I do not want to start a war of the type "my father is stronger than yours"! Remember that my appreciation is based on my interaction with engineers as a technician over a 35 years carreer in the telecommunication industry. Therefore, it is nothing more than my personal opinion which might change.
Furthermore,I am not aquainted with the subtile differences between institutions. Except for one... The ÉTS seem to generally provide more capable engineers, based on the fact that their student have a technical degree before entering that institution. Arguably, that may allow a former technician to become a better engineer because he does have technical habilities engineers do not generally have. But then again, this is the opinion of a technician that is more at ease with engineers that act like technicians rather than like managers.
