Engineering school for me was mostly about learning how to learn, getting some baseline knowledge to know what questions to ask or where to start looking for answers, and broadening my horizons. Those have a ton of value for me.
Having gone through heavily interdisciplinary education, with focus on hard sciences, I absolutely agree. My educational experience in sound production, scientific instrumentation, and cultural studies have really improved my ability to think of things abstractly, effectively communicate, and come up with novel solutions to technical problems.
