Comment on In response to This*: Stop letting engineers get away with social ineptitude

Comments

I know a few universities that are pushing programs to "fix" this problem in engineers by encouraging them to do more presentations and group projects.

It seems like there will always parts of "geek culture" that just don't care. Perhaps they're even proud of social ineptitude? But those aren't engineers I would want to work with.

Yeah, although the ones that are less capable in group dynamics usually just bail, making the others do the work.

Where I saw the most exercising of social skills, involved cheating.
