Why aren't more engineering courses taught in a hands-on setting?

At my college, 90% of #engineering classes are based on #theory. A common belief is that you will only end up using a tiny portion of all that knowledge once you reach the workplace, and instead employees end up learning most their skills on the job. This makes the burden of college seem useless, aside from providing students with a piece of paper that proves they attended. #teaching #education #curriculum

What is one thing that college DOES NOT teach you for your career?

College provides you with the set of knowledge and skills in order to succeed in your career. 4 years of experience sets you up for life, but some things must be missed. Simply put, it would be great to be enlightened about what college does or cannot teach students for their career. Please share your thoughts! #career-advice #skills #information #curriculum #reflection
