Engineering

n. A profession, usually taught in universities as a four-year program. It's far more rigorous than most other programs available to university students, with the benefit of near-guaranteed employment after graduation. Downsides include not being able to get laid and extreme social awkwardness.

Arts majors:

Look, isn't that one of those engineering students? Man, what a pathetic loser. We're so much cooler lolol.

Engineering student:

It's this "loser" here that'll be making 70 grand a year right after graduating. Enjoy your degree in Classical Literature suckers, it'll probably qualify you for flipping burgers.

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.

SkyMall Engineering

An IT management tactic of promoting and mandating solutions that they do not understand. These solutions were made by looking at the cover of the latest IT trade magazine.

The new "Clould Computing" direction the company is taking is a good piece off SkyMall Engineering.
