There is a difference between being book smart or street smart. The combination being a rarity. If one has both, look out now.

I'm guessing you don't have neither one of those qualities.

I don't see the relationship between chemical engineering and critical thinking skills?

Actually critical thinking in fact does come from a liberal philosophic tradition so on that charge, you are correct. The word liberal just as the word conservative has become abused as a result of 20th century politics and statism. Prior too, the word liberal meant something else indeed and without "liberals" the ideal of the origins of America if not America itself would not even exist. Because the current ideal has so corrupted badly the word doesn't mean the word itself is valueless and thus in need of abandonment. I consider the ignorance of the user of the term, on both side of it, rather than the unworthiness of the word.
With all forms of engineering, critical thinking does indeed play a role. In my own world of engineering, in the case of a failure, I use root cause analysis which is a form of critical thinking in order to determine the root cause of a failure. Thus we arrive at a preventative measure and can even go so far to arrive at a possible predictive measure. Moving into predictive engineering makes me one of the few people at UPS whose true job is to discover a means to eliminate my own need. I once left a Corp. PE manager speechless who made the mistake of asking me what the purpose of my job was. His own fallacy of built in assumptions left him vulnerable to what I had to say. Never tell them what they want to hear that just re-enforces their assumptions!
I know someone who has 4 degrees including a degree in economics from Ga. Tech and he drives feeder and did so while earning those 4 degrees. Another feeder who has a degree in education and could be a teacher. I also know a Phd who runs and owns his own tree service because he loves the outdoors and trees. He's also a certified arborist who is helping me try and save my young Red Oak as we speak from a fungal attack.

They have zero critical thinking skills, a basic qualification for being Republican.

You're an anomaly. The fact that you believe in a flawed document like the Bible (your right to do so) indicates you have poor critical thinking skills. There are countless contradictions in the book.

Did they teach courses in Biblical Engineering?

What does your closed minded, race baiting, delusions of superiority, indicate about your critical thinking?

OK, if you say so. When I drive across a bridge, I want it to be designed by someone who deals in fact, not fiction. My feelings are extremely hurt by your microagression (retarded word that ticks-off conservatives) and God complex.

OK. I will tell her you have poor critical thinking skills.
