my math teacher keeps making fun of engineers. keeps saying how high tech companies consult him for help while their engineers fail and are terrible at math

he actually put this on his CV:
"I have completed numerous projects for several high-technology firms which are located here on *****, on behalf of their clients who are located on all seven continents. These projects usually involve solving an applied mathematics problem in a real-world or engineering setting. Usually, the firm has exhausted all of its contacts in Asia, Europe and North America and has concluded that the problem is unsolvable. These solutions permit these firms to compete globally and hire locally"

>engineers conclude problem is unsolvable
>but he can do it

LMFAO

k, kids. An engineer working in consulting is obviously not going to unify a large part of physics. Most engineers get their Bachelors, their PE/P.Eng stamp and do project work.

Some get their M.Eng, but they take more industry related courses and thesis projects.

>>4226386
Depends on the discipline of engineering. He still would not be legally allowed to seal drawings for construction, though.

Stay in school.

Real science doesn't make me cake.

I actually enjoy plant-wide control schemes and instrumentation.

Also, some of the things we do are real science. We invented a new process for tailings management. That project is scheduled to be operable next year some time.

scholar? Basically what I mean is if you buy into group personas / skill sets you are a fool. At the end of the day your major is just a label. Sure it is indicative of interest but if you think that you somehow inherit certain attributes based on what you are doing, if you wear it as a personality, you are ultimately limiting yourself. This major bashing stems from people needing to justify themselves, they are just feeding their own ego by externalizing themselves to their major.
