Re: Professor Woodie Flowers on Educational Reform
I agree, our education system is broken.
Even at a college that prides itself on being hands on, and has the slogan of, "Learn by doing", I meet upperclassmen in engineering courses who couldn't do simple design challenges. In one class teaching design standards and solidworks, the entire quarter was just CADing off of a drawing. The final project was to take a picture of a clamp, and design one with production drawings.... you wouldn't believe how many kids were baffled. Don't even get me started on high school.... I'll just leave it at that from what I have seen of the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy (home of 1717), they're doing something RIGHT. Last edited by AdamHeard : 20-05-2009 at 19:39.
