Crap, what are they teaching engineers these days?
I'm not sure but it isn't electronics as you and I know it !
Some yrs ago I was the liaison guy between my client ( a UK audio manufacturer
) and Salford University who run a specialist electronic course in the
electro-acoustic area. We ended up offering them a one-year placement for one
of their students since they like to keep industry ties active. Indeed we were
going to repeat the exercise to but then the company was placed in a situation
where it had to cease trading.
Whilst I was at Salford, I saw some of their labs and work assignments. One
was a mic pre-amplifier. I had to point out to the lecturer who was their
liaison guy with me that it was actually an instrumentation amplifer they
were learning about !
I had other occasions to criticise the student's level of relevant tuition (
but the student himself was pretty ok I should add ). This lecturer sighed and
admitted their electronics lecturer was more into heavy electrical so what did
you expect ?
I doubt that the skill of discrete design is taught at all these days.
