Very much depends on your speciality in engineering - US engineering in some fields is world-class,in some fields it's,well, developing world. Very much depends on your field, therefore.

A fun blend of mechanical, civil, marine, and fire protection engineering, with hobby-grade mechatronics on the side.

Mhm. Hard. Due to the fact that engineering is split into subspecialties in most of Europe the "general purpose engineer" is often unknown. And for civil and fire protection work you would need a local degree to prove you know the codes. (Which tbh are vastly different).

But trying and failing is better than never trying + this is not my field and I just repeat what I gathered from friends in these fields.
