npub1gfdrrw9629qxwvwaa3vwnvzhtaqu2c5m9wf6vcwjnmdnhs7hl4jsux7gg6 (npub1gfd…7gg6) I tell this story a lot, but:
my dad was a designer of naval nuclear reactor shielding (& later manager of a shielding group). Recruited a lot of people, mostly mathematicians, over the years. & he came to believe the best candidates were from small 4 yr schools with strong distribution requirements. Engineering school ("schools with letters for names - MIT, RPI, etc) grads 'don't think as well' as kids from, say, Sienna College.
