engineering sickness

The inevitable round of cold- or flu-like symptoms that plagues engineering students at least twice a semester, without fail. The primary causes of this illness are exhaustion, stress, lack of exercise, alcoholism, lack of sunlight, poor hygiene, poor diet, and chronic depression.

Woah man, I don't feel so good.
Must be the engineering sickness coming on.

engineering failure

1) something designed by an engineer that fails to complete its purpose of existence.
2) somebody who is studying engineering in post-secondary school and failing a lot of courses

in relation to def 1)
Jenn: my favorite type of chewy candy is green apple
Chris: you are an engineering failure
Jenn: i agree

in relation to def 2)
Jason: i failed my test
Chris: me too
Together: we're engineering failures =C

Engineering Major

A four year university program that emphasizes maths and sciences, and their applications in many different fields of design. Known for its rigorous academics, engineering students have extremely high course loads (generally between 20-30 hours of class per week) and must spend considerable amounts of free time studying in order to keep up with said course loads.

Engineering majors are often bashed by those in programs with lesser course loads (especially business and arts) for having no social life. While it's true that we don't have anywhere near as much time to socialize as they do, we are more than capable of leading very normal social lives.

Also, engineering majors are pretty much guaranteed a job with at least 50k starting salary after finishing school.

*Arts major walks around with two sorority girls in his arms, and stops when he passes an engineering major, who is studying.*

Arts Major: "Hah, look at this loser in engineering, spending all his time studying, while I'm gettin laid!"

---Five Years Later---

*The engineering major pulls up to a drive thru window in his BMW, smoking hot wife sitting in the passenger seat. The arts major opens the window."

Arts Major: "Can I take your order?"

Engineering Major: "You were saying?"

engineering hot

The phenomena that happens when a mediocre looking girl walks into an engineering class which causes her hot rating to increase by a factor of at least 2 (+or - 4 points depending on the class's girl to guy ratio.)

She's definitley engineering hot. Maybe a 6 last night at the party but definitley a 12 today in class

Don't bother offering us that stinky pinky. We are Engineering Students.

engineering major

Borderline insane pursuit of a conceptual understanding of the physical principles underlying everyday machines that can be operated without this understanding.

Mechanic: Have you ever changed your own oil?

Engineering Major: No, but do you know chemically how the gas you put into your engine produces the heat necessary to power the engine, as well as how this heat is converted to usable mechanical work?

Mechanic: ... That will be $43.50.

Engineering Design Process

1. Identify problem
2. Research that shit
3. Develop possible solutions; no retarded ideas
4. Select a non-shit solution

5. Build that shit
6. Test and evaluate that shit
7. Improve that shit
8. Repeat if needed

Tom: "hey, I need help with this tech-ed assignment"
Jeremy: "just use the Engineering Design Process, you fucking melon"
