By test scores and knowledge alone? I'd say about 6 months.

Of course, to make it official could cost up to $200,000.

So if you walked into a civil engineering firm in six months, and demanded an interview by one of their MIT-trained staff, he could quiz you all day and come away convinced that you knew as much about engineering as he did?

I could if I studied Civil Engineering. In Chemical or Mechanical Engineering, I definitely could in six months.
