[EPISODE TITLE – large, stylized] An Introduction to Engineering and a Glob of Hair Gel
The episode follows Sheldon as he enrolls in his very first engineering class at East Texas Tech. His instructor, (played by the late Lance Reddick ), proves to be a formidable adversary. Unlike Sheldon’s previous teachers, Boucher is unimpressed by Sheldon's precociousness and repeatedly tears up his bridge-building assignments for being "wrong" without offering specific guidance. This academic friction, combined with a brief but hilarious voiceover cameo from Howard Wolowitz ( Simon Helberg ), solidifies Sheldon’s lifelong belief that engineering is a "lesser" science. young sheldon s05e07 1080p hd
