Tangentially related: following the Mazur link he discusses these four:
Geometric intuition
Algebraic intuition
Computation
Physical intuition
I noticed that an Electrical Engineering education hits all four of these pretty well, with the caveat that they are specific and applied stabs into each area. I feel like other branches of engineering are prone to dropping computation completely in favor of more time on physical and geometric problems. Things like systems and circuit diagrams are also heavily emphasized, which are in line with ways of thinking which provide speedups.
I think it would be possible to maximize the gains if a student were to be aware of this going in.
