You can always tell a loser EE grad - he carries around one of those cards that has these formulae on it:

    V = I * R
    I = V / R
    R = V / I
I.e. they don't understand the most basic equation in electronics, nor algebra. But they have EE degrees! Don't ask me how this is possible, I'm as baffled as you are.

When they "design" a circuit, they pull it out of a book. If it doesn't work right, they try randomly varying the values of the components until it sort of works. (Instead of calculating what the correct values should be.)
