Do you think mechanical engineering should include more business/entrepreneurship training? I absolute do. I had no idea how to cost out a project after college.

There were a lot of real world situations I was absolutely not prepared for after getting my degree and that was one of them. It’s a huge gap that factors into whether projects will have any success or not. Would say that is a missing piece for a lot of industries too. College specifically, a lot of professors are too far detached anymore.

Couldn't agree more

For sure!
