why do you always carry your books around in your hands, and you are wearing a backpack? do you want the whole world to know that you are being tortured in the eng. dept?

engineer majors

10/17/2007 1:10:39 PM

cause we are feeble and our meager bodies can't support the immense weight on our backs

10/17/2007 1:11:09 PM

i carry them around in my hands because i don't have a backpack

i hate the world full of midgets i live in

10/17/2007 1:11:10 PM

^^^ if you are in engineering you are set out to be an engineer, or am i totally confused about this?

[Edited on October 17, 2007 at 1:11 PM. Reason : sdfg]

10/17/2007 1:11:11 PM

yeah but it's engineering major, not engineer major


if youre an english major

are you set out to be an english


or a communication

or a parks and recreation

10/17/2007 1:12:20 PM

actually, i'm goin' to law school after this

10/17/2007 1:12:22 PM

well you will be an engineer whether you like it or not after you get that degree. maybe not a practicing engineer, but an engineer of some sort.

bigman used to walk around carrying a bookbag from his hands


he's so big it looked like a man purse, but it was a full sized bookbag

10/17/2007 1:13:43 PM

Nah, engineering majors who double or minor in physics or another real science can grow up to be mad scientists.

10/17/2007 1:14:00 PM

ha

smarter than moi?

you have to be a bad man to smarter than me.

if you have an engineering degree you are an engineer whether your job title or practices say otherwise.

I did it because I had too many goddamn books to fit in my backpack. Some in arms, some in pack.

And I was too fucking broke to buy a new backpack.

Not nescessarily, if you don't pass the FE and PE exams then that's somewhat like someone failing the bar calling themselves a lawyer.

10/17/2007 1:15:46 PM

smart and intelligence are easily confused. i see thugs off the street that are smarter than many people that i met in college, however the college student is more intelligent in their specific area of study.

^ you are still a lawyer, just not licensed!

that's not correct at all

10/17/2007 1:17:19 PM

naw bro i meant right what i said. education enhances intelligence. like the cia get a tip on terrorists, they learned, therefore were educated, that the terrorists are about the strike. then they use thier smarts to thwart them.

[Edited on October 17, 2007 at 1:19 PM. Reason : sdfg]

^^ Yeah it is. Please take notice of the weak qualifier. Qualifiers are very important.

10/17/2007 1:20:41 PM

not having a pe doesn't prevent you from practicing engineering.

10/17/2007 1:21:32 PM

just reducing the chance of you getting a high paying job i would think, at least before you get experienced.

[Edited on October 17, 2007 at 1:22 PM. Reason : sdfg]

10/17/2007 1:22:04 PM

Hence the weak qualifier. In principle calling yourself an engineer without the certification is like calling yourself a lawyer without passing the bar exam. I said nothing about the legalities of practicing.

the FE is easy to pass

fuck, i wasn't practicing engineering and had been out of college for a year when i took it

10/17/2007 1:25:26 PM

you are taking my post and making it seems as if i asserted something?

i passed it drunk

well, still drunk from the night before

even had to leave in the middle to vomit

which was interesting seeing as how you have to wait for an escort to leave your seat, it was a photofinish



(the employer whom I had accepted a job for doesn't give a flip about EIT certification)

10/17/2007 1:28:12 PM

oh i def understand what qualifiers are for, but apparently a few engineering majors missed that memo in freshman english.

If you graduate from an accredited program, the FE bullshit doesn't matter for "certification" purposes, though, as a bar exam does for lawyers. That's where your error was, not with the qualifier.

It was a nonsensical analogy.

you have to the bar exam to practice, but in principle you are still a lawyer, who is not eligible to practice.

and for civil...... you have to.


stop with this always being right crap. Loosen up fatty

10/17/2007 1:56:04 PM

I didn't dispute your point at all.

but it's categorically wrong to say that all engineers need to have the FE to be certified

10/17/2007 2:00:37 PM

if you dont have to put your name on your work, then you dont need to take the FE exam.


thats what my prof. said

10/17/2007 2:03:13 PM

^basically

FE part of steps taken to become a professional engineer.


else you are just an engineer.

10/17/2007 2:07:06 PM

in some/most states, it's illegal to practice law without being a lawyer. you will goto jail for it.

you can practice in nc without being a lawyer, but not in va.
