I'd be willing to bet that the whole lot contains nothing but recycled creotard canards, just like EE and TDoL.
They sure went out of their way to get good biological information in those things. The link containing information about the authors of the add-ons is quite informative as well. Can engineers get more arrogant than this? | Quote | Charles Henry Voss, Jr. was born of American missionary parents in China. He grew up in Baton Rouge, La. and obtained a B.S. and a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from LSU. His Ph.D. was obtained from North Carolina State University. He retired from LSU as a F. J. Haydel, Jr./ Kaiser Aluminum Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at LSU in 2003 after serving 43 years on the faculty at LSU. His research and publications were in the biomedical area and include heart pacemakers, artificial hearts, hearing aid design, protection for Hansen’s disease patients and bio-telemetry applications.
An engineer, by definition, has to have an intimate knowledge of science. He must have a practical understanding of science since he cannot design a desired object using speculative theories. A degree in an engineering field requires that the student be able to digest, analyze and critique material, examine the different ways that the materials may be used in design and then finally use this information in design. This is what he was trained to do in obtaining a Ph.D. degree and what he has been doing as his job for the past 40 years. As an engineering professor and chairman of the Departmental Curriculum Committee for 29 years it was his responsibility to make sure that this ability was imparted to students.
The laws of physics and mathematics provide the basic building blocks for all branches of engineering. A life scientist who posits a theory which is contrary to the foundational knowledge of physics and mathematics is on shaky ground. He should not be given the assumption of correctness merely because he is a specialist.
