Slashdot Mirror
Olin College — Re-Engineering Engineering
theodp writes "In its College Issue, the NYT Magazine profiles tuition-free Olin College, which is building a different breed of engineer, stressing creativity, teamwork, and entrepreneurship — and, in no small part, courage.

Oooh! Oooh! An exciting new paradigm. Is the world really ready for this exciting new paradigm yet. I bet it isn't!
Well, best of luck to them. My exciting new paradigm of sleeping in until midday every day hasn't caught on in the stoic and unchanging business world. They just haven't caught on to my forward and freethinking ways. But just you wait... my Slashdot story is coming soon!
Courage always helped me build the best bridges!

Only three things are certain; death, taxes, and apocryphal quotations - Ben Franklin.
If you asked law students, they wouldn't even answer until you signed a 300 page dicalaimer ;-)
I will have a sig when the market demands it.
