MIT graduates cannot power a light bulb with a battery

[Gold]

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

So... MIT doesn't do labs?

I would understand if this was at a 20 year reunion but breh, they were undegrads just hours ago.

shyt don't make sense

Exactly. General Engineering programs are a waste of time IMO. It's pure theory no hands on. And most of the "lab" is replicating gravitational force or how colors and textures change in chemical reactions

To me the best major is Engineering Technology. It prepares you to be an Engineer and Technician. In a way it's basically the same as a 4 year trade apprenticeship
Eng Tech majors have lab work in every class and field experience in their chosen field. Plus have classes devoted to passing State Licensing tests

Instead of getting out of school to be a low level intern, AKA paper pusher your first 3 years

I'm an electrical engineer and them eet programs get treated like red headed step children in practice. EET programs don't teach signals, electromagnetics nor semiconductor physics. Pretty much useless in electronics development.

The problem is engineers aren't supposed to be doing low level hands on technical shyt. They take a theory and design a new device or process.

What messes engineering schools up is that the program is predicated on group work. Meaning some group members will build the circuits while the others write the report. I can't type so I always volunteered to build everything. Engineering school mimics real life sometimes. We all work with people who don't know shyt so they do shyt others in the group don't want to do

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

You were a charity case. We were potential employees in training, big difference breh

Awwww Massa's favorite child is angry

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 .

Nobody in America builds sh*t anymore. That's the issue. I think it was Obama who was pushing Cook to bring back more jobs to the USA, Cook was saying nobody here even knows how to f*ckin' stamp a circuit board anymore The previous era of engineers (pre 1990s) were all "tinkerers", they were hands on with the sh*ts. THAT is what led to the progress we have today, electrical engineering hasn't advanced much since the 1950s, what's advanced is the material science side of things and the ability to "miniaturize" the same basic designs over and over.

Who cares. LOL @ you getting angry cause Bill Gates donates to everyone. You ain't special breh

You don't understand. The issue is that education is a business. Maybe like 1% of all employed people in their field "advance" their field. Most are just copycatters. Universities don't make money teaching you to design semiconductors and chip scale package ball grid array IC chips. They teach you "theory". If universities really cared about you 25% of your time would be in the classroom and 75% of your time in the field doing real sh*t. But since it doesn't take 4 years and $300K to learn how to design microchips they package all this bullsh*t together to give you a "proper" education. If it was free I would completely understand, but to spend what is startup money for most enterprises on theories that 99% of students will never apply for pragmatic solutions is the biggest hustle since the Catholic church

Not necessarily. The basics are the basics just like chemistry and such. Name a new chemical process since Marie Curie lol

It's all about application. Take SDR or software defined radios before u had to build big ass antenna fields to support radio transmission now because of TCP advancement everything is transmitted over the wire meaning less constriction. In a country when more people are born which means land is needed for houses and farming, we can't be out here building antenna fields so nikkas can hop on twitter and IG.

The application of the basics is what has been changing and will continue to change.

We can agree on this.

I said he visited us personally and "sponsored" our school. I'm not angry, frankly I don't care and this banter is diverting the attention from a much more serious topic. A lot of people fund high schools, Michael Jordan and Walter Payton are just a few that come to mind in the Chi. Now if Bill Gates was giving speeches at your high school and implemented coursework so that you could successfully intern over in Redmond than my bad breh we are the same

Can I get a PM of you avi? Looks interesting lol Back on topic what I believe they always had for radio transmission were "towers". But yes because of advancements in "switching" you can share towers. As far as a new chemical process are you referring to Pasteurization? I think you're thinking of Louis Pasteur, Marie Curie discovered elements and radiactive isotopes and sh*t like that. And there is a sh*t ton of advancements in genetics (e.g. cloning) so yes there are new chemical processes lol. I don't think they were doing that in the days of Marie Curie lol.

Cloning is an application just like nuclear augmentation is an application. I meant that the basics of electronics don't change like the basics of chemistry hasn't changed.

Engineering is about the advancement of processes not necessarily "building". Why build something by hand when you can develop a computer to do it so you can do something else. Automation at its finest but those drones and robots are moving engineering forward.

I'm on my phone now, I'ma look on my laptop for it when i get a chance. It's the guitar gawd Prince lol

A) The guitar gawd is Jimi Hendrix, don't you forget, everybody else is just a watered down imitation.

B) I'm not sure if engineering is about the "advancement" of processes, I would say more so to make processes more "efficient", but I could rock with your definition Unfortunately if you can't conceive of how something you designed can be built outside of mailing your blueprints to Taiwan it's kind of hard to respect your engineering skills
