One of the people in HR tells me that included in resumes/CVs for
a mechanical design engineer position we had open in March, they
received no less than a dozen mentioning that the individual has
degrees from such prestigious non-accredited schools.

With my degree from a state university

"a state university" - is it a recognizable part of the state
educational system, or something like the "University of Southern
North Dakota at Hoople"? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone
having a problem with state operated schools. Private schools tend
to be more of a problem because there are so many of them. Or do
you mean 'state' as in nations - such as the University of Debrecen
(a Hungarian state university, about the size of UI Chicago)? Those
tend to be more difficult due to language differences, but are rarely
show-stoppers, unless it exposes visa problems.

I list the URL to their web site on my resume. I wonder if I should
change that to a URL to its entry in the regional accreditation
database.

I don't know that the URL would be needed. In my company (and I'm
relatively sure elsewhere too), we are going to be looking very
closely at references and that includes the education items. Those
times I've seen those "prestigious non-accredited schools" listed, it's
been quite obvious to even a cursory glance. Additionally, there are
usually several other blatant faults with the resumes/CVs, but one
obvious fault is usually enough to hit the 'do not call' list.
