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."

    I was gonna say...at Purdue we have a fine EE program for the thinkers, and for the guys who don't make the cut we have a more hands-on EET (EE Technology) Major. Same with MET, ECE... basically every engineering discipline. Why not just let the smart ones go on and let the not-so-quick take the hands-on route?
