ghetto engineering tactics

Blatantly disregarding all formal education and training in the hopes of somehow magically "getting it right" while clearly failing to define what "right" is before embarking on said design.
Andy utilized ghetto engineering tactics in his project ... and not surprisingly he failed.

computer engineering

The best kind of engineering. Every job wants you, everybody needs you. Software? You shit out programs for breakfast. All other engineers look up to you because you're a beast. You blend into any group of friends because you own geeky conversations, but you still stay in shape like a salsa dancing gazelle. You dress to impress and the bitches can't get off you because you got dat layer of abs underneath that button down shirt.
"I heard Jakey B switch to computer engineering"

biomedical engineering

A major or field of study that sucks the life out of its participants. Since it is strongly related to medicine, a lot of undergraduates study BME as pre-med students. However, they quickly learn that after classes such as 'Analysis of Biosignals and Systems' and 'Instrumentation Lab', biomedical engineering is not worth the lack of life it creates.
Well, I was studying biomedical engineering. Then our entire class failed Biosignals even though the curve was around 30%, so I switched to Business.

reverse engineering

Dictionary.com defines it as:

The process of analysing an existing
system to identify its components and their interrelationships
and create representations of the system in another form or at
a higher level of abstraction. Reverse engineering is usually
undertaken in order to redesign the system for better
maintainability or to produce a copy of a system without
access to the design from which it was originally produced
Bill Gates reverse engineered the Macintosh 1986 OS to create windows '95. < that is an example of reverse engineering

ghetto engineering

A method of building, desinging or inventing in which anything, no matter how unprofessional or non-aesthetically pleasing, is done to complete the project.
That guy just used popsicle sticks and bubble gum to repair his exhaust pipe. He's a master of ghetto engineering.

Drive By Engineering

Engineering accomplished, usually incorrectly, by walking in the vicinity of a project, and attempting to point out how it could be better or how it is wrong.
The drive by engineer is usually in a position of authority and has failed to consider all of the relevant facts before making his or her incorrect claims. The victim of the drive by engineering is then forced to spend several hours justifying the design to the superior.
"Did you hear that Bob was a victim of Dave's drive by engineering?"
