Sorry, but this is absurd. Removing the general education requirements would not allow for an engineering degree is two years. You need nearly two years just for the various math courses, to say nothing of the actual engineering classes. Engineering degrees have very little padding as it is.
Oh, and a degree does not make one competent. It just means your know enough to be dangerous, not what you're doing. There's a reason real-life experience is a requirement for being a PE.
There's at least a full time semester or two of fluff and indoctrination, that can be removed from most college majors.
Even if you can't reduce the time, because there's a lot of math courses that are lined up semester to semester, you can still save students thousands of dollars by cutting the BS.
