The use of unorthodox methods and tools to build, modify or repair machinery, vehicles, etc, usually with little regard to finesse or technique.
Common tools include: sledgehammers, cutting torches, arc welders, come-alongs, jacks, porta-power kits, large prybars, sawzalls, lengths of pipe and 2 X 4s
So named for the stereotypical redneck who fixes things through brute force and duct tape.

The popular TV shows Monster Garage and Junkyard Wars often feature great masterpieces of redneck engineering

Get the redneck engineering mug.Attempting to get electronic or mechanical parts to work by physical force or violence. i.e. kicking, smashing, hacking, bludgeoning.
Craig took his T.V and kicked it a couple times in order to 'coerce' it into working. Like communism, the damn thing still refused to work. In a fit of ingenuity, he decided to use Russian Engineering, so he lit his T.V. on fire and smashed the bloody thing into an electronic pulp while dancing manically around it.

Get the Russian Engineering mug.Related Words
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.

Get the human engineering problem mug.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.

Get the ghetto engineering tactics mug.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.

Get the computer engineering mug.A major or field of study that sucks the life out of its participants. Since it is strongly related to medicine, a lot of undergraduates study BME as pre-med students. However, they quickly learn that after classes such as 'Analysis of Biosignals and Systems' and 'Instrumentation Lab', biomedical engineering is not worth the lack of life it creates.
Well, I was studying biomedical engineering. Then our entire class failed Biosignals even though the curve was around 30%, so I switched to Business.

Get the biomedical engineering mug.A term used to described females that appear attractive on a university campus's engineering center, but if they were compared to females of another building on campus then they would only be seen as average.
Her? Yeah she's engineering center hot.. but if she were back at the main campus then she would be nothing.
Dude she's hot. Nahh man, you've just been at the engineering center for too long. She's only engineering center hot.
She's a 9 on the engineering center scale, but only a 6 on main campus.
