Had a cheap farmer as project leader at my workplace, that's the only thing I know about him though I guess hopefully someone checked he had some kind of formal education. > Universities and schools are not the only way to > learn.

Universities at least have some check, quite often a written Exam before course could be passed, a little hard to check what kind of books/articles someone have read and even more so what they might have learned. > It's all about attitude.

Met this attitude then working, "it will all be fine if we just get the project". Quite often try even though I do not think I can do it or good enough. > So is a 747.

It's not that complex get thing moving but to make it perfect is and require knowledge in mechanics, electronics, mathematics and to some degree software. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
