Engineer Jokes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*****************************************
Two engineering students meet on campus one day.
The first engineer calls out to the other, "Hey - Nice bike! Where did you get it?"
"Well," replies the other, "I was walking to class the other day when this pretty, young coed rides up on this bike. She jumps off, takes off all of her clothes, and says 'You can have ANYTHING you want!!'"
"Good choice," says the first, "her clothes wouldn't have fit you anyway."
*****************************************

An Amazingly Accurate Portrayal of Engineers
People who work in the fields of science and technology are not like other people.
This can be frustrating to the non-technical people who have to deal with them.
The secret to coping with technology-oriented people is to understand their motivations.
This chapter will teach you everything you need to know.
I learned their customs and mannerisms by observing them, much the way Jane Goodall learned about the great apes, but without the hassle of grooming.
Engineering is so trendy these days that everybody wants to be one.
The word "engineer" is greatly overused.
If there's somebody in your life who you think is trying to pass as an engineer, give him this test to discern the truth.
ENGINEER IDENTIFICATION TEST
You walk into a room and notice that a picture is hanging crooked.
You...
A. Straighten it.
B. Ignore it.
C. Buy a CAD system and spend the next six months designing a solar-powered, self-adjusting picture frame while often stating aloud your belief that the inventor of the nail was a total moron.
The correct answer is "C" but partial credit can be given to anybody who writes "It depends" in the margin of the test or simply blames the whole stupid thing on "Marketing."
SOCIAL SKILLS
Engineers have different objectives when it comes to social interaction.
"Normal" people expect to accomplish several unrealistic things from social interaction:
1. Stimulating and thought-provoking conversation
2. Important social contacts
3. A feeling of connectedness with other humans
In contrast to "normal" people, engineers have rational objectives for social interactions:
1. Get it over with as soon as possible.
2. Avoid getting invited to something unpleasant.
3. Demonstrate mental superiority and mastery of all subjects.
FASCINATION WITH GADGETS
To the engineer, all matter in the universe can be placed into one of two categories:
1. Things that need to be fixed
AND
2. Things that will need to be fixed after you've had a few minutes to play with them.
Engineers like to solve problems.
If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems.
Normal people don't understand this concept; they believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
No engineer looks at a television remote control without wondering what it would take to turn it into a stun gun.
No engineer can take a shower without wondering if some sort of Teflon coating would make showering unnecessary.
To the engineer, the world is a toy box full of sub-optimized and feature-poor toys.
FASHION AND APPEARANCE
Clothes are the lowest priority for an engineer, assuming the basic thresholds for temperature and decency have been satisfied.
If no appendages are freezing or sticking together, and if no genitalia or mammary glands are swinging around in plain view, then the objective of clothing has been met. Anything else is a waste.
LOVE OF "STAR TREK"
Engineers love all of the "Star Trek" television shows and movies.
It's a small wonder, since the engineers on the Starship Enterprise are portrayed as heroes, occasionally even having sex with aliens.
This is much more glamorous than the real life of an engineer, which consists of hiding from the universe and having sex without the participation of other life forms.
DATING AND SOCIAL LIFE
Dating is never easy for engineers.
A normal person will employ various indirect and duplicitous methods to create a false impression of attractiveness.
Engineers are incapable of placing appearance above function.
Fortunately, engineers have an ace in the hole.
They are widely recognized as superior marriage material: intelligent, dependable, employed, honest, and handy around the house.
While it's true that many normal people would prefer not to date an engineer, most normal people harbor an intense desire to mate with them, thus producing engineerlike children who will have high-paying jobs long before losing their virginity.
