I'm an honor student majored in aerospace engineering in a top tier university but I don't feel like I understand fundamental physical concepts like Prandtl-Meyer expansion fan in the same level as a real man of science.

Feels like my education has boiled down to just know how this specific professor teaches the course then develop elaborate methods specifically to get high grades in this professor's course, and only remember the concepts I studied in his course vividly afterwards.

I apologize for blog posting but I feel like this is common for a lot of BSc students nowadays where they just grind grades and don't actually care to get in depth with the science they are learning.
