The Birth of a Hands-On Education

[@ABC-gj1xb]

I prefer this type of teaching. Letting student to fail and succeed, unlike to most school where they just base your capability on sheet paper

[@danaililiev1404]

after 200 years the schools have realized they need to implement practice...

[@rayanbehr209]

also but most time should still be spent on the drawing board or fundamental principles

[@sevendesign1805]

It's starts with the individual. We have an opportunity today like never before. The information learned in this video is available now free. I've had opportunity to build some crazy stuff with just passion and KZbin.

[@sushantsrivastava7013]

MIT considered this point of "implementing practice" , very early .... and great People Professor Emeritus Woodie gave it a boost

[@mhgscrubadub9917]

@@rayanbehr209 That is 100% false. Its important but if you spend most of your time on it youll lose a lot of knowledge you could have found doing something

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.

[@shankarwain4289]

Some people are unable to join MIT , I wish even small engineering colleges have such programs ! There are many mechanical minded people who never get to join prestigious institutions ! That's why!

[@vnaveenkumar982]

Who else got this video as recommendation after 6 years, and the craziest part is people are even debating about this concept !

[@erikk6604]

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).

[@hud86]

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.

[@grizzsimbol4441]

Mechanical engineers doing programming? In the professional world, we have programmers to do that with so much more skill. As for hands-on skills, we got technicians with not only years of experience but higher skills to do that. ME should focus on machine designs + physics understanding, not these unnecessary skills, it's good to have but the experts can do the job better.

[@byttlejuice145]

This is all about hands on learning. It makes you more aware of how things work than in theory, hence if you are a designer, making you a better one.

[@grizzsimbol4441]

@@byttlejuice145 no it doesn't. Design gets better with experience and each iterations of your designs based on feedback from more experienced workers like your technicians and customers .

Agree with you Grizz, engineering should focus on machine design and the understanding of phsyics. Things that are going to be useful. Not this hands-on stuff.
