Great.
So we know what we want: Interfusion of technical subjects with its
historical roots and connected responsibilites, the ability of a "master
of a discipline" to commute with society in a fruitful way.
We know why we want it: "the technical subjects which are now socially
necessary acquire a humane direction."
And we know what we want to avoid: Fachidiots and jacks of all trade.
Finally there is some evidence that "adding a course in Great Books to the
engineering curriculum" does not fulfill this program.
Any ideas how to fulfill this program? Experiences?
Liebe Gruesse,
