What where your experiences in engineering school?

<< < (5/5)

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.
