Hmm... I'm curious - what's the text book prescribed at AU for the
Economics course? We had:

the text, and it is one of the most lucidly written textbooks I have
ever had the pleasure to read.
What the original article implies (and seems to have been missed in
this thread) is that the student should take the initiative to learn
Economics. It is after all, a fascinating subject whose principles are
so simple that they can be mastered with a few hours of reading.
Lastly, learning a bit of macroeconomics will help you understand the
economic forces that are causing point #6, why "all the jobs are going
to India".
Apart from Economics, I'd add Statistics to the list of "must-learn"
subjects at engineering college.
an engineering college, you can never expect a PhD with philosophy to teach
it, and we get people who were never passionate about those subjects to
teach it.
Ah. The advantages of studying in an IIT, where every faculty member
is a PhD. Subjects like Psychology, Metallurgy etc. can all be
fascinating if taught by the right kind of person.
