Well John - what we don't need is less knowledgable engineers and doctors. What we need is more liberal art students with a back ground in how things are physically accomplished. My engineering degree took approximately 218 quarter hours. The amount of non technical electives was minimal. Today the degree take less than 200 quarter hours. I think it was too hard to keep up the enrollments. You see me as narrow minded. I see non technicals as unknowing. Perhaps there is a lesson for each of this in this. At least we know where each of us is coming from. Next time you need surgery - think about what education you want the doctor to have. Perhaps that is why surgeons are particularly lacking in humor.
