Re: Does FIRST only make engineers?

I attend WPI and during my freshmen orientation they asked for the students involved with FIRST to raise their hands. With WPI attracting many FIRST grads more then half of the room raised their hands. But this same question was asked to the robotics engineering majors at WPI and less then half of the room raised their hands. I talking with my classmates i believe that the FIRST grads are spread across all the majors offered at WPI. FIRST teaches much more more the Engineering. I am a robotics engineering major but the skills that i value most form first are not technical i value project management and leadership skills over the engineering.
