machines convert the chemical energy of the fuel to something useful - no machines=no use for fuel

well then you'd be a fucking mechanical engineer



you're stupid

its not so stupid if you actually knew anything about chemical and mechanical engineering...since chemical engineering spawned out of mechanical engineering when people figured out it was useful to understand more than just how things rotate and vibrate. Chemical engineering isn't about chemicals, its about giving purpose and application to mechanical engineering concepts.

someone mentioned earlier that AEs are specialized MEs--its actually the ChemEs that are specialized MEs

AEs and MEs are more like fraternal twins

except ME's do more than just how things vibrate and rotate

What else, calculating how things stay still?



I'm just joking ME's, I respect your importance unlike others in this thread...
