MIT Introductory EE Goes Hands-On

Posted by timothy on from the is-that-how-things-should-be dept.

pioneer writes "MIT is looking to replace its introductory core EE (electrical engineering) curriculum with more hands-on classes. MIT Professors Abelson and Sussman discuss the new class, which replaces equations with actual circuit building, tours of electrical plants, and classes taught by famous professors."

    Wow - a hands-on introductory course at MIT in 2003! They must be so ahead of the curve because they're MIT!

    Oh wait, they're not. Hands-on courses like this have been widely available at many public schools for over a decade.

    But of course, MIT undergrad actually did something, so we HAVE to post it. Very unimpressive.
