Im an engineer also but I got a minor in history. Ive taken a few of Hillsdale Colleges free online courses and recommend them highly. Ive even paid for a couple. My favorite was Mathematics and Logic: From Euclid to Modern Geometry. The courses on the Constitution are invaluable.

I too believe a classical education is important. I think it should start in grade school. Our entire education system need to be reworked. I do see ZerroDefex point though too. We shouldnt be giving degrees concentrating in say Womens Studies, but that type course work should be worked into a larger framework of classical study.

The biggest problem with our education system is we dont teach kids how to think properly. A classical education teaches these things. Thats why I loved the Mathematics and Logic class. Geometry teaches you how to think logically.

As an aside you can purchase Pocket Constitutions in bulk from Hillsdale. I leave stacks at the desk in the local Libraries and donate them to HS and middle school history and government classes. Ive been known to leave a small stack next to the guest book at weddings and funerals too. I put them in with graduation and birthday cards. Kinda annoys my wife sometimes but Ive always though its valuable if I can get through to even one person.
