I'm not so sure they teach ANYTHING anymore. Hell, when I was in high school (and some of my college classes) some of the curriculum definitely bordered on the "This is teaching?" line.

Excluding a few majors, college is so you get a paper that says, "I can follow rules, memorize some stuff, & show up regularly".

The learning portion depends on your level of effort put in.

Yup. That's them.

They deal with Motorcraft, Delco and a ton of other stuff. When a Ford dealer orders stuff they order a lot of it directly from Papco.

Depending the teacher. I had some crazy tough professors in my day, lol a year ago. My senior project was $%^&en crazy. Weekly JAD and prototype meetings with presentations, hella independent work, then group work, then a filmed presentation in a studio. I was shaking in front of the camera.

Before I 8itched out to CIS, a business degree, I was ME (Mechanical Engineering) then CS (Computer Science). Both kicked my *** so hard with the workload and devotion levels. Being in a social fraternity, which is opposite of an academic fraternity, helped me not care about switching to classes with girls in it and group projects, hello business school.

But my major graduated with a $hit brown tassel. WTF!
