There's a chip engineer on another thread that is a fundie christian, Bush voter, science denier, yet, he works for Intel. His knowledge is very narrow.

That is my background as well. I had 204 hrs (quarter system) in college for an engineering BS with 33hs non-science of which 16hrs was required religion classes (this was a private religious college), so you figure out what 17hrs of humanities was good for. IIRC, 8 hrs was English/writing, 3 hrs was a Music appreciation class, and I think the remaining 6 consisted of two 3-hour Social Science classes, one an intro class and one on the Social Psychology of the Family, which was an upper division class not approved for engineering general ed, so I had to petition the Admin for approval, but it was the only class which fit my schedule spring quarter of my senior year, I having been neglectful of fully rounding my college experience in earlier quarters.

But I did emerge with a BS in engineering, and very nearly one in both physics and math as well. Who can argue with that?
