Hey All, Figured I'd throw my ol' 2 cents worth into the fray. I would like to point out...it doesn't matter! How many of you know what you know now because of something you learned in school? Ok...I'll give you math skills, some theory...but most of the information "learned" in class is "fill and flush". You pass the test, write the paper, turn in the project and it is on to the next task. The educations system teaches us to put out fires.
The emphesis should be placed on the OJT program a newly hired engineer is placed into when they go to work. We learn through experience and formal training doesn't offer enough experience to be useful, nor will it ever be able to provide the range and intensity needed in the field. It would be nice if compliance were taught, but it should be implemented as a general design practice. Dave Spencer
