The Birth of a Hands-On Education

  • Coming to life in the 1970s with then-instructor Professor Emeritus Woodie Flowers at the lead, 2.007 was at the forefront of a revolution in engineering education, becoming one of the first hands-on classes to teach students not only how to design an object but also how to build it. Today, it’s a fun celebration of making that ends in an annual head-to-head robot competition on MechE’s Innovation Day in May.

    I started using the lath machines, huge machine cutters, benders, trimmers and many other heavy machines since I was 12 years old. It is amazing what you can do with them. What is more amazing is when you dress intelligent electronics inside your mechanical creation - this can be truly fascinating. My dad had a factory and this is where I learned how to use those big machines, I then graduated as electrical engineer - it is God's blessing to learn and build great things for life.

    Does MIT, at some point, teach these students WHY things would seem to work perfectly in theory but fail when they built it? If they spend so much time learning theory, why is theory insufficient? I wonder whether they show examples of past student projects, and real world devices, and explore what worked and didn't work (and why).

    I've been telling people for 30 years the only way to learn is to do. Thanks higher education for making it nearly impossible to make a living with your hands these days, then tell people how important it is to be hands on. I didn't go to college and ended up homeless. Now I'm in school, getting less intelligent, so I can earn a living wage. It's obvious school is basically there to get people in debt and on the hamster wheel. Academia hasn't brought forward what they said they would. We are a weak, unintelligent nation because of higher education or as I like to call it "indoctrination". The fact someone with a degree makes more than someone with 20 years experience is utterly asinine, but here we are.
