At northrop grumman METs are a hiring manager decision. I can not comment on other departments or even other groups in my department, but in my group METs don't get interviewed.
Northrop grumman sets the median in this area for engineers.
Yeah, the process is a alot harder for ME's. What sucks is the kids that do get in and got that good old 3.8 or 4.0 GPA stll suck at there job. I dont have the super high GPA but I do have the design smarts and I can easily bust out some calculations if there is any need. Going through the engineering program through VCU you really find out that almost all the shit you learn is bullshit. We learned about bearings in MSD and I was like do we really have to calculate all this stuff. Teacher was like fuck no, all you have to do is find the basics and look in a damn manufacturer's catalog haha.
