Skewed Perspective

I've thought long and hard about how I should word this thread without Offending anybody, so here I go.

I am a three year veteran of Team 151, the Wildcards. During my time on the team I learned more than I could have possibly Imagined. However I am afraid that FIRST gave me a skewed perspective of Engineering. I am not saying that the six weeks of build time was not the best time of my life, because it was. I'm talking about how I, myself was exposed to the world of engineering. I interpreted it as a fun, but Stressful, Hard working, but big rewarding program. However after three years of FIRST, I though Engineering was what I wanted to do with my life, even with my lack of math skills. I am now in my First Semester of College at Wentworth Institute of Technology, and have been have serious doubts about even graduating with an Associates. I've made the decision to not return next semester, and pursue something that is more along my alley, Video Production. I digress, My question to all of you is this:


Does FIRST give a skewed perspective of Engineering?


I am requesting a civil argument about this because I'm sure there are people on Both sides. Thank you for reading and commence the argument.

Well, I think you answered your own question. Engineering is a huge math course, and if you can't do math, you won't succeed at it, no matter how fun it is. It's like if I go to work as a surgeon if I don't know the human body.

Good Point. I feel similar. FIRST is not just about robots. It is about animation, programming, organizing, writing, and tons of other things. Overall I think that the choice is yours, if you want to succeed FIRST will help in your pursuit.

I am requesting a civil argument about this because I'm sure there are people on Both sides. Thank you for reading and commence the argument.
An opinion from the other side of the fence:
I am in my 23rd year as an electrical engineer with a BSEE and MSEE. I strongly believe the FIRST program from experience is very REALISTIC. What you experience in the six weeks is what I experience at work everyday.
It is fun, stressful, requires hard work, but rewarding. I feel the problem most people have is in engineering school skews your perspective of real LIFE. I face the same problem when I was going to school also.
Sorry college has skewed your perspective of Engineering. I hope you rethink the situation.

Aaron,

As others said, you kind of answered your own question.

However, I also want to make sure you know one thing - what you are going through is part of the experience of college, and one of the great parts. College allows you the opportunity to figure out what major or fields interest you more, and the stats will show you that MANY, MANY, MANY people change their majors two, three or more times before the finally graduate. So don't think you are the only one who changes majors or that there is anything wrong with that. It's a glass is half full situation, not empty.

Also, regardless of what field you pursue, FIRST did not only provide you with engineering skills. The experience you gained in areas like teamwork, stress management, time management, brainstorming, sharing ideas, respecting ideas and differences, problem solving, and basic project management - all of this experience has better prepared you to succeed in whatever field you pursue, including Video Production.

Again..glass....half full. Enjoy your college years, work hard, and be grateful you've been exposed to enough various fields that you can realize you prefer some or others.

It sounds like you put thought into whatever decisions you make, so you should do very well. Best of luck.

I am going to have to agree here. I ran into the same thing with computers. I had already been working as a programmer for 4 years [started at 15]before I started college as a CS major. Many kids were CS majors to become programmers after college. With 4 yrs under my belt I figured I could ace college. But what i found out was that college did not reflect what programming was like in real life, and in fact unless a person really wants to be a "computer scientist" I think 90% of most CS majors would be better off as Computer Information systems majors. Unless you'll be designing systems that require a heavy knowledge of math, most application software development will not require any more math then you probably learned in 9th grade and the CIS program is alot more well rounded in programming,networking,etc.

but back on topic,lol

Unfort. EE or any engineering is very heavy in math though very useful in the field. I would not let college damper your feelings on engineering in general becuase I feel FIRST reflects the "real life" expierences of engineering. FIRST is nice in that way becuase it allows you the hands on w/o having to take many of the math and other tedious classes for engineering students in college. My advice to you is not to let college get you down. You already know you love engineering, if math is one of your harder classes then try taking less classes with it, or maybe summer classes, or take an extra year for college. But don't give up, 4 years is very little to ask for a career you'll love for the next 40 years of your life

As of now, I know my interests don't lie in an engineering field, except possibly computers. I just can't see myself doing those kinds of things everyday for the rest of my career, but some 3D Animation, Graphical Design, maybe a little Inventor work on the side... life would be good. I'm seriously looking into what Purdue calls "Computer Graphics Technology." Hopefully this will suit my interests. And don't worry Aaron, you'll get through this it's just college

Purdue - Engineering

I'm at Purdue right now as a freshman and I thought that Engineering at Purdue would be the thing for me, until I wasnt accepted. I had heard previously that it was a tough course, but fun at the same time. When I arrived on campus they told us during our orientations that this freshman class at Purdue was the "smartest" class ever accepted and the bar was raised for everything. Now that I look back on it near the end of my 1st semester I'm kinda glad I didnt get accepted into it. From what my friend tells me it's engineering "boot camp" and the drop out rate is incredible. One thing I did discover is a thing called Mechanical Engineer Technology. From what it sounds like it should be a lot of fun, because it's a more hands on approach to engineering.

Purdue kind of gave me the impression that actual "engineering" was for me, but now I think this aspect of "engineering" is right for me.

