hood engineering

Completing something in a really scuffed and scrappy way, but it works.
1. I had to check if a number from 1 to 10 was odd or even so I made 10 if statements. That was some next level hood engineering!

2. I did some crazy hood cooking last night. I didn't have a rolling pin so I used a wine bottle instead

ego-engineering

When an Engineer is consumed with self-esteem and glory, that despite the downfalls of the supporting product, environment, or company, and subsequent technical debt they are surrounded with (and possibly creating), they assist on creating the "shinny" new thing, and taking all the glory for its bloated success.
James Bond loved being in the spotlight so much, that he sacrificed the integrity of his work and well being of his team, to speedily re-created the company website on his own without consulting his team members. The results worked well, for 1/2 of all customers, but hey! Its really shinny! His ego-engineering communications and broadcast got him promoted, though he continues to break and create technical debt for the Company.

Linguistic engineering

A covert operation planned to create a long term change in targeted groups slang, urban language. The objective of which can become the outcome of segmenting these groups, so that the creators of these words, can control the narrative and outcomes in the broader more mainstream media.
These outcomes, furthermore lead to a complete new subset of commercial opportunities being borne out this, companies, advertising and support groups.
He understands these issues, that' proven put out , in his mass social following on TikTok, where he's pushing out his merch and making a ton of money. Ever since I knew him, he was into reading books on mindcontrol and stuff like linguistic engineering.

civil engineering

The oldest engineering discipline (even though some like to claim it's mechanical because it encompasses military engineering) Lots of job opportunities, but business majors will criticize you for not picking a more lucrative discipline whereas other engineering disciplines will claim you chose the easiest engineering major 💀
Person 1: "Did you know that UPenn doesn't have a Civil Engineering program?"
Person 2: Really? That's crazy..

Appalachian Engineering

An act of spontaneous repair or fabrication of an item or system sometimes used in a humorous or self deprecating fashion.

Solving a technical issue in a temporary manor until a permanent replacement can be acquired if that is even possible.

Usually accomplished without proper engineering knowledge or training, without proper materials and components, or without proper tools for the job at hand. More often lacking all three.

A skill typically employed by individuals who can be described as 'born engineers' or as being naturally gifted with a 'head for tinkering'. These individuals likely could have done well in the STEM fields if they ever had the resources or opportunity to attend the proper schooling or purchase the proper tools and training.

Commonly used in rural environments found in and around economically depressed areas near the Appalachian Mountains in the United States.

Synonymous with the term 'Redneck Engineering', or in urban environments 'Improvisational Engineering' or 'Jury-rigging'.

The products of Appalachian Engineering are sometimes, but not necessarily always, considered ramshackle or slapdash.

Sometimes used in conjunction with some variation of the phrase "Hold my beer, I got this".

When criticized the resulting products of Appalachian Engineering are defended with the phrase, "If it looks stupid but it works then it is not stupid", although it very well might be dangerous if you aren't careful with it.
Noun:
"That is a mighty fine bit of appalachian engineering you've got there."

"She used her appalachian engineering skills and fixed that optical drive with a rubber band, and an eraser taken from a number two pencil."
