Should undergraduates be taught Fortran? …

via Newton Excel Bach, not (just) an Excel Blog by dougaj4 from the Eng-Tips Forum

Doug approves of one response which indicated that undergrad engineers should learn, instead of Fortran:

  1. How to spell
  2. How to make an outline of a report before starting to type
  3. How to use Excel the way it's designed
  4. How to turn off MSN while at work
  5. How things in their field of interest are manufactured
  6. How their employers actually generate income and profit
  7. How and where to find which design loads to use
  8. What “design requirements” are
  9. How to work with others
  10. How to talk to clients
