Don't listen to yan. I find his attitude towards teaching him self funny, expecially since he took a java course.
His perception is of a program with a serious lack of teachers and administrative support. One teacher can not (and should not be expected to) teach 5 completely unique courses. This program is important. There are a large number of people who enter a engineering field thinking it sounds interesting only to find that it's nothing like they expected. They then soon realize that their 5 ap math credits didn't properly prepare them for the college ciriculum they now find themselves taking. This leads to the type of Engineer that has machinists try and hurt him/her. A very important thing people interested in Engineering need to realize is that you can't learn everything from a textbook. I've seen yan try and take a half inch pass with a large endmill through aluminum. It consisted of: Force endmill a mm forward. Wait for smoke to stop. Spray with oil. Continue until aluninum is melted to endmill. Clean endmill with centerpunch and hammer. Continue. The point is experience counts. Experience is one of the things that all the PLTW courses give you. If nothing else, they look great on a college (and job) application and sound very impressive in college essays. Learning to operate a CNC mill is something typically done in the third or fourth year in most college ciriculum, I learned how to operate a CNC mill my thrid year in high school. I took all 5 courses and found each very useful. Greg Oh, yan. Really think you know how to use Inventor? I'll send you a part to draw sometime. |
