Because no one else thinks like us. We're not taught to memorize and regurgitate, we're taught to solve problems and work effectively in teams. This is not limited to technical material.
Have you since changed majors? If not, what year are you in? What university? What classes have you taken? Do you have job experience through internship/co-op? Are you involved in extra curricular teams like Baja/Formula SAE/HPVC/AIAA AERO/others? Have you ever had to work with a non-engineering student in a gen-Ed class? It's painful. Now imagine doing that at work. Still painful.
