Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is a discipline within the engineering domain which deals with the application of the principles of science (especially Physics and Mathematics) and economics in the synthesis, analysis, design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and/or decommissioning of machines, tools, and systems, and materials in order to solve a problem or meet a need. This discipline serves to solve certain technical challenges facing society such as energy supply, provision of transport infrastructure like railways, and the manufacturing & the supply of needed materials such as steels and other alloys.

Mechanical Engineering is a very broad discipline which includes the following subdisciplines: Metallurgy, Thermal Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Production Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Mechatronics.
Mechanical Engineering is integral to other disciplines like Aerospace & Aeronautical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Civil Engineering.

People who practice or study Mechanical Engineering are called mechanical engineers. An undergraduate programme usually involves the study of such courses and subjects like solid mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mathematics, basic electrical/electronic principles, and control theory.

software engineering

Software engineering is the application of science
to consistently produce software based systems
that are acceptable against the needed criteria
(reliability, maintainability, security, safety,
efficiency, usability) in a cost effective way.

mexican engineering

1. a comepletely ghetto way of rennovating a house
2. strapping multiple matresses to the top of a car (usually an Astro minivan)
They must have hired a mexican engineer to fix that roof.
I have never seen that kind of mexican engineering!

Computer Engineering

A course at the college/university that f***ed you up with binaries, hexadecimals, ASCII and some sh*t, not that “hackerboy” stuff. Mostly people will ask you if you know how to repair a laptop.

Require a blunt everytime finishing an assignment.
“Dude u from computer engineering?”
Yeah bro
Cool dude, now repair my laptop”

Social Engineering

The process which interested parties utilize governing functions to steer the course of the human condition.
The religious sects are blocking gay marriage through the federal government to penalize homosexuals. Marriage is being used as a Social Engineering tool to create a heterosexual society.

Teachers and Professors are largely liberal, Socially Engineering the thought process of young individuals through schools which are the governing function related to training the youth.

Today's inner city slums are largely the work of zoning laws passed by segregationists working at the local and state government level. Those institutions were used to socially engineer neighborhoods in a clean and comfortable environment for one group of individuals and a living space zoned alongside industrial centers and other hazards for another group of individuals.

afro-engineering

The science of half-assing small repair jobs.

When used in isolation sometimes referred to as a nigger rig.

When an individual believes his way of repairing is the best way, yet his repair will certainly fails within weeks due to the quality and use of improper equipment.
My dad has a degree in afro-engineering. Look at all the repairs he never actually fixed.

software engineering

A self grandiose term to describe an industry which actually has no engineering foundations. Often filled with examples of Dunning Kruger, Conway's Law, Narcissism and Elitism.
