Electrical Engineer

Someone who signed up for at least 4-5 years of insanity inducing torture.

Oh you're going to be an electrical engineer? Hopefully you'll make it out in one piece.

engineer

"To the engineer, all matter in the universe can be placed into one of two categories: (1) things that need to be fixed, and (2) things that will need to be fixed after you've had a few minutes to play with them. Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems. Normal people don't understand this concept; they believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet." - Scott Adams, The Dilbert Principle

The engineer was the cause of the system meltdown

armchair engineers

These are typically 24 year old yuppie wannabees straight out of college. It takes about 18 months to get them to the point where they can actually do something constructive for the company. Once this happens, they get a stupid title with the word "worldwide director" or something, and from this point on will not put their hands on anything tangible, like a product.

"Man, that Jeremy is an egghead. We finally get him to the point where he can walk without hand-holding and he gets a position with the armchair engineers."

Operating Engineer

Bascially a professional badass, the Liam Neson's of the engineering world. These guys do the shit you can't, fix the shit you can't, and run the shit you can't. Typically paid over 100,000 a year, these are the people that keep your world running.

Oh you're an operating engineer, well I won't be needing these pants anymore.

OVER ENGINEERED

Basically anything engineered and made by the "Stuff Made Here" YouTube channel owner Shane Wighton. Takes a week to plan, longer than a month to create and even months to finalize.

1. Anything made by this doofus is over engineered
2. Your mom is over engineered

Engineer's Leg

The increase in muscle mass you get in your legs after walking up and down the endless fucking flights of stairs at Brooklyn Technical High School for 7 hours a day and 5 days a week.

"My legs hurt from going to the 8th floor gym from the basement."
"You got Engineer's leg."
