> So when they're checking airplane parts for quality, do they just rank them all and throw out the worst 40%?

I have no idea about airplane parts, but I would not call an engineering student "perfectly good" if they couldn't make it through an engineering pre-med weeder. The level of technical ability I expect from an engineer is an order of magnitude greater than a doctor. They should be crushing it.




The class I'm thinking of was organic chemistry for civil engineers, so it may have been kind of an edge case anyway.
