This encouragement wasnot really necessary, because most came to terms with their geekness before graduating fromhigh school and naturally chose those career paths out of a love of technology.Ancient geek culture developed in this way partly because electronic technology was accessibleto any curious person. The parts (resistors, capacitors, transistors, tubes, etc.) were large enoughto easily see and handle, and circuits (like the classic five-tube radio) were relatively simple.Expensive test equipment could be done without, or could be borrowed from an Elmer.

To this end, it is generallyrecognized in the academic environment that an introductory course in EE should be offered tothe non-electrical engineering (non-EE) students.
