@baumwoll Vast majority have never taken classes in electrical engineering that include Electrical Circuit Theory, Electrical Measurements, or Wiring Diagrams classes. Few years ago, one of the biomedical engineering faculty members told me, there is no need to teach sophomores Thevenin's and Norton's theorems because they are never going to need it. I can see in near future use of geometry, trigonometry, algebra getting the same treatment. It is all now in the computer. You give the input parameters and computer gives you "what it thinks you want." But they lack the knowledge how to get there. So there you have it. For an old hack like me who spent hours and hours learning and then teaching these subjects face an uphill task convincing the masses what is true and what is not.
Glad you found some of us still around. One of my teachers/mentors passed away few years ago, Dr. Aram Budak who wrote several text books in EE. He would have gotten a good chuckle if he saw some of these posts describing audible differences in cables, fuses, etc. He retired to Grand Tetons, WY of all places. Until his very last breath, he could get a great view of the Tetons from his living room. He loved music and his favorite was Richard Strauss. His final request to the family was to play Death and Transfiguration at his funeral.
