About This Quote
Some people prefer to study theoretical knowledge. For example, they may take math classes in college. However, when it comes time to apply their knowledge, they find themselves unable to solve problems that were covered in the theoretical classes. This is because the practical knowledge they learned in class was not transferable.
It is important for students to understand that both types of knowledge are valuable. However, when it comes time to decide which type of knowledge to focus on, engineers should know that practical knowledge is more valuable than theoretical knowledge.
