/sci/ - Science & Math

I've not made it myself, but every one I've talked to from family and friends to random engineers says it's fucking great. Can you slip into a dress?

We mostly take it up the bum.

it really depends what orientation you prefer. i myself sometimes feel sorry for the bottoms; the tops however have it the best.

You really should have googled this first then came back with more detailed and specific questions. Better yet interview engineers at local firms via e-mail. Bound to get better responses than /sci/

I'm not interested in being with an Engineer I'm interested in Trains.

FOOLED THE SHIT OUT OF ALL OF YOU FAGGOTS.

>>4214634
If you're into man trains you may as well take up engineering.

Holy samefag, Batman.

>>4214653
hyaha it's actually not samefag.

nice try though

i studied mechanical engineering but my job is in software mostly. it's pretty fun, but i think i lucked out honestly... most mechE shit seems kinda boring.

I'm a research engineer currently working at Nova Chemicals in Calgary, formerly worked at Coanda Research in greater Vancouver. I'm a double-alumnus of UBC in mech, and my masters thesis was on dynamic stall in flapping wing flight. My experience is quite unlike most line engineers, however. My research interests are in unsteady fluid mechanics at low Reynolds numbers, however since starting work at Nova I've been the guy with expertise in quantitative laser-based flow measurements (PIV, PTV, PLIF, etc). I usually work on the instrumentation, data acquisition, and post-processing (including custom software development) for measurements for harsh environments such as turbo-machinery and reactors.

I have a lot of fun with it. I've always had a strong interest in aerospace since I was a kid staring at planes and rockets on the Discovery Channel, and fluid mechanics was an extension of that. But you really need to have a strong interest in what you're doing. If you don't like engineering, and you just want a good paying job with good stability, I suppose it wouldn't be so dry that you couldn't put up with it and live for the weekends. But really, don't waste your time like that.

I have a bachelors in EE. I work at a power plant as a project manager. 2.5 years of experience. Being a project manager is like being a distrusted babysitter for adults, basically... Sure as FUCK never boring though.

"Oh, you have a degree in EE? Then you should be able to design our chemical-injection system and put together work packages for welders."

Uhhh... guess I'll give it the ole' college try...

i like how good advice seems to have appeared after he left

>>4214864
could you go more in depth about that job? Also, what pay did you start with?
Thanks yas!

alt-click doesn't do shit

fuck you op

>>4215039
Try it in Firefox.

>>4214585
Engineering is boring, it is mostly just following orders and grunt work.

>>4214585
Engineering is slighlty better then being a janitor.

>>4214585
My retarded cousin is an engineer. It is great that society has jobs for people like that.

>>4215048
>>4215053
>>4215054
obvious samefagging is obvious.

>>4215057
Nope

>>4214585
I thought about being an engineer when I was like 10. I was pretty stupid back then.

Lousy samefag is lousy.

>>4215046
I am in firefox, asshole

could someone explain to me the origin of all the engineer-hate on this board? Ive been here for years, and seriously dont even get it. still.

>>4215110
butthurt science majors can't accept the fact that burger flippers make more money than they do, and contribute more to society than they do. this is projected into hate towards engineering disciplines and pretty much any career which earns more than $30k a year.

>>4215110

A lot of people on this board are Math, Physics, or Chemistry majors. They are all aware that Engineers make a lot more money them and are resentful of this fact. It also has a lot to do with engineers getting way more women than them.

>>4215110

Obviously any realistic person will do no more than joke about it.

Engineers need scientists and scientists. The two come hand in hand.

>>4215134
We value the engineers in our lab alot. Who else is gonna get the coffee and do the cleaning? Thanks guys!

>>4215140
>implying you can afford coffee on $30k a year

>>4214585
>engineering

>>4215156
>implying coffee is more then 30k

And you wonder why people think engineers are dumbfucks.

>>4215161
Silly science major, you shouldn't be collecting gay porn. This is why burger flippers make more money than you.

Science majors are seriously jelly, enjoy your unemployment.

>>4215164
>implying that's what I implied
>implying I didn't imply that living off $30k a year isn't a miserable existance for you and the cause of your butthurt.

Chemical engineer here

making 80k per year entry level with a bachelors

you jelly sciencefags?

EE here. I reverse engineer microchips for the Department of Defense. There is a lot to consider in a typical project, it is often quite interesting in concept though the details and implementation can suck.

If you really think that life is a race to aquire shit, then you have a serious mental retardation. You are the embodiment of all that is wrong with the world. Do humanity a favor and kill your parents, your siblings, and then yourself.

An movie stars are dumb as fuck and make millions. What is you fucking point son?

If your life is spent in pursuit of greed I pitty you. Get some help.

>>4215197
Your life spent in pursuit of not being employed because no one wants shitty 'scientists' who can't do anything important.

>>4215189
[more mad needed]
You've got your shit mixed up bro. Thinking it isn't a better existance to have material possessions and enough money to live a comfortable healthy life. Good luck supporting a family without realising this. Don't worry bro, I'll give you my food scraps and old clothes to help.

