Nah, EE's dont. They get divorced theory and math most of the first few years. When we do actually get to build circuits early on, they are to mintutiae-focused on some slew-rate characteristics of an op-amp at a given frequency rather than systemic perspective thinking that is needed in the real world with real applications. To much focus on analysis, nowhere near enough on synthesis. A modern EE education is geared toward training autistic, perspective-deprived drones.

Yes incredibly accurate and its a shame. I did have labs working on breadboards and even IC design but it was literally just following a well defined procedure so you dont screw it up
