I still think Social Psychology was one of the most useful classes I ever took in college. Sure some if it is probably dated by now but the cognitive biases theories really helped me further in life. I remember telling some class mates to take the class and they assumed it was for an easy A and not for how useful the class would be (and I went to a GaTech a long time ago and well the social sciences were just not respected like engineering disciplines at the time).

As a fellow Georgia Tech grad, I wholeheartedly concur. The course on Political Philosophy was not only one of the most challenging classes, but also the most useful in daily life. It really changed how I think about the world--so much so that I decided to to double major in international affairs/modern languages. It's a pity that the social sciences/liberal arts aren't as respected at engineering schools. Those courses were equally enriching (if not more so) to my life as combinatorics, differential equations, and quantum mechanics.
