I got my chemical engineering degree about 18 years ago. The professor teaching process control decided not to teach Laplace transforms because some students couldn'tt handle it I confess I was one of those. Sounds like things have totally fallen off the rails. I just don't want to drive on any Bridges that these students are going to be building in the future, CAD or no CAD. That's kind of a facetious remark because this is designed to ensure a supply of unskilled labor in a market where automation is going to be dominant. It sounds like criminal neglect to me.
