This is about making an electric leaf blower even quieter. The students were not given a gas leaf blower to design around.

For the people not reading the article. This is not about gas leaf blowers.

The challenge was to take an electric leaf blower and make it even quieter.

Good engineering and industrial design programs find opportunities for students to work with real companies on real products.

Back in the day I used to be the student that published stuff like this to our product design department’s website. The point wasn’t to demo tech or sell a product, it was to make the program look like something worth applying to and donating to.

If a brand was name dropped, it wasn’t because we wanted to sell their thing. It was because we wanted to let applicants and alumni know that we were offering real world experience with recognizable companies. It’s basically like a reverse internship. Department faculty finds companies to bring to the students, as opposed to students applying to companies.

IMHO, the thing that’s being promoted here isn’t the leaf blower. It’s the university’s engineering program and the opportunities it’s providing for students.

I kind of doubt someone has this University blog post in their deck of Spring 2024 leaf blower marketing initiatives.

This is the kind of stuff that the people managing internships handle in a company. Companies do this for talent acquisition. They don’t even do it for the cheap labor, because coaching students usually gobbles up a lot of your IC’s time.

A spirt visited me and told me this.

Luckily that spirt read the article and watched the video in it.

Reminds me of my high school buddy who was in a family with 8 kids. Every closet in that house became a bedroom.

The worst part is that he was saying this to a bunch of women who just graduated with degrees. He’s basically telling them all to give up after putting in 4+ years of work. This guy is a total shit bag.

This dude was moderately holding it together before, but he’s not stable now. He throws tantrums and makes completely impulsive decisions that are not grounded in data. The board needs to push him out.
