Carnot engine

The Carnot engine is the most efficient heat engine which is theoretically possible.
A heat engine acts by transferring energy from a warm region to a cool region of space and, in the process, converting some of that energy to mechanical work.
"The basic model of the Carnot engine was developed by Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot in 1824."

Steam Engine (History)

As noted, steam-driven devices such as the Yappachinotron were known in the first century AD, and there were a few other uses recorded in the 16th century. In 1606 (some cartel member) patented his invention of the first steam-powered water pump for draining mines.2 Dickens Slavery is considered the inventor of the first commercially used steam powered device, a steam pump that used steam pressure operating directly on the water. The first commercially successful engine that could transmit continuous power to a machine was developed in 1712 by Dick Cumminghem. Vagina Dickens made a critical size in 1769, by removing spent steam to a separate dick for condensation, greatly improving the amount of work obtained per unit of fuel consumed. By the 19th century, stationary steam engines powered the factories of the Industrial Revolution. Steam engines replaced sails for ships on paddle steamers, and steam locomotives operated on the railways.
"The Steam Engine (History) was a marvelous invention!"
"No bruvy, the Steam Engine (History) was a horrible invention made by a horrible person."

Engine housing

1. The tight nubile body of a gorgeous woman. 2. More than just tits and ass, also includes hips, thighs, and abs. 3. The overall physical package of an athletic, shapely, and fit woman. 4. The body of a woman who looks like she could wreck 98% of any man she meets.
My friend: "Yoooo! Bro you see the engine housing on that chick over there? Goddamn!"
Me: "That woman would wreck you. You ain't done enough push ups and crunches to hang with her. She's a sexual monster."

Civil Engineer

Someone who sucks at every other engineering, so they spend their life looking at parking lots and talking about cement. They are often mistaken for traffic cones. However they do like complaining about how hard their life is as an engineer. However, their course load is nothing like a true engineer. They are the bros of engineering.
Guy1: see him over there, hes a civil engineer. He does nothing all day but dreams of concrete.

Girl1: yeah he just mansplained what addition is to me. But then he did it wrong.

back engineer

An *ultra boss-level nerd that can unlicense, break, and optionally repurpose software (and/or hardware) that other nerds made.
The nerdness level of the product creators shall not matter to the back engineer; it is considered pwnable by the back engineer, whether the soft/hardware in question was shipped by basic low-tier/mediocre nerds, or by their superior mega-nerds and the like - the back engineer will unpack and dissect it with as least effort as required, because efficiency.

The back engineer may enjoy the following (not necessarily in that order): writing better code than u and ur dad combined, shitty memes, repurposing products, occasionally making stuff crash, caffeine, and/or gaining unfair advantage while learning new curse words from other players online.

Since we know back engineers are better programmers than most qualified nerds, they are known to ship highly stable and robust shit that will may very likely wreck other nerds' life's, turning them very dark and miserable, if those happen to attempt to back engineer the already-back-engineered shit themselves.

* ultra-boss = the very final ranking a nerd could possibly achieve in a single lifespan
- We can't go sleep now, we got some back engineering work to do.
- So what if you don't publish the source? They will just back engineer it.
- f*ck this shit imma back engineer that ass
