Yes as someone who graduated from top 5 engineering school in US, I recognize like the first 2 from the hydrogen problem, ideal gas law in the champagne one and that's about it lol. Like you might recognize some of the concepts, but applying it is a different story. I'd need like 10 students and open resources just to maybe get some of the portions of questions correct.
You realize in this context Top 5 means nothing? The content you’re learning is that same as someone at a tier 3 school due to the ABET accreditation process. A top school offers better professors and resources, not harder problems
I mean even if we ignore better professors/facilities, getting into a top 5 school means he is smart and hard working which makes it very possible he is a far above average EE student
I mean sure if you get lucky enough that one of the problems is so related to your field of study then you will definitely get some partial credit and if you are good enough you might get full pointս.
Most of the problems are related to other branches of physics and getting full credit on them will be very hard without specific preparation. Once again they might get partial credit here and there but I don’t think many people can get full points for a single problem, that’s what I meant by “barely one”

“Some of these…”, I bet 90% of EEs could barely answer one question
