Damn, I'm an EE and my university wasn't too bad for having a good mix of theory vs practical. But I'm aware a lot of EE courses don't do that.

BTW, are you Australian too?

Nope. I might have been to harsh a bit. My sub-field (controls and automation) is notorious for being poorly documented and most of the tech being very vendor specific. So you learn on the job.

I am sure plenty of the semiconductor EEs will disagree with me.

Ah yeh, fair enough. I didn't do any controls and am. Now having to learn a bit for my job, but I like learning at work. It's more fun than university.
