Its not a problem. We can always bring in engineers from overseas.
The way things are looking, it's the only way to find someone with a real education.
Engineering only cares about results...really. i bet countless minorities throughout history disagree...
Are some minorities unqualified?? Hell yes...but what about all the ones that wereand never had a chance...
I find this Engineering Educamation vector to be, at a minimum, a milliagression.
One thing I always respected about engineers is no matter who you were, no matter how far up the corporate ladder you had gotten, no matter how many people agreed with you, you’d never get one to say 2+2 can equal anything but 4...period.
Today’s graduates: not so much.
I do notice that in many countries engineers are much more admired and have a much higher status than here.
"I seek to revise engineering curricula to be relevant to a fuller range of student experiences and career destinations, integrating concerns related to public policy, professional ethics, and social responsibility; de-centering Western civilization; and uncovering contributions of women and other underrepresented groups…. We examine how technology influences and is influenced by globalization, capitalism, and colonialism…. Gender is a key…[theme]…[throughout] the course…. We…[examine]… racist and colonialist projects in science….”Henceforth, I sure don't want to fly in airplanes or drive over bridges designed by Purdue grads.
That's because Liberals and minority grievance groups attack that which they cannot master or perform.
Engineering and medicine were the last holdouts against a college and university system that surrendered to cultural Marxism.
And now STEM has surrendered as well.
Simple:
Don’t study engineering in the West, apparently. And don’t hire those that do.
You can’t cheat the laws of physics. Eventually the affirmative action engineers lack of merit will out, and things will break and stop working.
The law of gravity needs to be diversified and made more socially responsible.
It is indeed a great insult to engineers, but I’d not worry. Any person capable of passing the true science part of the curricula (e.g. NONE of the social “science” crap) easily will see through the BS being spread by the low IQ left part of the Bell Curve. They will pretend to listen, then subsequently file the worthless drivel into the bit bucket.
The social science crowd has been, is, and always will be laughed at by their mental superiors.
Sorry, but dat’s the way ‘tis.
I graduated from the University of Arizona College of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering in 1978. The professors we had actually worked in the private sector prior to teaching, most of them were WWII veterans. My advisor was a Naval Aviator who flew airships. I got a great education that served me well. Unfortunately, those days are gone forever.
As I posted on a thread about affirmative action:
The fluid in the pipe at the chemical plant doesn’t care if the plant engineer is black or white, male or female. It does not take race, gender, or sexual orientation into account. If the pressure and temperature of the fluid is wrong, the plant blows up and people die. It’s not being racist, sexist or homophobic. It is going to do what various natural laws demand will happen. It is truly “blind” to any sort of bigotry or prejudice.
Either you know what you are doing or the plant blows up. Period.
There is no room for “social engineering” in the real engineering fields.
The recently appointed 'dean' of Purdue's 'school of engineering education', Dr. Donna Riley apparently is ignorant of the fact that math, physics and chemistry pay no respect to political correctness. Math and scientific engineering are correct or the structure fails.
As a parent of a Purdue engineering student, it seems safe to assume Donna is/was not a successful 'stem' graduate climbing the academic ladder. With any luck that glass ceiling will come crashing down on her PC 'open mindedness' ASAP.
If only there was more melanin and more estrogen in science, engineering classes wouls have been way easier. We could have gotten rid of all the math, and thermodynamics would have had only one or at most two stupid laws to memorize
