human engineering problem

a case where the real challenge is to modify or control human behavior rather than design a technological solution. Sometimes used sarcastically (by techies) to imply that a problem is not due to technological deficiencies, but to the fact that humans are so poorly designed.

We know how to produce enough food to feed the world. Eliminating hunger is primarily a human engineering problem.

ENGR195

One of the most bullshit classes you'll take in Purdue's College of Engineering. You learn how to be a good team member, make games, and do other tasks that aren't related to engineering.

What did you do in ENGR195 today?
We played with Play-Doh.

ghetto engineering tactics

Blatantly disregarding all formal education and training in the hopes of somehow magically "getting it right" while clearly failing to define what "right" is before embarking on said design.

Andy utilized ghetto engineering tactics in his project ... and not surprisingly he failed.

Computer Engineer

A college major that will make you hate your life, your friends, computers, electronics, and anything remotely enjoyable about your life. Mass consumption of alcohol in the 20 minutes of free time a week keeps you sane.

"Yo look at dude banging his head off the wall"
"Must be a computer engineer"

computer engineering

The best kind of engineering. Every job wants you, everybody needs you. Software? You shit out programs for breakfast. All other engineers look up to you because you're a beast. You blend into any group of friends because you own geeky conversations, but you still stay in shape like a salsa dancing gazelle. You dress to impress and the bitches can't get off you because you got dat layer of abs underneath that button down shirt.

"I heard Jakey B switch to computer engineering"
"Damn, God made another angel today"
