I feel like I got a high quality education here overall. I would say that (in the ME curriculum) they basically 'teach you how to learn' rather than focusing on teaching you things that you will use in your engineering career (equations, tables, etc). That is good and bad. You learn a lot of theory, but there's not much practicality in the curriculum. I only use ~5% of what I learned in classes, but if you survive this school, there's a high likelyhood you're either brilliant or know how to work hard.
