Fullblast.
Believe it or not, I am an aeronautical engineer and I do know what subjects that a degree student has to study, because I have done them. I've got a bit of paper to prove it.
I'm also a licensed engineer (can I call myself that?) who has been certifying (certifiable?) for over 20 years, which has given me a warped view of life in general. Forgive my coarse/p*** taking tone, I don't mean to offend.
Having said that, just because someone is studying for a degree doesn't mean to say that you have to avoid the bleedin' obvious or that they are untouchable, or in some way beyond criticism due to their perceived higher academic status.
There can be a tendancy to over complicate matters in all walks of life, not just amongst 2nd year degree aeronautical engineers.