I think you have missed the basic purpose of FIRST. Taking science and math classes in highschool is often a very dry experience - you are learning a ton a theory and knowledge, but you get very little exposure to real application

in many colleges this carries on into your first year or two - you still take lots of math, and physics, chemistry, but you dont get to start taking the real intereseting engineering courses yet.

the purpose of FIRST is to show you what comes after that - the light at the end of the tunnel. the FIRST program is very much like real engineering. We dont show up as mentors for FIRST teams with painted on smiles, and have lots of fun, then go back to our real engineering jobs where they lock us in a dungeon and make us do calculus all day.

Engineering at its most basic level is people changing the world. Engineers solve problems. Engineers take physics and science where it is, and apply it to real life problems to create new and better solutions.

To do that, and do it effectively, you need a knowledge base of where physics and science are today. You need a base of mathematics, so you dont waste your time using trial and error to design new systems.

The knowledge you gain in college is the tool you use for the rest of your life. Lots of people can look at a problem and come up with clever solutions - but to implement those solutions, to design and produce working systems, you need that background. Otherwise you have to create everything from scratch!

When you are in college you are still in that tunnel. If you liked what you saw engineers doing with their lives when you were on a FIRST team, then stick it out and you will get there.

And at the same time, if you think you really want to do something else, pursue some other field, there is nothing wrong with that. To be happy in life you need a job doing something you enjoy every day, or you will be miserable for the rest of your life.

We don't?

Just kidding. Having been on both sides of the FIRST experience, I couldn't agree more with what Ken said.

Well the conversation has been civil so we have managed that.

Without attempting to aggravate anyone I have a few comments to make.
first I'll address the posed question. I believe FIRST exposes students to engineering, in a positive way. It shows the fun side. The creative side.

Second. Just because a career looks fun or interesting doesn't mean you will be able to do it. There is a commercial on TV right now that is for one of those mail-order art schools. If you take their test they will determine if you have the "interest and desire" to be an artist. At some point you need the proper skills.

Lastly. I hope engineering programs are rigorous and hard. I feel the same way about pre-med, pre-law...etc...
Why? because I want really good engineers and doctors and lawyers...
I would be hard pressed to accept an argument that a prospective engineer who couldn't handle college has managed to teach themselves enough to fix/design my widget machine.
That said...programming may be an exception. There is a difference between engineering a system from the ground up and writing applications.

In any event I hope you find the direction you are seeking. I have always gone with what interests me. So far its worked.

Ive been an engineer since 1984, and Im tempted to tell you about the jobs Ive had, the programs Ive worked on, the systems that my engineering teams created, but it would take me all night to even begin.

Briefly, Ive worked for Rockwell International, HRB Singer, and GE Aerospace on military programs - systems that went into the F14, F18 and the A10 (the Warthog) - we created systems that saved pilots lives, enabled them to do their jobs better and more accurately.

Then I switched over into the commercial sector, and worked for Rochester Instruments Systems, Sayette Technology, AB Dick ITEK, and I now work at Xerox. Ive worked on systems that monitor power utility substations so technicians can figure out exactly what happened when the grid goes down, Ive worked on LCD display projectors that you can plug into your VCR or PC and watch Star Trek on your living room wall 8 feet wide, or play video games bigger than life - and Ive worked with image processing systems for scanners and graphic arts printers.

I dont think I can tell you how much enjoyment you get when you take a $100,000,000 program from its initial concept, all the way to a sucessful production, or walking through a factory and seeing hundreds of people employed manufacturing a system that you helped design.

To put it in the frame of reference of a FIRST team, the stuff we do on FIRST is small potatos - the kit of parts they give us is scraping edge technology

work on a big project and you get to work with state of the art equipment and technology, and literally do things that have never been done before.

Is FIRST a scam? does it give students a skewed perspective, unrealistic expectations of what its really like to be an engineer?

Not by a long shot! FIRST is the real thing, its like engineering kindergarden, but its the real stuff.

College is hard, it's not High School by any means. I learned this, and am still learning this fact the hard way. If you switched majors from engineering, college would still be hard. That's why not everyone does it.

Also, keep a few things in mind. First, going to college to be an engineer is not the same thing as being an engineer. Second, FIRST is designed to make engineering fun. If they made it hard do you think anyone would do it?

Simply put, FIRST is what you make of it.

It can further you in any way you choose... so choose wisely.

I don't mean this as an attack, but it's obvious from your post that you do a lot of work in the 'real' world and do not have much of an idea how much work goes into a software project. It sounds like you're trivializing Computer Science & Comptuer Engineering and removing them from the realm of engineering, quite a common reaction from those who don't know much about software projects.

Software systems are every bit as complex as mechanical systems and require as much knowledge & skill to engineer as any mechanical system. Think about how complex some of the giant software systems are. Cellular networks (had to use it) for example are made up of a dozen or more boxes (computers) passing messages back & forth. Each box is running dozens of processes (applications), most of which are talking to each other. Each application consists of hundreds of functions that have to perform tasks based on inputs from the other functions. Sound like a complex system that must be carefully & skillfully engineered from the ground up, or is it just a bunch of applications?

Sorry to take the thread off-topic, but I must always respond to people when they trivialize software engineering.

Now back to the original question. FIRST gives a great perspective of engineering: unrealistic deadlines, not enough resources, problems that can be solved in countless ways with the freedom to choose the best method, tremendous competition from your peers, plus a lot more I can't think of now. FIRST is an entire engineering project shrunk into 6 short, stressful, tiring, and rewarding weeks.

Mike
