An Engineering Crisis or Renaissance

Less mediocre people (student) !!!

There is no crisis.

Communication problem is caused because these students have difficulty passing their communication/english/humanities subjects. If they flunk, they deserve it. Engineering is for the elite only, not for the technopeasants!!!

We get paid to think and monkey with tools and occationally spend an obscene amount of company money on a project. I believe the means justify the end. Work hard, play hard! This is a case of sensational journalism by the Princeton Review.

Exactly my point, I agree with you. But they have to earn it first.

Engineers who want to stay competitive need a broad non-traditional skill set as well.

Yeh..that's what the pencil pushers and bean counters keep telling us, and we're pig sick of it.
Hey, we must all learn to lie and brown nose better, tell 'em what they want to hear and to hell with the engineering, let's just all learn how to nod, grin and say 'yes'.

The Princeton Review says seven schools with the worst professors.

Who says they are the worst pofessors...some pratt with a clipboard and a bunch of management targets or the students or some engineers?

Del (Defensive? Moi? )

Who says they are Engineering Professors. It just says they are Engineering schools.

So, Princeton found that lot of master fields, but couldn't cut these masterds.

But thre are history and story of Linde, Siemens, Edisons, and in the making all the time brewing silently and working hard if not in USA or Japan, but in 3rd world, and sure in 2nd world if anything like 2nd world be.
