The class I feel was most important for me during college was Technical Writing. It is also one I regularly recommend to students. It matters not how much knowledge you have in a particular area, if you can't communicate, no one will benefit from your ideas. Right up there were some classes that have opened my eyes in other areas. Business Management, marketing, metal shop & safety, and American Lit.
Of the engineering hardships facing this country in the coming years, getting our manufacturing ability back and fixing infrastructure seem to be the most daunting.