>>4215195
>makes no point

Bussiness majors make a shit ton more then engineers.

>>4215178

Not really. I'm a geology major. A bachelors degree can pay similar to that if I got into the oil/gas industry.. which I will.

>>4215200
>implying there aren't more unemployed engineers then unemployed scientists

Dumb post like yours just prove /sci/'s point. Engineers are retarded dumbshits only concerned with money. LMFAO.

>>4215201
No they don't. He just posted two examples to the contrary (one for bachelors degrees and another for masters). And in fact, the most popular undergraduate degree for S&P500 CEOs is engineering.

>>4215202
Where the fuck do you live where there are poor scientists? Seriously? WTF are you even talking about? Are you high son?

>>4215218
Engineering unemployment is less than 3%.

Can you say that about physics? Nope.

By the way, when is the last time a physicist cured a disease, wiped out a virus, created new prosthetics, increased food output, saved lives?

Never. :)

>>4215227
Science is not a lucrative profession these days.

>>4215228
Of course never you stupid fuck. Why would they? 10/10

>>4215189

Liberal arts major here. This guy is right. People always say that to liberal arts majors like myself, but I am just as good as any science major. Stand together my science brother, we are the same.

>>4215218
Poor science major, surely someone told you that your contribution to society would be minimal and you would be doomed to $30k a year, before you went to community college.

>>4215225
>claiming that engineers make the most money out of any profession

>implying bankers don't make more then engineers

>implying actors don't make more then engineers (and dont even go to school)

You keep thinking you are making points, you aren't. Please take some time to review basic "logic" and how to construct a proper argument. Right now you sound as "dumb as an engineer".

Yes, engineers make a decent amount of money. SO DO A THOUSAND OTHER PROFESSIONS (including scientists).

>>4215237
Yep. So not only do they not make money and have higher unemployment, they have no claim to improving the human condition.

So really they just circlejerk over their (lack of) usefulness.

It's ok bro, what's your paypal account? I'd be happy to send a few dollars so you can buy clothes etc It's not your fault you're a shitty poor leech of society science major.

>>4215201

Yeah, that is the rankings for ALL degree, not all degree minus business majors.

>>4215251
ENGINEERING!

The President makes the most money anyways.

>>4215238
shutup libtard. i hope you live in the hood filled with niggers that will rape you and your family daily bc of your poverty

>>4215251
>seriously thinks that engineers make more then bankers

WOW

>>4215265
Implying an engineer can't love his job.

A+ logic

>>4215257
Reported for racism. Enjoy your ban.

>>4215245
Statistically, they are the most likely to be the most wealthy. This doesn't suggest that the most wealthy people are engineers. Rather that, while some quants make substantial sums of money, most do not. And while some business majors end up as CEOs, many more end up managing a K-Mart. And while some actors make it to hollywood and become millionaires, most are part time baristas. As such, engineering has some of the highest median and average income of any profession.

>>4215238
>>4215238
Yeah. Physicists and liberal arts majors at least aren't all about the money, stupid fucking engineers.

We're actually doing what we love.

>>4215201
Yeah, some do. Especially the ones that go into finance and whatnot. But not all of them luck out. A lot of them dont make much money at all. Those rankings are based off average salaries.

>>4215272
I wasn't aware that ~60k was poor? What backward ass place do you live?

>>4215272
I don't understand how people can love to put cock in mens butts? Engineering is just plain wrong.

>>4215271
>Implying Ron Paul is anti-engineering
Please. Just like any good Libertarian, he wants to do away with 'civil-engineering unions' and replace them with engineering marriage.

>>4215278
>implying 60k isn't shit-tier salary
>implying you actually make that amount in real life and are proud of it.

>>4215291
Hey hey hey now, $60k isn't bad at all for a starting salary......

>>4215295

I find more faggots the business and marketing area.

engineers only study math and science to make money, that is why theyre faggots

also im considering switching to engineering...

>delusional child is delusional

Grow up little guy

>>4214585
I work for a subsidiary of Tetra Tech. I work in instrumentation and control for heavy industrial clients in oil/gas/wastewater and other energy sectors.


Most of my job is based around putting together wiring packages for clients. I select measuring equipment for large processes and make CAD drawings for how to wire them. Occasionally, I configure software to run plant control algorithms and I design human machine interfaces so that people can work with the equipment.

>>4215328

>>4215295

Considering the average salary is low $40's K per year...
Sixty grand ain't bad at all.

>>4215409
Median income is right around there. But average income is in the quarter-million range (the 85th percentile or so).

He's fucking trolling, you idiots.

I started off as a welder/machine operative for a stainless steel engineering company that specialised in conveyor systems for the food industry. We would fit, maintain and modify systems in large food factories. We were responsible for making sure scientists had the thousands of cheapass microwavable meals produced at a price so that they could afford them.

>mfw no degree but I made ~3k in the market today and will probably make more tomorrow
Enjoy working like a dog all through school and throughout your career while I travel the world without a care thanks to my trailing stops. Also when you go to work each day I would like you to take a good look at your boss, remember that he owns you while I own a tiny piece of both of you.
