Something I've wondered about is how people learn
to build and run the
large data centers that now exist. Are there engineering courses in
this now, or is it a 'trade skill'?
There used to be (perhaps still are, but I haven't needed the info)
companies that taught classes on computer room design and/or data center
design in the large, often in the guise of "disaster planning". These
were actually accredited classes which offered Continuing Education Units
to those who cared about such things.
So while much of it was "trade skill", there were places to get a leg up
on the issues.
