Often misunderstood as a bad thing because of bad coverage in the press, it is in fact very useful. To engineer something you need to map an organism's DNA and then discover which genes have which effect. Then map another organism's DNA and implant those genes where you want the desired effect. It can be performed while a creature or plant is in it's embrionic stage, if done after there would be far too many DNA strands to alter. It could be used to create plants that would grow all year round in any county such as deserts without rain or even in antarctica and if there is water there, thoretically Mars.

Get the Genetic Engineering mug.Truly one of the greatest metal bands of our time. Far better thany any of this nu-metal crap, they combine heavy riffs and bellowings with a truly beautiful chorus that culminates in tunes that define true Goths with posers.
Their best songs are Fixation on the Darkness and When Darkness Falls.

Get the engineer mug.A profession which has designed and developed everything from cars and planes to computers and cell phones to buildings. Often confused today with mechanics, technicians, and train drivers. Without them it would be back to the caves. They deserve respect.

Get the Engineer mug.Like a civil engineer, just not as up tight. They perform managerial tasks on the job site as well as design engineering (i.e. temporary structures). They spend a lot of time on the job site overseeing the actual construction of a project and making sure it gets finished in a cost efficient, safe, and timely manner.
The civil engineers don't like it when they find out that construction engineers make more money than they do!

Get the Nigger engineered mug.think of an engine as a giant air pump. It gobbles up air from the atmosphere and dumps it into six cylinders. Inside each cylinder, the air is mixed with fuel that is sprayed in by the fuel injectors. The spark plug ignites, causing a small but powerful explosion. This explosion rapidly expands the air that is inside the cylinder, forcing the piston upwards. The piston is connected to the connecting rod which turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft spins and is connected to the transmission, driveshaft, rear differential, and finally, the rear axle and wheels.
