Awesome. The engineering curriculum is in dire need of an overhaul. I'm finishing up my aerospace engineering degree this spring, and many of my fellow students couldn't find an altimeter in the cockpit if you paid them. Engineering is not applied math, but most schools teach it as such. Therefore, you scare off most of the creative kids with pure theory (math), and graduate a bunch of human calculators that couldn't build an airplane out of Legos. There is ZERO emphasis on independent thought, creativity, or problem solving.
