What do we take away from a course?

How do we judge whether a course we have taken is of value ,in a field like engineering, where we what I learn today changes tomorrow( I am not talking about the basic principles but advanced applications). These are the metrics against which I decide whether a particular course is successful:
1. Has this course pushed my mental limits?
2. Has this course added a new dimension to my thought process?
3. If I knew I would never use what is taught in the course( which is almost always the case),would I still take it?

3 Yes's and the course is definitely worth it.
