My training is as a mechanical engineer, with an emphasis on jet 
engines. I was fortunate enough to attend a university (Caltech) that 
thoroughly believed that all their sci/eng majors should be well 
grounded in a broad range of fields, and as I've gotten older and wiser 
I see the value in it now.

Caltech requires of all its graduates:

o	3 years of calculus
o	2 years physics
o	1 year chemistry

among other courses.
