MIT graduates cannot power a light bulb with a battery

[Gold]

I'm not sure I agree with that.

yeah same...

We soldered, built robots (still have 2 of mine), built logic boards, measured frequency with vco's, coded with machine language, etc all in lab.
And this was at Vanderbilt, which is not known for its engineering prowess (more of a medical/law school really)

But I'm supposed to believe that engineering students at MIT didn't do shyt in lab?



This video is propaganda, these were probably the only people that had any trouble with this. I bet the rest of them did it in 10 seconds.

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

college is a scam brehs, I keep telling ya'll

This may shock you, but most engineering/comp sci/hard science students at top universities work at least one internship in those four years + co-ops and labs.
Especially comp sci, the majority of those students at top schools have been programming and designing on their own for years.

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

Our college was sponsored by Microsoft Bill Gates visited us personally and everybody got a free copy of Windows Hell I got a recruitment letter from Argonne National Laboratory, and got an internship out of high school to a Fortune 500 company. Most engineers are paper pushers, went sh*t broke down on the production line at my internship, the German experts were called in

Comp sci is different, it's all computer based. When it comes to PHYSICAL engineering most students are severely lacking in practical knowledge, it is what it is breh

That's all good and well, but still gives no implication about curriculum/quality of education. The fact that some cats can't complete a basic circuit after graduating from one of the world's most prestigious universities is concerning.

They can draw you one hell of an RC circuit though

My point exactly. Everyone learns how to do that, but when it comes to practical application, even in the most fundamental senses, some cats are like .

 

[sfgiants]

looks like it was shot in the 90s
which means all those bytches had multiple job offerings the moment they graduated

My High school was funded by Microsoft and Bill Gates. That don't mean shyt

Aspire to be an employee brehs

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

My point exactly. Everyone learns how to do that, but when it comes to practical application, even in the most fundamental senses, some cats are like .

They talked about this shyt in the video. People thinking that shyt that is obvious to them, is obvious to everyone else. How would grads, who have no practical experience with actual electric circuits, know what to do?
shyt, even if they take a circuits class, if they're not an Elec Eng they'll never have to know it again in school/career

 

[Uncle Kendrick]

Good will hunting exposed these clown years ago.

 

[Audemar]

I have no practical experience with circuits (chemical engineer student), but it's fundamental, fam. This is like the derivative of 5 or learning how to print "Hello World."

You guys know there's several different engineering sectors right? Electrical is just one

This point was already covered. I study ChemE and I have basic knowledge of circuits. Even if one doesn't take a general design course, Physics and accompanying lab courses cover circuits.
