Experience with hands on actual build using discrete actual parts is what they are not getting. Schools save money by using simulation software. Blown damaged circuits done by learning students are expensive to replace so they “simulate” where they can.
They aren’t being taught welding and are not given hard wiring experience. Also various firms have unique in house products that might require designs that include “backward placed” diodes”; no school can anticipate and teach every real world application of electronic theory out there. They can only give the basics and teach ongoing trends...the rest will be on the student to gain the experience and the firms will have to do the refining of knowledge.
I saw that but context was hard to fathom. One might employ such a design to allow a very small minimized back flow of current, being placed parallel to a path into a ground for monitoring or feedback purposes...or the writer was stating that such a person had placed a diode backward which stopped most current when it should have been placed by him in an opposite direction to allow current operation past the .6 volt thresh-hold.
What a wise encouraging insightful teacher...too many of those are dead or have been silenced into insignificance!

Well worth reading, thank you.
Excellent book from this playful brilliant man
Reno is an editor of FIRST THINGS JOURNAL. I read him every month.
He coined the term MORAL PREENING iirc
Medical and nursing schools are now relying on Sims. Very dangerous imho
The current crisis in mental health lack of custodial care can be linked directly back to ivy league law school graduates nationwide who had no understanding of what they were doing in their drama to do good.
They had no ability to understand any perspective except their own and could not understand the concept of thought disorder. They thought the patients would willingly take medication and live in little apartments with minimal supervision.
These fools caused more pain and havoc over the past 30 years in the lives of the mentally ill than in the previous century.
No one remembers that prior to congregate care of the mentally ill and commitment the care consisted of locked sheds and attics and murder.
The homelessness our country is experiencing is a direct consequence.
Bastards!
She, and her husband, were geniuses in their field and did as much to help the war effort in WWII as anyone.
They both decided to spend their golden years teaching undergrads at Iowa State.
She had a soft spot for chemical engineers. Seems their first bulk batch of synthetic rubber set up in the reactor because they forgot to figure out how to get it out of the tank. An engineer came in and helped them.
Agree !
Got to pay for those diversity administrators!
Get those university employee SJW statistics right .
Much more important !
In the case of Harvard Law, that should include every graduate.
We’d lose a few good guys, but the overall net gain would be immense.
Let me urge everyone on my list, if you haven’t done so, get Charles Murray’s book, “Coming Apart.” Merely the “bubble test” he has in there is worth the book. Give that to your friends. I think they would find it fun, and probably revealing.
Dang you!
I ordered his book via Kindle and spent most of yesterday reading it and finished this morning.
There is a sad, class-warfare undercurrent in articles like this one. Maybe it's because many people have never actually WORKED with an Ivy Leaguer, in which case the posters are as guilty of ignorance as the anti-capitalists et al who've never worked in the private sector.
I've had plenty of Ivy League-educated colleagues in my career. One of the brightest and most spot-on guys with whom I ever worked came out of Wharton (btw, Trump graduated from Wharton). Another guy was a management lecturer at Harvard. These guys worked like dogs AND could run circles around most other people.
I also know a massive share of non-Ivy's who were da bomb; they deploy learned lessons exceptionally well, and also work like dogs.
I also know stupid Ivy's and stupid non-Ivy's. It happens. Maybe one day I'll tally it all up and publish the confusion matrix. And maybe my experience differs because I'm in the private sector...your mileage may vary.
I don't doubt the zip code story from LS. I worked in Manhattan which is predominantly lib and this story from The Atlantic is excellent in this regard. However, Conservatives, as a rule, pride themselves on judging people as individuals, by their actions and character. It's what separates us from the mouth-breathing Antifa et al.
“I was always astonished to sit down and interview a prospective job candidate with top academic credentials and a master’s degree from a top school … and learn early in the interview that this person had never once been gainfully employed up to the age of 25 or 26. These people were uniformly unprepared for any type of work environment.”
You just defined most of the faculty at those schools.
Good, huh?
Good, huh?
Yes!
On my own I had come up with my term of the New Elites controlling our country, its various governmental agencies and telling us how to live our lives.
I see them as more dangerous to America and us, than he did when he wrote and updated this book.
Of course, he wrote this book over 10 years ago, and after our recent coup/aka election, it is now very obvious how these elite will continue to try and try to control us.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Dave
LOL
If there is anyone here who has not read an issue of the Harvard Law Review, do so now. Most every article is nonsensical BS, pure worthless tripe. Incomprehensible and pointless. Even case notes which should be as straight as reporting an auto accident. Obits may be the only readable work. Seriously, just try it.
