Ok I'm taking your bait. But I have to assume he meant this as in "it should be widely studied by all educated people" like liberal arts used to be.

Of course he goes on about how engineers wants understand basic differential equations without immediate spoon fed applications. The absolute state of these brainlets

>Engineering

>Well educated

You have to make a choice user

God damn this board is stupid, Liberal Arts was once the degree program that gave an individual a well rounded education making them diverse in their skills. Now, since the world is moving towards a STEM world, an engineering degree has replaced the Liberal Arts degree. Engineers, despite what this brainlet board thinks, are the most well-rounded individuals in STEM. They have basic knowledge in every STEM area imaginable. A math major is better at math than an engineer but an engineer is better than a math major in chemistry.

but why give a shit about being well rounded, theres a reason specialization is important.

And why the hell would an engie be any better at chem than a math major

>And why the hell would an engie be any better at chem than a math major
Because they take more chem classes than math majors.

>but why give a shit about being well rounded, theres a reason specialization is important.
lol no try doing real life work without being well rounded
extreme specialization is only important in academia ie. the antipodal to the real world

>lol no try doing real life work
the cry of the brainlet engie

real life work isnt what advances society. focusing on "real life" work wouldn't have decided to build the LHC. "real life" work wouldn't have made math.
