Electrical and electronic are now very different fields and have
been
for a
very long time.

Only in jumped up technical colleges where its not to be expected
that
you will be taught to think for yourself.

********!! Snotty uni attitude again. Snotty uni's don't teach
properly,
as they give all the top jobs to themselves, so why know about
something
useful.

The ordinary degree at cambridge is in engineering only.

Covering everything from building bridges via heat engines to
electronics.

Madness!!!! I can just see a board designer, saying "the next job is
doing
a bridge". get real.

Why? we had to design a bridge in the first year engineering course.
When I look back it was more about engineering in tolerances and
producing the most cost effective solution for a given problem, which
is
very important in engineering.

Real life engineering is very much about efficient solutions to
problems, the principles travel across the various disciplines

SO was this the Humber bridge you all designed?


Let's see now. It seems to me that we are up to at least four people
now who know the concept that different facets of technology and
engineering have a common basis.

That is obvious. It is taught at base level. Then in a degree it is honed.
The snot uni did not hone it.

Your horizon appears to be very close by.

You have demonstrated that you lack basic common logic.
