"Hi Simon,   I am not in the PCB design industry, but I am in the manufacturing arena for them.  I always wondered what those people were thinking when they came up with some of the designs we are asked to build.  We build mostly for…"

Simon Farnell replied to Leslie Langnau's discussion What do you wish you had learned in college to prepare you for the real world?
"I think education and real work experience should work together much more. I've found that many of the things I've been taught at college, I've never used. But real work experience would lead to young people being more readily…"

Many would think that being an engineer would prepare you for the way that technology enables us to do things, like fitting more into a smaller space, the speed that we can process information and even some of the technologies that are becoming more and more available, like nano technology.

 

But guess what…It doesn’t.
