I totally agree with Roger. The important bit is "after a couple of
years' (full-time equivalent) of actually learning stuff"
When it comes to high end engineering, the stuff of mathematics is critical.
I doubt very much that students could learn differential and integral
calculus, vectors, tensors, Fourier and Laplace transforms, Newtonian
Dynamics etc, by doing project work.
As the saying goes, in theory there is no difference between theory and
practice; in practice there is.