Male engineers reach their peak of sexual attractiveness later than normal men, becoming irresistible erotic dynamos in their mid thirties to late forties.
*Just look at these examples of sexually irresistible men in technical professions:
Bill Gates.
MacGyver.
Etcetera.
Female engineers become irresistible at the age of consent and remain that way until about thirty minutes after their clinical death. Longer if it's a warm day.
HONESTY
Engineers are always honest in matters of technology and human relationships.
That's why it's a good idea to keep engineers away from customers, romantic interests, and other people who can't handle the truth.
Engineers sometimes bend the truth to avoid work.
They say things that sound like lies but technically are not because nobody could be expected to believe them.
The complete list of engineer lies is listed below.
1. "I won't change anything without asking you first."
2. "I'll return your hard-to-find cable tomorrow."
3. "I have to have new equipment to do my job."
4. "I'm not jealous of your new computer."
FRUGALITY
Engineers are notoriously frugal.
This is not because of cheapness or mean spirit; it is simply because every spending situation is simply a problem in optimization, that is, "How can I escape this situation while retaining the greatest amount of cash?"
POWERS OF CONCENTRATION
If there is one trait that best defines an engineer it is the ability to concentrate on one subject to the complete exclusion of everything else in the environment.
This sometimes causes engineers to be pronounced dead prematurely.
Some funeral homes in high-tech areas have started checking resumes before processing the bodies.
Anybody with a degree in electrical engineering or experience in computer programming is propped up in the lounge for a few days just to see if he or she snaps out of it.
RISK
Engineers hate risk.
They try to eliminate it whenever they can.
This is understandable, given that when an engineer makes one little mistake the media will treat it like it's a big deal or something.
EXAMPLES OF BAD PRESS FOR ENGINEERS
1. Hindenberg.
2. Space Shuttle Challenger.
3. SPANet(tm)
4. Hubble space telescope.
5. Apollo 13.
6. Titanic.
7. Ford Pinto.
8. Corvair.
The risk/reward calculation for engineers looks something like this:
1. RISK: Public humiliation and the death of thousands of innocent people.
2. REWARD: A certificate of appreciation in a handsome plastic frame.
Being practical people, engineers evaluate this balance of risks and rewards and decide that risk is not a good thing.
The best way to avoid risk is by advising that any activity is technically impossible for reasons that are far too complicated to explain.
If that approach is not sufficient to halt project, then the engineer will fall back to a second line of defense: "It's technically possible but it will cost too much."
EGO
Ego-wise, two things are important to engineers:
1. How smart they are.
2. How many cool devices they own.
The fastest way to get an engineer to solve a problem is to declare that the problem is unsolvable.
No engineer can walk away from an unsolvable problem until it's solved.
No illness or distraction is sufficient to get the engineer off the case.
These types of challenges quickly become personal -- a battle between the engineer and the laws of nature.
Engineers will go without food and hygiene for days to solve a problem. (Other times just because they forgot.)
And when they succeed in solving the problem they will experience an ego rush that is better than sex--and I'm including the kind of sex where other people are involved.
Nothing is more threatening to the engineer than the suggestion that somebody has more technical skill.
Normal people sometimes use that knowledge as a lever to extract more work from the engineer.
When an engineer says that something can't be done (a code phrase that means it's not fun to do), some clever normal people have learned to glance at the engineer with a look of compassion and pity and say something along these lines: "I'll ask Bob to figure it out. He knows how to solve difficult technical problems."
At that point it is a good idea for the normal person to not stand between the engineer and the problem.
The engineer will set upon the problem like a starved Chihuahua on a pork chop.

