I don't disagree with the mentor/student balance thing, just bringing up a point that it is about education. Education can be in many forms: lecturing, showing, doing, etc. We are educating students in what it is like to be an engineer, and exposing them to science & technology.
Not sure I have a formal opinion about canned websites & awards. Coding HTML is becoming ancient. Just like we don't sit down and write assembly to program our robots. If someone can efficiently use a tool to come up with a great design that conveys their information, that's just like real life. |
True, viewing inspiration as a form of education is a new concept to me. Thanks for pointing that out.
(And as a brief aside, I actually was writing assembly code earlier today...ok, it was for a class.)
