It’s interesting … when I was in school, we had project courses that were VERY useful.
Built a CISC processor, built a Kernel … that was awesome and VERY educational.
Then I did M.Eng. and we had a “sponsored” final project (essentially a real assignment from real life) and I found it to be completely useless.
I feel, education-wise, targeted, simplified, projects are fantastic … “real world” much less so … just my 5c.
Curious where Olin’s projects fit (and HMC’s clinics)
