So your 20 years batteries would sit completely exhausted for the whole
month of Decemebr and part of January?

Maybe get rid of the Superman costume and come back to earth. Possibly give
that braincell back to Steve and let him spam the group on his own too.

Most anyone with a serious pv setup have a back up genny to recharge
batteries in time of low sunshine, so your argument is pretty much
bull...........

Nope, they really don't.

I got to chat with the school's EE chair once. He said, about 30
years ago, people like me (kids who stuck screwdrivers into radios)
were common (he was one himself), so there was a lot of curriculum
they could test out of, or heck maybe even in those days it was just
"you know ohm's law? sure, you can skip this prerequisite".

No money in the degree if they allow you to test out of courses.

But nowadays, that's a lot less common (probably less than 10%), and
the certifications are more stringent, and the bureaucracy more
impersonal, so I'm doomed to sit in classes alongside students who
don't know the right end of the soldering iron.

In fairness, most will never need to touch a soldering iron. I've
worked with many who haven't into any sort of lab since college. There
is a lot more to EE, these days, than PCBs.

Not that the classes are very useful anyway. I'm in a control systems
class right now. I still don't know what the hell 1/(s+2) is. I know
full well what 1 / (s + 1/RC) is, but see, that's not what they
teach. It's just more numbers, run the algebra and find the answer.

That is an issue. Laplace should be taught after there is a sound
circuits understanding. They never taught Gregg before English.

Who cares which way it goes with respect to something like frequency.
Academia is all about abstraction, because it's an escape from
reality, and algorism (Laplace transforms, etc.) because it's easy.
No one teaches practical stuff, and no one teaches the holistic point
of view.

Nah, an "algorism" is:

"I'm always right, no matter how the facts turn out."

This is excellent. Lots of ancient instrumentation is failing or out

Some academics want to abstract the math away from real circuits.
That's why it's so good to come into these classes with some real
circuit experience and instincts. Then lightbulbs turn on for you
while the rest of the class doesn't notice.

But most circuit designers can learn all they need about control
theory in one day.

That is an issue. Laplace should be taught after there is a sound
circuits understanding. They never taught Gregg before English.

Spice has eliminated the need for most analytic solutions to control
loops. Most good loops are nonlinear anyhow, so were never solvable
analytically. The best combo is good instincts and LT Spice.

It was probably his attitude.

That "everyone but me is a leftist weenie" mentality is pretty
blatantly apparent. Probably more so in person.

I would not want to be taught by such a twit either.

They probably called some of his former employers and got a handle of
his "people skills"... or lack thereof.
