/sci/ - Science & Math

What a superficial question...

Physicists
Engineers
Doctors

In that order.

i'd say engineers typically are the dumbest on average simply because they don't need to spend as much time in school to have a fruitful career.

then probably doctors because they spend less time thinking analytically and more time memorizing a shit ton of things.

Doctors are obviously smarter since they have to go to school longer.

comparative vs. superlative

can OP? i say nay

Doctors get the most vagoo thats for sure

No doctors are smarter than engineers
But yes physicist are the smartest of the three
I'd go as far as saying that mathematicians are smarter than physicists
I don't know enough to make an informed decision about it, but superficially to me Euler seems smarter than Newton

A physicist, engineer, and doctor walks into a first grade classroom. A student asks them "What is 2 + 2?"

The physicist, after taking a moment to think, answers "Thanks to the development of mathematics and number theory, we can conclude that 2 + 2 is equal to 4."

The engineer promptly pulls out his trusty calculator, types in some numbers, and answers "Thanks to the marvel of modern technology, the answer is 4."

The doctor looks at both the physicist and engineer and answers "4."

The physicist and engineer both glare at the doctor and asks "How do you know?"

The doctor shrugs and said "I memorized it."

Physicists

This shit isnet even debatable. Everyone knows this shit.

\thread

Depends on what type of engineers...

Electroengineers would be at the bottom, hands down.
Doctors don't really need much intelligence to complete their education, but they need a buttload of ambition and will.

Some engineers are dumber than that, though.

Doctors in pysics are the smartest.

moar of OP's pic

Doctors are smarter than engineers
Despite the common notion that engineers think critically about problems, most of them lack substance.
They don't go beyond what they've been taught and their view of the world is very narrow minded and dry.

>>1881649
i'll agree with that. Engineers really are dumbshits!

Engineers, are smart enough to pick a program that doesn't drag on till eternity. Therefore:
Engineers > doctors = physicists.

From what I'm seeing, engineers are the smartest. They don't have to spend as much time or money on their education and they can get careers that pay reasonably well. Now, they may lose in a Jeopardy match, but at least they aren't saddled with the equivalent debt of a new home like a doctor, or spending the better parts of their lives fretting over whether or not they'll have the funding to continue their work like a physicist (physicists who mock those who aren't educated like they are, but nevertheless require the generosity of the unlearned's pocketbooks).

>>1881657
LMAO....
Every other post seems to disagree with you

Everyone knows engineering is shit tier, sorry bro.

>>1881657
Further proof that engineers lack substance
Science is not destination, its a journey and if you can't appreciate that you're not any more enlightened that the rest of humanity.

Anyone who can't teach them selfs the above subjects and need to go to college to learn are not smart at all.

FYI I'm not an engineer. I simply regret taking a science major over an engineering one.

Thinks the world is all about money. Have fun being a wage slave the rest of you life.

>>1881679
Have fun eating dirt pies and mud biscuits.

It depends on the level of schooling. If all three have PhDs, I'd say Physicist > Engineer > Doctor, but all three are probably close. The reason most engineers overall are not as smart is because they do half (or less) the amount of school as physicists and doctors before becoming specialized and their particular job.

>>1881689
Except you fail to realize that undergrad programs for both the physicists and doctors a re easy as tits in comparison to eng.

>>1881687
LMAO.....

When is the last time you met an unemployed physicist? Engineer is actually more prone to layoff and shit. It is an oversaturated field.

>>1881698
says who?

>>1881698
>thinks engineering undergrad is hard

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
you sir are the true joker

>>1881616
Curious to know why you think "Electroengineers" would be at the bottom.

Engineers
Doctors
Physicist

>>1881687
>Implying US engineering 4 year programs are not being phased out in favor of certification programs.

Have fun with your worthless degree, as younger and younger kids with less schooling take your jobs.

>>1881698
Not true. Physics ugrad is probably more challenging than all disciplines of engineering from a conceptual standpoint. The main way that engineering is more difficult is that you have a ton of project obligations going on every semester by the time you get to your senior year.

>>1881742

You need to quantify "hard", "challenging", etc and then run statistics with p<.05 before you can say anything definitive nigger.

You know how I know you're an undergrad?

Engineer-fag here. Question is BS. There will always be exceptions to any generalisations that you make, so why generalise?

>>1881753
you don't, because i'm working on a PhD in control systems :)

>>1881735
How can engineering by replaced by certificates?
Would like a civil engineer who made bridges be like replaced by bridge technicians or something?

>>1881735

I thought that was compsci

>>1881761

i dont think he knows what engineering is :l

>>1881735
>greentext

lol

Physicist > Engineer > Doctor

Physicists are the smartest because they are the ones that are conducting the pure science that everything else stems from. Engineers then take the findings of physicists and apply them to create some new technology. You don't really need to have any form of critical thinking or problem solving skills to be a doctor. They pretty much just memorize what does what.

Also, there is much truth in this. >>1881608

>>1881805
>Engineers then take the findings of physicists and apply them to create some new technology
okay. Lets see...
Paul Lauterbur( a chemist) invented the MRI
John Heysham Gibbon Jr(a doctor) invented the artificial heart along with the lengthy and complex procedure, which made not only heart, but organ transplants possible
Willem Einthoven(a doctor) invented the first practical electrocardiogram (which had been preceded by technologies develop by engineers, however those were very rudimentary equipments used to measure electrical activity in the body)
If engineers today develop medical technologies it is strictly tweaking, engineers do not create, they duplicate.

>>1881876
Engineering
en·gi·neer·ing
[en-juh-NEER-ing]
–noun
1. the art or science of making practical application of the knowledge of pure sciences

Their professions are irrelevant. They were applying the findings of pure science in order to develop new technology. That's engineering regardless of who does it, even if they don't have the title "engineer."

Doyou guys realize this is pertty subjective?

That depends on the doctors, engineers and physicists in question.
