You know you're an engineer when...

<p>you're on college confidential on a Friday night and GO!</p>

<p>You see the word pearl in a dictionary and briefly think it should be spelled Perl (happened to me the other day)</p>

<p>you’re reviewing calculus and circuit designs before the semester starts…</p>

<p>Wow I’m lame lol</p>

<p>You tremble with rage when people talk about Jobs instead of Wozniak.</p>

<p>Below a 3.0 is acceptable.</p>

<p>You are always looking up at the ceiling to see how the roof is supported.</p>

<p>You wonder what engineer designed the skimpy bracing you see in a building.</p>

<p>Your degree or job title includes the word “engineer”?</p>

<p>you expect to make at least 100k ten years into your career!</p>

<p>true story. I was at a bar a week ago and played trivia using the wireless control thing. </p>

<p>I couldn’t help but think what a horrible interface and was thinking of a better UI LOL</p>

<p>Oh, gosh, this is my son. We were moving him into his new dorm last week and he was analyzing the moving cart and commenting on design changes he would make. He is coming in quite handy around the house as he is bracing things like shower rods and doors so that they work better. We brought in his car for a checkup before going back to school and he understood what the repair guy was talking about and asked questions that were way over my head. Since he’s been a kid, he’s been full of questions at the doctors’ office, asking about the equipment. Now he’s explaining to his doctors how the machines work and what he’s designing nowadays that will be in their offices in the near future.</p>

<p>

Doesn’t that also describe at least half of all business majors? (I am talking about expectations, not reality!)</p>

<p>well, in business expectations are half the salary.</p>

<p>Youtube DIY videos. Long story short. I was drinking/sleeping and driving, crashed, airbag pop, retractable seat belt locked up. I disassembled the passenger belt and transferred it to the driver side.</p>

<p>you admire a girl for her paraboloids.
Hey baby, is it just me or do your (x^2)/(a^2) + (y^2)/(b^2) = 0 functions exceed my range.</p>

<p>You know you’re an engineer if you completely understood Primer on the second watch (you’re probably a physicist if you got it on the first try).</p>

<p>I’m sorry, but no one has ever fully understood Primer.</p>

<p>You can’t enjoy shopping for a car because all the cool stuff makes you wonder, “what happens if it breaks?” (I was a serviceability/reliability engineer for my first 20 years of work.)</p>

<p>What’s not to understand? You put it on the wall to serve as a base for your normal paint.</p>

<p><a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(film[/url])”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(film)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You can’t understand the thought processes of non-engineers or what they say or phenomena that don’t work or behave in a systematic/logical way (because they aren’t systematic or logical).</p>
