MIT graduates cannot power a light bulb with a battery

[Audemar]

And most of the "lab" is replicating gravitational force or how colors and textures change in chemical reactions

I'm not sure I agree with that.

Man you should be coming outta that bytch with tony stark ironman suits he built it in a cave with a bunch of scraps!!!!

They still get nice jobs after graduation.

This is all that matters. fukk practical application. Where that bread at? No use in being above-average in intelligence while you trying to find where the extra O's went on

your Walmart check this week.

Agreed but this is so basic it shouldn't be limited to Engineering.


You don't have to be an engineer to jump a car battery, which is the same principle as this.

In fairness, you don't jump a car battery using a single piece of wire.

Do you know highly practical experienced technicians make easily six figures year?

True, but its the exact same principle.
You can power light bulb with 1 wire, or 1 million, doesn't make a difference as long as the resistance is low enough.

The principle here is completing a circuit

EDIT: I mean damn if they were that confused about a single wire they could have just ripped it in half used 2 segments

Breh it's a pisstake. I'm sure a lot of people would forgo technical mastery if they could tie their shoes for 6-figures.

 

[Reflected]

It's really not hard to believe. A lot of kids can't code from scratch at all, they can complete lessons but making their own program without any guidelines is damn near impossible. But at the end of the day, we getting paid.

edit: I will admit that problem in the OP was a bit common sense but sometimes that is what the smartest people lack, common sense. We also don't know all of their majors and I always wonder if having someone coming up to you and asking you a question with a camera just makes you stupid.

Breh, when you achieve that level of technical mastery you don't have to lift a finger either


Say you a Master Electrician, you can own your own business, or be a contractor and have lower level Electricians do all the work while you just oversee it

I hate to sound like i'm bigging myself up, cuz i'm not... but these are things that were covered in the first 2 years of engineering, and i'm not even a mechanical engineer
Hell I sitll have soldering kit at home.

I refuse to believe that the students at MIT are not doing this shyt in Lab.

This has to be very selectively edited, there's no way....

I went to U of I-Urbana, top 5 in CompE/EE in the nation, and we didn't do any soldering.

 

[blackzeus]

Nearly all of them have hands-on "real world experience" by the time they've graduated.
One of them was able to do it in the video, I'm sure this was selectively edited.
Personally, I know how to do it because we had to build the circuitry of a miniature house in 7th grade Earth Science, but I know other people don't have the same experience as me.

Ranking doesn't say much with regards to curriculum and quality of education. The video is one example of that.
