Peters is touching on just part (the surface) of what is wrong with our industrial education model and it is broken in the public sector with a few notable exceptions. From the look of the set, it appears part of the Re-Imagine promotional tour. I admire his passion and understand his admonition about the 4.0 student—however, the reality is that to get into some grad programs (say, medicine) something approaching a 4.0 is required. Re-Imagine, the book, is poorly designed which takes away from the informative content—I prefer the "BIG" books he has recently released, which are a distillation of the Re-Imagine ideas.
