Holy Sh!t. Do Jews hold a "Hi, I'm a Jew" sign or something?

:dunno: whoops

First of all, I'm really sorry for all the victims and families of the victims.

Second: @Loki - who do you think are the "A"s of the engineering? Lets say you think the machine-building industry engineer - let's try to let them build a bridge... oooops....

Have a look at this -

It's the Millau Viaduct - hundrets of civil engineers did the planning and supervising there. All of them the "C"s... I don't think so....

P.S.: Of course I'm a civil engineer too, so I had to write this. :cool:

Ah hell w/ that bridge.. they coulda just made a road that served the same purpose lol

Haha i did for a while. My avatar was "iJew" with kyle from south park, And alot of the Jewish stereotypes are true; I'm extremely cheap and have a huge cock but it just comes with the territory

As for engineers in my mind here hows it goes

1/2 mechanical and electrical (goes back and forth)
3 Civil Engineers
4 Industrial
5 Manufacturing
6 Construction.

And there are exceptions to every rule :)

Atlanta93LE 08-03-2007 09:31 AM

Ouch...chemical doesn't even make your list :gay:

Loki047 08-03-2007 09:32 AM

i havent decided on chemical engineers yet. Whats the difference between a chemical engineer and a chemist?

Ben 08-03-2007 09:32 AM

or aerospace.

<-- former ae major

Loki047 08-03-2007 09:34 AM

Well AE i would put with mechanical just specialized

That's like asking what the difference is between a mechanical engineer and a physicist.

Alright...I'm outta here. I took this thread way off topic. Bridge collapse is tragic.

Loki047 08-03-2007 09:57 AM

See i disagree, i think they are the same. Just ones more practical.

At my school, mech and mfg engineering have the same types of courses, but mfg has higher levels of them, higher job placement (99.5%) and higher starting salary. If it wasn't for those things, I'd be a ME major.

Loki047 08-03-2007 11:25 AM

Really? thats amazing to me.

Manufacturing engineers at my school dont even take calcIII let alone diff eq, fluids, and heat transfer.

I think they have a tech degree not an engineering degree

Is your school ABET accredited?

SamS 08-03-2007 11:38 AM

Yeah it's accredited and was recently designated a polytechnic university. I don't have to take calc III, but the ME's don't even have to take calc II. I'm taking diff eq this year and I believe the fluid dynamics stuff comes later. I've mostly been doing a ton of materials (Chem of materials, engineering materials etc) classes so far.

Loki047 08-03-2007 11:53 AM

What school do you go to?

SamS 08-03-2007 11:58 AM

UW-Stout

y8s 08-03-2007 12:53 PM

all AEs are former AEs. at cal poly it was the #1 engineering degree to bail out of.

<--- Mechanical

What?!? I had to take up to Calc 3 along with all the other math classes, 2 diff eq's, 2 engineering maths, etc. ABET accredited also. :vash:

But I'd rather take a math class than one of the liberal arts classes. "Fortran" was my foreign language credit! I was lucky enough to get into "short story" my senor year, it almost offset the horror of "medieval women" junior year. :)

<--- Mechanical too.

Loki047 08-03-2007 03:54 PM

Gen Eds ruined my GPA... religions of the eastern world killed me! so did western civ.

Both night classes from 6-9.... happy hour was 430-6... i slept alot in those classes.
