If you can't pass engineering courses, you fail out.

I don't think that there is currently any problem with American engineering schools and standards, admission or otherwise, unless someone has some data that shows the opposite.

I think that a problem with engineering schools is that they teach anti-cooperation, which companies who hire them find unhelpful.
