Whats the deal with engineer hate and physics/math worship?

Engineering is literally just taking sections from your math and physics books. So why would you hate on them? Because they only focus on certain sections of math/physics?

Engineers don't always do research or go into academia but instead basically become overpaid blue collar workers. Every faggot that posts on /sci/ has convinced themselves that they're going to make some revolutionary change to their field of choice, and so they pride themselves with thinking they will be making a greater contribution to humankind. Sadly they will realize midway through their post-doc, while grading a bunch of engineering students' exams, that the average engineer their same age is making substantially more money than them, working with VERY similar applications.

Engineers don't know math. The don't never head the definition of a topological space or a Gamma functions.
They know that they can use Newtons method for numerical simulations and since they need linearizations, they learn how to work with matrices. Of course, if you know what a matrix is and how to invert it, when you talk to a non-STEM major you're a math genius dealing with mystical greek symbols. But fact of the matter is they don't learn any of the math subject in even the smallest detail. In turn, you won't see an engineer create new math. Apart from the people who have to do algorithm design, no mathematical concept from after 1930 is used.

engineering students are notorious for cheating and not giving a shit about the material. obviously not every one is like this but at my own school, whenever someone gets caught cheating and the story circulates, it's almost always someone in engineering.

their academic misconduct gets tolerated because it's a huge faculty that rakes in cash from foreign students, who also comprise a good chunk of the people who cheat.

This. Engineers usually never go into academia/research and just end up building things. They're essentially equivalent to code monkeys, but they don't code most of the time. Every time I've seen a professor tell an engineer to do research or close to research for a term project, their first thought is to find the coolest application of an already existing technology, which is not research. They don't realize their entire life they will be listening to business people and taking orders the entire time with no original thought.

Oh man, don't get me started. At work, I see aerospace stress reports come from a company called Ferchau, which seems to specialize in exporting work to India. I never imagined it was possible for an "engineer" to not know what the Pythagorean theorem is, and yet I saw a certification stress report in which the author failed to find the shear force on a fastener given Fx and Fy. I didn't even bother reading the rest of the report. Keep in mind that these reports are signed by three engineers and are supposed to show that an aircraft is safe to fly.

I won't name the aircraft, because I'm sure that the same lack of quality can be seen in many commercial aircraft from both Boeing and Airbus.

In that case, you'll like what he did instead. He extracted Fx, Fy and Fz from the FEM and found the "maximum principal force" i.e. (Fx+Fy)/2+sqrt(((Fx-Fy)/2)^2+Fxy^2), and since the FEM did not report an Fxy, Fxy is set to zero. Btw, this underpredicts the fastener shear load.

You probably already know about how much everyone hates them for delaying aircraft deliveries and being the main source of customer complaints.

It's a bad time because both Boeing and Airbus have huge backorders; it'll take over ten years of very fast-paced production to deliver all of the planes they've sold. This, plus the fact that nearly every market segment has a plane to fill it means that there's no need to design new airplanes. Not for 5-10 years, at least.

Although, it's actually a very good time to be in interiors work and anything manufacturing related - even if there's just one 787 design, each airline is going to want their interiors to be a certain way, and that requires engineers.

>> No.9574075

>>9574066
From what you said I feel really bad for my fellow aerospace friends. They have to design planes as their main design module project. It's really all for nothing.

Smaller aeroplanes would still be in need of designing outside of Beoing and Airbus though right? I remember seeing a completley solar-powered plane make a trial trip that made it.

That's what I was thinking. Zodiac does have some pretty wicked VIP interior designs. I had to do a business project for them. They were forced to merge 1-2 years ago cause they were eating the dust.

They are also developing a hydrogen fuel cell for cabin uses (HYCARUS) which I found interesting. It's by products could be used in inert the tanks, and the water to be used for boiling water and such.

>> No.9574080

>>9574039
>Is it a bad time because breaking the speed of sound causes problem like what happened with the Concord?
This is another reason why we won't be designing any new aircraft soon - the next "quantum leap" in aircraft is not really clear yet, so there's no real plans for a new product that could displace a competitor in the same market segment. Solving the sonic boom problem, like you mentioned, would be one of these quantum leaps, but, despite all the research funding going into it, I'd be surprised to see a commercial supersonic aircraft entering development before 2030. My personal bets for a next-gen aircraft would be a hybrid plane (as in electric-powered) or a modular airplane (various fuselage section and wing designs and engines that customers can mix and match to get an airplane that suites their needs, plus makes things much easier from the manufacturing side).

