Engineering Preparation in High School

<p>Chedva </p>

<p>BTW - I fondly remember almost all of my gen ed classes.<br>
I took a course in Arts in Non-Literate cultures where I made a little wine bottle holder. We had to say how it fit into the context of our current popular culture, and I quoted the Chief from “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” where he said that every time he took a drink out of the bottle it took a drink out of him I got a B becasue my artwork was pretty crappy. </p>

<p>I remember learinng about John Nash and the Prisonoer’s Dilemna in an economics course long before “A Beautiful Mind” came out. </p>

<p>I took a course in Spanish literature where we read Ricardo Palma and debated Borges in Spanish. Maybe that’s why I married a Peruvian lady and we still speak primarily Spanish in our house to this day.</p>

<p>I took many more. As a group, they were all valuable. I believe I was enriched by every single one. But if I had missed one or two I honestly don’t think it would have affected my career in any major way. THat’s what I truly believe. </p>

<p>Of course, if I haven’t convinced anyone that I believe life is far more than just career, I probably need to retake those communication and logic/philosophy classes I took.</p>
