Hi All,
Howard's article compares vintage with EMC. As one of the vintage engineers,
I think the problem is really in the conversion from an emphasis on the
ELECTRICAL in E.E. to an emphasis on computers in electrical engineering. Most
engineers who graduate today think of electrons as an anachronism, if they think
of them at all.
As us vintage engineers remember, we were educated when the transition was
occurring from motors, relays and tubes to a solid-state emphasis. We have
performed our engineering job so well that those who practice engineering today
don't worry about solid-state. it just works. We are generally in the same boat
with today's engineers in regard to motor theory because it was being
de-emphasized in our education.
Thanks
Jim Freeman
