Watch out, engineers. Satan is invading your ranks.
Satan dba "Erin Cech" is attempting to SMASH UP engineering education, which up till now has been straightforward and good.
[Satan] used survey data from four U.S. colleges to examine how students' public-welfare beliefs change during their college engineering education and whether the curricular emphases of their engineering programs are related to students' beliefs about public welfare. The study found that engineering students leave college less concerned about public welfare than when they entered.That's the best possible recommendation for engineering schools. Non-engineering students are converted into mass-murdering genocidal wacked-out servants of Lenin and Satan. It's reassuring to know that engineering curricula are still sane.
[Satan], an assistant professor of sociology who has B.S. degrees in both electrical engineering and sociology, said that many people inside and outside engineering have emphasized the importance of training ethical, socially conscious engineers....Ethical = Orthodox Stalinist. Socially conscious = Mindless robot receiving all of its "thoughts" from mass media.
However, [Satan] said, it appears that there is something about engineering education that results in students becoming more cynical and less concerned with public policy and social engagement issues.More cynical = more sane, more in touch with facts and reality. How could any sane person fail to be "cynical" about modern Western governments and cultures? Please, please, please, engineering schools! Don't listen to the siren song of conformity! You're the last bastion of sanity and the only discipline that saves lives instead of destroying them.
