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.

You really have no idea about what happens in universities do you?
