When I was in college, I of course, like everyone else had to take history classes.
I share the same sentiment with you on the subject.
I had a history teacher that was only interested in the dates documents were signed and by whom.
As a young engineering student I thought it would be amazingly inspiring to offer those students in the technical disciplines a "technical history" class.
I would have been much more inspired by learning about Tesla, Edison, Ford, Marconi, Einstein, Fermi, etc, etc, etc. It would have brought so much more life to the pages of integrals and matrices that we were learning about in our physics and electronics classes.
