Major Antman plothole: Electrical Engineering degree

Why introduce this point if you're going to have Scott not understand anything Hank said about Quantum Mechanics?
Exposition.
Spelling it out for the kids.
You show it later in the movie.
He learned Engineering, so he probably learned Quantum Mechanics.
He doesn't really do any of the brainy Hank Pym, mechanical stuff. And they don't even go, theoretical stuff that I'm not familiar with. Hank never tries to teach him for whatever reason.
He's not really a geek in any form anyway, being the Gentaro youth and muscle to Kengo's brain.
