In thinking about this thread... It's as good an example of the many avenues of social engineering the last administration used to try to forward their agenda as any, this one being a bit more obvious than some of the others. There historically were issues in engineering programs that created limitations, the tools, the curiculums, the faculties and professional accreditation. All of us are familiar with the tendency of engineers to be liniar thinkers as an example however many approaches have been put in place to expand their perspective ie. design process, STEM programs, even development of computer interfaces. It is both discouraging and yet transperant that someone in this persons position chose racism and sexism to be the focus of her diatribe.
The big irony to me is that she comes out of Perdue... The"Boiler Makers", that references a time when homes and buildings were heated with boiler/radiator systems a potentially volital mechanism if not done correctly. While it involved engineering the installation was equally critical. Thes folks were boiler makers, a trade that came out of guilds and apprenaships often referred to as an art form although it was the product of a very rigorous and disaplined process.
CSB That is very interesting, I never saw the final adjudication malpractice rates and civil actions come to mind.
SF BHT Right on the money to a big degree, I saw a lot of that in my own program... Which was supposedly one of the better ones described by many as a weed out program... As they say and is often the case ," Those that can't teach".
