Go to Post There's a balance to it all, when the engineers guide the students, and both cooperate to build a robot. There can be no better way then when both sides are in cooperation - the true spirit of FIRST. - Jim McGeehin [more]

Re: Is a bias showing?

A lot of the people I work with (at a technology company) are talking about steAm where the A stands for art. Art is important and it is losing ground in a lot of schools along with engineering. Few things get dissed in schools as much as computer science does though - in my biased opinion.

I think that larger concern though is people going into easy majors for which there is a shortage of jobs while ignoring the harder STEM courses for which there are jobs but a shortage of people to take them. It's a real problem.
