+1. I don't design any manufactured parts at my day job, but the lessons I learned designing and then having to build a real thing as an FRC students were invaluable.
I love it when the CAD kids make an awful drawing, and then have to go manufacture the part. It is a much more effective lesson than someone else telling them to redo it.
"The country's success since that perilous time [1942] boggles the mind. On an inflation adjusted basis, GDP per capita more than
quadrupled between 1941 and 2012. Throughout that period,
every tomorrow has been uncertain. America's destiny however, has always been clear: ever-increasing abundance." -Warren Buffet, 2012 Letter to Shareholders
