Egoneering

Engineering practices that never include reevaluation due to potential damage to the original authors ego, except when that reevaluation is presented by the original author.

1. Contributions to Rick's code must follow his strict egoneering practices, which means no one touches the code but Rick.

2. Rick's egoneering included a whoami check in his bash script to only allow his user to run it.

Mastering Engineering

An online homework program designed to rob college students of their hard-earned money and serve as a crutch for professors too lazy to write their own homework assignments or to teach. Its purpose, beyond making millions for the publishing company, is apparently to reduce the number of engineering graduates in the United States by utterly demoralizing and destroying their confidence in an effort to force them to drop the program and/or kill themselves.

I used up all but one attempt on this stupid Mastering Engineering problem, before I realized it had switched everything to kiloOhms instead of Ohms! And then I still got it wrong! FML!

hillbilly engineering

Having to make due with what you have, because you know you won't be getting anything else. Creations that aren't sophisticated or pretty but they get the job done.

The system of cables they use to move cut timber down the mountain has got to be the ultimate in hillbilly engineering.

Mastering Engineering

The number one cause for depression and suicide in engineering students. This program is so incompetent Satan wouldn't even use it to punish the damned because he wouldn't have the patience to input the 30 letter and number sequence to open the account. See also Mastering Chemistry, Mastering Physics, Mastering literally insert anything here. They're all equally crap.

"My professor assigned us Mastering Engineering this semester."
"That's rough buddy *ties you a noose*"

chemical engineering

1) Hardest of the engineering disciplines and probably the hardest undergrad major ever. By the time you are three years into it, you'll hear strange noises at night and get increasingly paranoid. Some go insane or so the legends tell.
2) making other majors sound worthless
3) intense rape

Dude 1: "What's your major man?"
Dude 2: "Chemical Engineering"
Dude 1: "...how long do you think you'll last?"

Engineering 3.0

During undergraduate engineering studies, a 3.0 grade point average is as large an accomplishment as a 4.0 in a liberal arts education.

"I can't find a job due to employers picking history majors for their GPA, thanks Engineering 3.0"

Aerospace Engineering

A field where your best will never be good enough and girls are rarer than a shiny Pikachu.

college freshman: "I don't really care about happiness in life, or enjoying college..I think I'll go into aerospace engineering."
