Re: Student / Mentor, desgn/build Poll
Bah... no answer is good. I voted for engineer designed, student built.
Why? 1) Forces the engineers to remember they need to design for a set of builders who DON'T have the skills, knowledge, or ablities to design something amazing. Sometimes we design stuff that is just too complex. 2) Forces the students, many who have never picked up a drill, to see what all goes into building a complex device. The hope is that they learn what kind of amazing skill is needed to build something, so when they are designing something in the future, they don't make it too complex. Of course I can also see it from the other side of the coin - this is just what I thought. Cheers
