If so, I'd change my Major to Physical Education or Basket weaving.....
I won't. I'm studying to become an Electrical Engineer. Should my studies include how to build a house despite the fact that has nothing to do with what my job will be?

Anyone can build a house....
Edit: Sorry Phlababit, I didn't see that you just said that. We must be on the same wavelenth (sinusoidal I think). 😉
Originally posted by chancremechanicYes I learn a hell of a lot of math (more than most other engineering disciplines), however this is directed at solving problems related to electronics. Laplace transforms for solving differential equations, Fourier analysis to deconstruct frequency signals, Linear Algebra to solve equations with many unknowns and so on.

I did learn mechanics last year but really it was pretty basic stuff. I wouldn't want to use it to design a house. Follow plans? Yeah that's nothing more than being able to read and follow instructions. Design? That requires a lot of analysis dedicated to whether this beam or that strut will be carrying too much weight. I'm not learning those skills as they aren't relevant to me.
