--- Quote from: coppice on January 03, 2020, 08:43:06 pm ---This is fine if you are content to spend your life retreading old ground, but its not a suitable grounding for doing novel things. Matlab is a blessing for the working engineer, but its a curse for students. I lets them avoid understanding anything they do, and they are increasingly encouraged to take this path. If they have any aspirations it will come back to bite them.

I agree here 100%.  What I refer to is what I call "cookbook" engineering.  You don't know why something works, you just look up a formula and move on.  I believe we all do that to some degree, especially in areas that we are not accustomed to working in, but it shouldn't be that way in your professional area.  If you learn the basic principles, you can derive what you need when you need it, and I believe it makes one more creative.
