What where your experiences in engineering school?
sigma_xi:
I agree, the best engineers I have met so far have a deep understanding of physics and math.
Apart from that, I think that engineering school/university has a lot to offer, but more often than not the professors just can't teach very well. Between a lecture and a book, I will always choose the book.
I also don't like that they often try to convey personal experience (e.g. shortcuts for certain problems) instead of proper methods. I prefer a structured, logical approach, even if it involves more math.
joseph nicholas:
Engineering is essentially a pretty trivial thing. Learning physics and math are what you should know.
