unfortunate that this practice-relationship comes too late in the development of future engineers. It is then left to an organization that has adifferent primary goal, and is not concerned with education. One frequently hears complaints that engineeringcurricula are too abstract and mathematical. Humanities have been attached to engineering curricula as external contributions from other departments,usually in the form of service courses, and as electives. Contextual connections to engineering and the engi-neering sciences is mostly lacking. Students tend to perceive these courses as unrelated (to engineering) andunimportant trimmings -- hairy (or bald) professors talking around their own pet subjects in a world-remote andisolated way, without
