Does that make any sense to you or just a face saving tactic and something to shamelessly cling onto?

When you are ready you can show the whole qorld an example of computer chip being repaired or fixed with any form of tools. You are ITbomb afterall.

Seems comprehension is the bigger problem, so let me see if I can make it simpler
For the last time,
You don't repair a computer chip, you replace it
The chip is a unit in the computer system, if a computer is faulty, you identify the unit that is causing the problem and replace it.
In repairing the whole computer system, you replace the faulty component or unit.

Same applies to a vehicle, if the engine is not firing well, find the fault. If it is the plug, you replace the plug NOT repair.
And this troubleshooting to pinpoint the unit causing issue and recommending a fix should not be a problem for a well trained engineer
Decoupling, replacing and coupling back is the work of the technician.

An engineer being trained in the design should be able to identify the fault straight from school but a mechanic needs years of experience with various parts, engines and engineers to be able to do same

You are obviously deeply ignorant of where engineering starts or ends.
What you just described is troubleshooting of PC(desktop or laptop) and not even computers in the real sense. A+ and N+ certifications cover those and they are not in anyway related to undergraduate or post graduate curriculum in Computer Engineering. CompTIA used to the umbrella body regulating those two certifications if i correctly. It has no link to lecturing in a univeristy in CE department.

Same logic applies to ME too. The average 2025 vehicle is electric propelled or is so electrically integrated to provide more features. Please go ahead and riddle me a little, what will a professor of ME be doing under the hood of such vehicles?

The principles taught by university professors in ME revolves around designs of mechanical systems generally and not just vehicles or automobiles. It could be the mechanism of a button on a computer, a hand-propelled food processor, a farm tool, an harvester, a machine for producing other things, a padlock mechanism, a cast for making new parts and shapes, a rig to extract a unique resoures like hydrogen, a mould to make USB cables or electronic appliance case. The range is wide so why associate a professor with roadside mechanic of all things that appeals as mechanical to you? Why?

To further cure your ignorance, CE in university doesn't teach repair or troubleshooting of PCs. They teach things like logic gate, communications and data processing, low filter and high filters, number system and digital electronic foundations logic elements(And, Or, Nand, Nor, Xor), computer architecture and models, intro to machine language and more. They may mention RAM, HDD, Northridge Southbridge, processor, ALU, cache, I/O, ROM sparsely but never focus on how to identify fault in any of the above.

You have a very long long way to go ITbomb. I hope you dont blow things up for real in your IT bombing career? Chai...

ITbomb:


You dont repair, you replace.
The key is finding where the fault is and recommending the fix. Nobody is asking you to manufacture as a level one and trained engineer, that is a specialised skill

You want to replace iPhone's chip ke?

From where? How? With what?

Not everything is replaceable hence roadside technician would tell you the motherboard has burnt when actually, an irreplaceable component on the motherboard got burnt.

Engineers apply principles formulated by scientists and researchers to create a solution for a problem.
When I create a solution for a problem, I can fix whatever fault that comes up in that solution.

In order to fix faults in solutions created by other people, I have to learn about their solution first. This is what the roadside mechanic or technician does. An internal combustion engine was invented. Different manufacturers added extra components to optimize their design for their specific need.

As an engineer, you learn how the original engine was made and how it works. You can't be taught all the variations that has been made to it. That's where you have technicians and mechanics that specialize.

Thats also why a uni professor will try his best not to associate his lectures with designs by brands or business entities. It is unprofessional. Some people dont it their wrongdoings for no reason. He appears one of such.

I wonder what a professor will do under an electric vehicle or electric tractor?
