In summary, the conversation revolves around the perception that ITT Tech's engineering program is not as reputable as traditional universities. One person shares their experience with a friend who only took one calculus course at ITT, and they question whether this qualifies them as an engineer. The group also discusses the limited options for engineering degrees at ITT and the level of education they provide.

ITT tech is there to make money. I do not think they care as much about education as about attracting students to their programs. They only offer Engineering technology degrees I think, which I don't think qualifies you to call yourself an engineer, at least in Canada, not sure how it works in the US of A.
