He can't be a competent engineer if he doesn't understand three-phase power generation and transmission as well. Learning all that was necessary before we could learn electronics in every major engineering school. That was optional at Penn State. I never took it. I didn't say it was. I said ANALOG theory was. Digital of course still has relevance. But every digital device is full of analogue devices. Not only that, but they run so quickly that you need to be highly competent in distributed circuit theory and microwave design techniques. That is true. I was rather surprised on my last project to discover myself modeling analog signals, instead of digital. Oh well. Times change. Perhaps after he has 40-50 years of experience -- Doubtful.
