afro engineer

the politcally correct term for nigger rig, to fix something in a nigger like fashion. Example: Duct tape or mis-matched parts

You look like a real afro engineer with all that duct tape on your car.

Afro Engineering

Noun: a methodology of fixing or manufacturing something through unconventional means using only the (usually improper) tools and resources at hand. Also known as Ghetto rigging, nig rigging, jurry rigging, and ghettorisation. This particular variation was most likely inspired by the telivision program "Sanford and Son"

To get my car to start I had to use some duct tape and apply some afro engineering.

"Hey I made this hooka out of an old coffee can and some crap I found lying around in my house"
"Thats some real afro engineering you got going right there"

Ghetto Engineering Tactics

An undefined, shotgun approach to engineering.

Skipping all logical engineering methods and going straight to the "easy to implement solution"

Thinking that an "easy to implement" solution is in any way easy, or a solution.


See nutstache

Andy employs ghetto engineering tactics very well.

Engineer

Someone who takes the view that if its broken it should be fixed, if its not broken it needs to be taken apart to find out why, theoretically to make future designs not be broken, really to break it so they can fix it.

In general have advanced math and science skills, engineers solve practical problems and design things, not to be confused with scientists, who discover things, or workmen who make things.

The scientist discovers a new material and its properties, the engineer uses this to design a new building, the workman makes the building.

Often engineers have trouble socializing, this is because they speak and think in numbers, and have tendency to "mental multi-task" i.e. Halfway through a conversation they will devote half their brain to designing a better sort of person to talk to.

Whatever it says, if it doesn't have a degree, its not an engineer, its something that wants to feel important.
