2. I would seriously be mortified to live in a world where engineers where demoted to the level of “Exalted” technicians as you propose.

<p>Who said anything about engineers being “demoated” to the level of exalted technicians? I am simply proposing a notion that engineering students learn about topics that may be conceptually difficult, yet still highly practical. Note, that’s not to say that hey actually have to take jobs pertaining to those particular topics. But they would know about them. </p>

So my question for you is why teach engineers hands on vocational skills when you could be teaching them a broad and viable skillset that is good not only for developing a scientifically competent workforce, but is also widely applicable and helps facilitate the process of standardizing the expectations and rigour of the discipline?

<p>As I explained before, the ideal curriculum would combine both theory and practicality. Why settle on deep theory that is impractical, when you could teach theory that is also practical?</p>
