Hi Jim,

Your statement above says it all. Yes, likely a senior class project. 
Engineers with little knowledge in everything and not one with a real 
knowledge of anything. I know some MIT grads and other highly educated 
engineers. They are certainly well educated, they have a lot of smarts 
in certain aspects of mechanics, but when it comes to electronic and 
electrical fields, it's amazing what they don't know (they pretend very 
well). They can tell you the basic functions for the workings of say a 
motor, but dive off into RF resonant circuits and their lost. One 
particular MIT individual I had to teach basic properties of relay 
contact physics (this guy we called Golden Boy, because he could do no 
wrong according to management).

The problem is they (and us) specialize in particular fields of 
interest. I think this particular thread is showing that the MIT 
engineers are new to this field. I'm surprised that MIT grads who are 
specialized in RF resonant circuits (and there are plenty who actually 
know RF resonant circuits) have either been ignored or have not said 
anything?

Take care,
Bart
