I think it’s practical. I haven’t known many engineer types to make a huge deal of graduation per se. It’s just the next step in a bigger procedure.

Yeah, that’s totally me. I honestly don’t see any value in the certificate, but employers do, so whatever.
I went to school for one reason: to get a job. I enjoyed my field of study, but I hated the college process because it took all the fun out of what I enjoyed about my area of study. In fact, I was better at learning relevant things (i.e. things I actually use now) on my own vs in school. But hey, got the job, so task accomplished.
I was a lot more excited about finishing my first project at work than finishing school. Go figure.
