Yes knowing a bit about the engineering and Physics of what your doing is something they do not seem to teach much in colleges and on courses any more. Its all question and answers about certain scenarios but if you do not know the engineering and Physics it is hard to work out the answers to any new questions that come up. I think the main problem is simply lack of time and payment for getting people past exams. I suppose it would tend to make for only teaching people how to answer set questions not wider subject understanding. It is partly why I would advise newbies to read the first history of the appliance's they want to work on. How a boiler started from a simple kettle up to the modern age. Especially a history that explains what and why things like thermocouples were invented and how they are made and work and how control is integrated onto a pcb.
Its fascinating, but slow!