>> No.9574091

>>9574080
Ayyy I really like that second idea. I might expand on that in the interview. It would be a good way for zodiac to get back into the game. I do remember hearing of that idea on some science alert network. It would be a lot of fun of trying to design a system that allows for mix-n-match.
I don't get how you could even come close to creating enough free power to help a plane. It would need to be a mix of solar and hydrogen.
Unless;
a) Solar somehow reaches it's maximum of (30% 35%?) max effeciency. which is under materials engineering
b) A new type of chemical energy similiar-to hydrogen is invented.

If you enjoy aerospace design, the project is it's own reward. Plus, getting experience in one thing often-times winds up teaching you something that will be useful to you sometime in the future, even in something completely unrelated.

True, I recall hearing that Textron has three new small(-ish) aircraft in the pipeline - including the sexy Denali. However, these companies have much smaller budgets for engineering, so it's tough to get a job there, and the pay is below average (but you get some great experience).

Don't know much about this, but I'm pretty sure you'll have plenty of competition - a lot of people have been taking advantage of regulatory changes to make money. If your research tells you you can make a good profit, go for it. But remember that there's usually more money in B2B than B2C.

The nice thing about books is that they don't fade like memories do, so there's no real need to fully comprehend a whole book, just be able to pick up on a sub-chapter when you happen to need it. Also, there's not much point in understanding space physics when you can hire or partner with someone that understands space physics. But, don't let me stop you, learning is its own reward

Also, since you're being pretty ambitious, don't be afraid to "cut corners" - no man is an island. Rather than try to be the ultimate self-made man, leverage you money and your network to help you reach your goals. Good luck!

Thank you anon, i mentioned London cause I am going to uni here. Got connection hubs to Saudi, Singapore, India, Italy, and Iceland so far.

I want to have the knowledge on a subject before I dive into a company on it so I know my smartie pants scientists aren't feeding me crap.

>LOW PRICE comes with LOW QUALITY.
You also probably think "bringing jobs back to america" is an idea that is even feasible and are also probably a huge proponent of the coal industry and made in the usa stickers. Economics may be a troll pseudo science but that doesnt mean you can just make shit up and pass it off as fact or even educated opinion.

High Quality -> Higher Demand/Supply -> Higher price
Lower Quality -> Lower Demand/Supply -> Lower price

That's Economics 101

But if you want Pajeets stealing US jobs then OK for you, because it don't matter anyways since at the end even the pajeet's jobs will be automated.

Not that same guy. But if it's low price, that could mean there's too much supply, thus convoluting the market. In the case of India, a country of a billion people and how many IT people, that could very much be the case. If they're outsourcing the easy jobs to pajeets, then the high supply could be plausible because many people will be able to do the easy tasks. This leads to lower price.

Because engineering shouldn't be taught at university, it should be at the technical collages with the electricians and the plumbers.

Universities are first and foremost institutions dedicated to finding novel information, that's why we love the sciences since they introduce the most important form of new information. Of the few engineers who actually go into academia, almost all of their papers are gender studies level bullshit where they vaguely compare some exciting theoretical principle to what they've learned in engineering.

Research in engineering should be driven by private business anyway.

And yeah science undergrads are pissed off because despite studying almost the exact same content they can't get jobs in engineering or medicine. Science degrees are for art students who think they're better than all the other art students.

I agree with this, desu, I've heard a lot of engineering professors and industry professionals complain about the current system. One guy I met with put it best: if the goal of a university is to turn someone into an engineer in four years, then they need to remove the gen ed requirements, and if the goalis to turn someone into a well-rounded individual that is also an engineer, then you need more than four years - you can't have both.

you guys are forgetting there exist subjects exclusive to engineering. Physics/math do form the foundation of their knowledge, but stuff like control systems, transfer functions only became relevant through engineering.
Engineers effectively arbitrate the utility of knowledge and combine it with other knowledge in a directly practical way. This position requires knowledge over several fields, which is why a lot of engineers tend to be pompous. But you cant deny that such a level of responsibility demands a minimum iq.

i remember my art historian friend complaining about everyone in the world feeling obliged to have an opinion on art and shit, even though people are totally ignorant and unprepared. and he was like superjelly because from his perspective, it's not a case with mathematics.

unfortunately had to stop him there with "hol up, we have engineers"