hey blown swole cat... can you cliff that for me.. im a busy man!@

Depends... care to enlist in CANADIAN education so you can read?

[itsallmental]

thats funny bro. i liked the terminologys haha. my brother is an engineer so i can relate some of that sh!t to him

[Blown_SC]

thats funny bro. i liked the terminologys haha. my brother is an engineer so i can relate some of that sh!t to him

Yeah, I'm in the process of becoming one, and worked with many this summer, cracked me the fuk up

[itsallmental]

mechanical/civil/what kinda engineering you going for? i keep re-reading #'s 7 and 8 and they still crack me up.

[Blown_SC]

mechanical/civil/what kinda engineering you going for? i keep re-reading #'s 7 and 8 and they still crack me up.

Well, it's a Mechanical Engineering course, with a basis regarding Automotive Design.. really cool course... it's only a 3-year diploma course though, I'll get my degree in my early 20's....

[itsallmental]

ya thats the same thing he's almost done with it, the only reason i didnt get into engineering is because the only sort of mathematics i can tolerate is algebra, and i know you guys have to go as far as 17 years in calculus .thats cool mayng, in 1 year i being residency at a hospital to become a PA, so when you have a abcess the size of montana, or you used a needle you found in the sewer for your next tren shot and get genetal warts, i will be the one operating on ya

You won't be operating on this ass! I live in Canada hahah

LOLLLL
It would be the last time

A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were all given a red rubber ball and told to find the volume.
The mathmatician carefully measured the diamaeter and evaluated a triple integral.
The physicist filled a beaker with water, put the ball in the water, and measured the total displacement.
The engineer looked up the model and serial numbers in his red-rubber-ball table.

A mathematician, an engineer, and a physicist are being interviewed for a job. In each case, the interview goes along famously until the last question is asked: "How much is one plus one?" Each of them suspects a trap, and is hesitant to answer.
The mathematician thinks for a moment, and says "I'm not sure, but I think it converges".
The physicist says "I'm not sure, but I think it's on the order of one"
The engineer gets up, closes the door to the office, and says "How much do you want it to be?".

The engineer thinks of his equations as an approximation to reality.
The physicist thinks reality is an approximation to his equations.
The mathematician doesn't care.

So a mathematician, an engineer, and a physicist are out hunting together. They spy a deer (*) in the woods.
The physicist calculates the velocity of the deer and the effect of gravity on the bullet, aims his rifle and fires. Alas, he misses; the bullet passes three feet behind the deer. The deer bolts some yards, but comes to a halt, still within sight of the trio.
"Shame you missed," comments the engineer, "but of course with an ordinary gun, one would expect that." He then levels his special deer-hunting gun, which he rigged together from an ordinary rifle, a sextant, a compass, a barometer, and a bunch of flashing lights which don't do anything but impress onlookers, and fires. Alas, his bullet passes three feet in front of the deer, who by this time wises up and vanishes for good.
"Well," says the physicist, "your contraption didn't get it either."
"What do you mean?" pipes up the mathematician. "Between the two of you, that was a perfect shot!"
(*) How they knew it was a deer:
The physicist observed that it behaved in a deer-like manner, so it must be a deer.
The mathematician asked the physicist what it was, thereby reducing it to a previously solved problem.
The engineer was in the woods to hunt deer, therefore it was a deer.

What is "pi"?
Mathematician: Pi is the number expressing the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter.
Physicist: Pi is 3.1415927 plus or minus 0.000000005
Engineer: Pi is about 3.

When considering the behaviour of a howitzer:
A mathematician will be able to calculate where the shell will land.
A Physicist will be able to explain how the shell gets there.
An engineer will stand there and try to catch it.

The biologist says "I study the principles of life."
The psychologist says "You are controlled by the principles of life."
The businessman says "My business can use its force to control the economy."
The economist says "The forces of the economy will control your business."
The engineer says: "My equations are a model of the universe."
The physicist says: "The universe is a model of my equations."
The mathematician says: "I don't care."

An Engineering Student, a Physics Student, and a Mathematics student were each given $150 dollars and were told to use that money to find out exactly how tall a particular hotel was. All three ran off, extremely keen on how to do this.
The Physics student went out, purchased some stopwatches, a number of ball bearings, a calculator, and some friends. He had them all time the drop of ball bearings from the roof, and he then figured out the height from the time it took for the bearings to accelerate from rest until they impacted with the sidewalk.
The Math student waited until the sun was going down, then she took out her protractor, plumb line, measuring tape,and scratch pad, measured the length of the shadow, found the angle the buildings roof made from the ground, and used trignometry to figure out the height of the building.
These two students bumped into the Engineering student the next day, who was nursing a really bad hangover. When asked what he did to find the height of the building he replied: "Well, I walked up to the bell hop, gave him 10 bucks, asked him how tall the hotel was, and hit the bar inside for happy hour!"

The experimentalist comes running excitedly into the theorist's office, waving a graph taken off his latest experiment. "Hmmm," says the theorist, "That's exactly where you'd expect to see that peak. Here's the reason (long logical explanation follows)." In the middle of it, the experimentalist says "Wait a minute", studies the chart for a second, and says, "Oops, this is upside down." He fixes it. "Hmmm," says the theorist, "you'd expect to see a dip in exactly that position. Here's the reason...".

hahaha, thats funny stuff bro, i sound like the mathematician in the 1st one no doubt
