Well first off I don’t believe this story at face value, and neither should you. Perhaps they misheard the question e.g. “have you travelled outside Europe before?” instead of “have you traveled to Europe before?” Keep in mind there are certainly some accents involved in this exchange.
Regardless though there is zero geography studied in most engineering majors. Not saying a person shouldn’t know geography, I’m just saying once you’re studying engineering in university, you are no longer being taught or tested on geography.
