/sci/ - Science & Math

Goddamit, why don't you faggots stick to maths & engineering already ? Every time you guys try to talk about biology/medecine, you fail horribly.

I mean, shit OP, even a 6 year-old is smarter than you

>What is engineering exactly? What do they even do? They seem like overglorified maintenance men or carpenters, based on what I found. Help me /sci/, I don't get what they even do.

Basically, engineering is the most overrated "science" branch ever. Every engineer I meet talks and behaves as if he's some kind of alpha scientist , while engineers are just some kind of technicians with a bigger salary and ego. It's always funny to see engineers calling themselves "scientists" when they don't know jack shit about scientific thoery, research method or scientific reasoning and their favorite "scientists" usually consist in Carl Sagan, DeGrasse Tyson or Dawkins for those with a fedora tendency. So if you have no imagination and no desire to push boundaries, I guess engineering can be for you.

Also, engineering is basically the easiest scientific branch out there. It always make me cringe when they go whining around "oh my god I'm a computer engineering, i work so hard, engineering is soooooooooooo difficult, calculus omagad" when 99% of engineers don't have a PhD or an equivalent. Overrating oneself is a typical engineering trait.
