrees (from Stanford - does that help? -- she was at USC but transferred, so she must be smart, right?).
