Back when we went to the moon engineers and technical personnel used slide rules. Also engineers received shop training as part of their coursework in college. To use a slide rule required you to develop "number sense" to become proficient at calculating quickly. The slide rule itself is fairly easy to use as seen here and in the attached PDF:

As a result the engineers had a real feel for the numbers that they were calculating as well as the relationships between different variables. In contrast, look at the current crop of engineering students that we have today and you cannot deny that they are much lower quality people than the engineers of the past.
