While others are busy discussing Trump versus Cruz or cellulose in/on cheese, I'd rather discuss edumakation. Being retired, I don't have much need for Systems Engineering refreshment, but some of you might. So to go along with another post about the high pay for engineers, tada. Refreshment education. Enjoy.

Thanks so much. I’m sorta retired at 62. But given my mother is 90 and still going strong,I’m not seeing much purpose in sitting on my ass for the coming 30 years, so updating my mech engr skills seems great right about now.

Wonder how this will fit with the continuing education requirements for licensure. Though, I think most people who actually work in these areas do not get their PE license. Florida just upped the continuing ed hours to 18 credits every two years.

Just what the tech world needs, more damn certs.

So, is the purpose to help American engineers/STEMs get or keep their jobs or to fully qualify the H1B imports that take their place?

At one time, the Nobel Prize conveyed an honor upon its recipients. No longer.

At one time, to be associated with NASA would have been an honor for an engineer. No longer.

American corporations are getting big into this STEM business.

The educational system is being altered from the top down. The companies are developing programs that output what they need

I thought this was the number one mission of NASA

I don't know about Boeing or Nasa anymore but I've recently gotten to work with several MIT educated engineers and all of them, every one, is stone cold brilliant. That place is no joke!

Technically they worked for me but they were way smarter so I had to make up techno babble just to not seem like a moron around them. "Maybe we could try to sinterate some cryon persulfamate and use it to reverse the polarity of a nyad pulse converter. What, you never learned that technique? Man, they don't teach you kids much these days"
