Working as an engineer for a couple of years after you finish your undergraduate degree will also teach you more about engineering than you ever learned in college. College is mostly about teaching you to learn independently. The most efficient way to do that is through challenges with deadlines attached. Any of several challenging extracurricular projects you can get involved with while still in college will accomplish that, too; based on some of your posts here, you seem to be taking good advantage of such opportunities now, sanddrag.

FIRST is an even better way to learn how to learn independently, because FIRSTers start younger.
