A whole CLASS on "team work" or "presentation skills"? As fundamental to an ENGINEERING curriculum? God save us... Or rather, let's hope all the engineers we import from India and China save us - from faulty automobiles, process plant disasters, collapsing bridges, etc. etc.
A whole class may be more than is necessary, but the inability of the Morton Thiokol engineers to produce a convincing presentation of their results which made their concerns clear to their management and also convinced NASA was a major contribution to the decision to launch Challenger...
So, some education in presentation skills seems worthwhile. -- -- Jim -- James Cownie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
