Re: A bit of fun.. you might be an engineer if...

Real engineers:

- dont care about astetics, only function

- know you cant push a rope or chain

- know that sometimes you have to push a rope or chain

- demand that you listen to what they mean, not what they said

- can explain to you why a base model Saturn is 'faster' than a corvette, if you make less than $7 an hour

- know that imaginary numbers are actually real, and that the real world is whats imaginary

- can draw you a graph on a napkin at a chinese resturant to prove that you should order the shrimp instead of the chicken

- wear a pocket protector to keep lint out of their pen, not to keep ink off their shirt

-know that a 'slide rule' is not a regulation pertaining to playground equipment

...if you take a CAD drawing course your freshman year of high school using mechanical desktop

...if at a hockey game, you see a puck flying into the stands and know you can calculate how long the puck has been in the air and the amount of distance it traveled

Re: A bit of fun.. you might be an engineer if...

...if you discovered the unified equation of Krispy Kreme longetivity (l=p+t, the longitivity of the kk is equal to its proximity to a robotics team member plus how long it was since it was fresh)
...you realize that, on second thought, freshness doesnt matter all that much
