Cool, i played a ton of paintball in the decade spanning 1998 to 2008, and was always a bit of a cocker fanatic.

I still have my Ripper-Milled cocker. It was from the first the very first batch in 99

You are thinking of scientists.


Engineers cheat and just use look-up tables (!!)

When I took ME classes, it was called "semi-empirical."

Good post tho - I like the purposeful mis-spelling of support to make us all think you are an engineer (or an IT guy).

My first ex-wife is a Ph.D. mechanical engineer.

Did I mention she's an ex?

well Im glad you caught my joke........it was intended to be arrogant/satire

Im a nice guy and not a bit arrogant. You had me feeling guilty for a split second about my sarcastic response to your thread. However, then I remembered I wasn't the one that started a thread to generalize and criticize a large group of people

Helicoptors don't fly, they beat the air into submission.

I am really that bad at spelling, amung the worst!

agree 100% and fixed it for you

I've been lucky to work with some very clever engineers, three stand out head and shoulders to the rest of the crowd.

They were all humble guys, easy to deal, would not accept anything but the best no matter how hard it was to achieve and were super focused on what was important

They knew what they were doing as their technical leadership racked up over 20 F1 World Championship titles between them.

I've worked with a lot of good engineers and most of these don't tend to suffer fools which to a bull$hitter could be perceived as arrogance.

I have also worked with a whole lot of arrogant guys who spent their time telling people what they knew rather than trying to understand what they didn't know.

spoken like a true scientist

Heck, that is well stated.

Because we can end the world as you know it...we designed it...we can end it.

You're giving away our best secret!

I didn't say "how." :D

The only good engineer to marry is a civil engineer.

I kind of suspected that. It was just too perfectly spot on!

thank you for your post.

:rolleyes:


So if you don't like the term "engineer", does the job "Sanitation Technician" sound better than Garbage Man?


At least engineers can spell the difference between There, Their, and They're.

You should meet some of the graphics or liberal arts students.

Perfect.


Signed "Evil Genius for a Better Tomorrow" Engineer!

Actually its quite a bit more than that. You might be able to complete a degree program in an Engineering Science in 4 years, it typically take longer..

So you have your degree...to become licensed take quite a bit more..

Pass a Fundamentals of Engineering exam (declare you specialty here)

Now you are an Engineer in Training...or Engineer Intern...

Now find a job and get 4 years applicable experience ( this means actually designing things)

Now apply to take the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam..

Pass that and you can call yourself a Professional Engineer...

Now to maintain your license, you need to prove an certain amount of continuing education per year....

All this what sometimes is a "middle class" wage..

Two extremely hard exams, 4-5 years of schooling, 4 years as an intern...

I think we worked hard for the right to be arrogant at times....

do you know why after all that work you get to have letters after your name??

it's true...many aspire to be Spock...and not the Spock leaning on a Riviera...
