Transcript:
Dad: How'd you do on your big test? Baldo: I predicted I would get an 'a-plus'! Baldo: If it makes you feel any better, my prediction skills are way worse.
Potrzebie: I’d amend that to any trade school in mechanics and manufacturing techniques, rather than any mechanical engineering curriculum. Engineering curriculums use mathematics as a language to describe the behavior and characteristics of the objects/systems being designed, and then predict the correct sizing and behavior of the finished product.
Poor math skills corresponds to poor engineering curriculum performance.
Prior to the 60s many engineering schools had ‘Industrial arts’ degrees for engineering students that couldn’t hack the mathematics and theoretical parts of an engineering curriculum. My Dad got one about 1950.
Industrial Arts degrees have moved into trade schools and junior colleges now.

A “D” is far from an “A”, Baldo. Next time study and stop predicting.

Amen, Carmy!

Baldo may have strengths elsewhere. HE may have mechanical aptitude. He may ace any school of mechanical engineering!
