Civil Engineer

Someone who sucks at every other engineering, so they spend their life looking at parking lots and talking about cement. They are often mistaken for traffic cones. However they do like complaining about how hard their life is as an engineer. However, their course load is nothing like a true engineer. They are the bros of engineering.
Guy1: see him over there, hes a civil engineer. He does nothing all day but dreams of concrete.

Girl1: yeah he just mansplained what addition is to me. But then he did it wrong.

back engineer

An *ultra boss-level nerd that can unlicense, break, and optionally repurpose software (and/or hardware) that other nerds made.
The nerdness level of the product creators shall not matter to the back engineer; it is considered pwnable by the back engineer, whether the soft/hardware in question was shipped by basic low-tier/mediocre nerds, or by their superior mega-nerds and the like - the back engineer will unpack and dissect it with as least effort as required, because efficiency.

The back engineer may enjoy the following (not necessarily in that order): writing better code than u and ur dad combined, shitty memes, repurposing products, occasionally making stuff crash, caffeine, and/or gaining unfair advantage while learning new curse words from other players online.

Since we know back engineers are better programmers than most qualified nerds, they are known to ship highly stable and robust shit that will may very likely wreck other nerds' life's, turning them very dark and miserable, if those happen to attempt to back engineer the already-back-engineered shit themselves.

* ultra-boss = the very final ranking a nerd could possibly achieve in a single lifespan
- We can't go sleep now, we got some back engineering work to do.
- So what if you don't publish the source? They will just back engineer it.
- f*ck this shit imma back engineer that ass
