In the first 5 minutes of an EE's education, the following quotation
should
appear on the blackboard -


"When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in
numbers
you know something about it. But when you cannot measure it, when you
cannot
express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory
kind. It may be the beginning of knowledge but you have scarcely in your
thoughts advanced to the state of science."

: William Thomson, Lord Kelvin, 1824-1907.


Un-culled kids inhabitting the sewers of Rio-de-Janerio, never having
heard
of Thomson, are better educated.


Outlandish educational claim. Evidence, Reg?
