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.

engineering

A hard major that results in a good job in the end. Only problem is that there aren't enough girls in engineering.

We need to encourage more girls to take up engineering so that engineering guys can get laid.

Engineers Luck

Generally used in IT. Whereas a caller comes on the phone saying they've already done the thing that the engineer is most likely to ask first. The engineer will ask the user to do it while on the phone and then it suddenly works.
In other words, the user has just lied their bollocks off.

Caller: Hi, i've already rebooted my pc like 3 times and my program doesn't work
Engineer: Can you reboot your pc while on the phone to me right now?
Caller: Ok *wait for a minute or two
Caller: Oh! It's working now.
Engineer: Of course it is, that's Engineers Luck. Bye now.
