Touche. Honestly for me it was one of those things that i love physics, and i love machines, so i figured it was a perfect match. Then freshman year i Socialized with other psych majors and found the stuff facinating.

Eventually you have to face that fact that if your free time is spent studying a different subject than what your learning, then your interests lie elsewhere. Considering both fields end in the same sort of income bracket, why not switch?

I would never switch to CS, despite loving tech, because i hate programming. I can not think of a more tedious way to spend en evening.

People hate people because of lacking social skills, or lack of morality. People like dumb people that do nothing if they are nice.

Engineers tend to have bad social skills, and they dismiss everything everyone else does as useless. Its bad form.

We all love what they do though.

>>3990668
There should always be a place for politeness in every thread.

>>3990670
Engineering is just a job. It implies intelligence if they are successful, but you can not say anything else for certain about their character. Some engineers are no doubt dismissive or unsociable, many more are probably not.

Most of these people are talking about an observations from their run ins with engineers. Its a bit similar to racists who judge a race based on who they have met. they don't assume that everyone is like that, they simply make the small leap that seeing as how the majority of a group have acted a certain way, there is a propensity for said group to be that.

Its even more justified seeing as how certain jobs draw certain types of people. Lawyers are weasels, lairs, and snakes. They like to debate. They like to hear themselves talk. It gives you an edge in this job.
Engineers obsess over the usefulness of objects, love technology, and worry about efficiency. If they don't they are bad engineers. It doesn't mean some aren't well rounded, but people who have these traits are drawn to the area and so stand out as the rule.

Epifauna, also called epibenthos, are aquatic animals that live on the bottom substratum as opposed to within it, that is, the benthic fauna that live on top of the sediment surface at the seafloor.

INFAUNA: Aquatic animals that live in the substrate of a body of water, especially in a soft sea bottom.

Deep Lead Mining Plant

As large deep lead mines developed, simple gold recovery plant constructed on the surface was not efficient in treating large volumes of gravels. Efficiency was gained by treating the gravels high in the air, after which it was simply dumped below, rather than carted away to make way for more treated material. This led to amazing "factories on stilts", with steam engines, puddling machines and other plant suspended high above the ground.

Can we all just agree that you're all a bunch of undergrads, and undergrads suck? I mean, take this as an example. I recently got my MSc in CS. I studied one year abroad at UW, Seattle on graduate level. Generally, the people around there were really cool, and smart as fuck. Then, sometimes, I took undergrad classes and I had to deal with the undergrads stuck in the basement.. Hooolyy shit what a bunch of retards. They were everything that /sci/ makes CS-people out to be. EVERYTHING. But yeah, that only goes for undergrads, and I'm willing to bet it's the same in other departments.

>> No.3990769

nah honestly CS and engineers contain almost all of the asspies and art/philosophy contain the hipsters and faggots but most other majors are pretty chill, CS is definitely the worst in my experience though

This is true, I've been on /sci/ for a while now and I can still remember how the meme started when /b/tards raided /sci/ with gay porn in "engineers are gay" threads. If you've ever bothered to read through a survey thread you'd know that /sci/ is about 70% undergrads: ~60% engineering, ~30% Physics/math/biology majors and ~10% other "soft science" majors (e.g. economics). Furthermore there about 20% highschoolers/dropouts and 10% actual scientists, engineers and professors (there are actually some really interesting people that frequent /sci/!).

Different branches of science form an interconnected web. Otherwise unrelated fields can, and often do, contribute to the advance of others.
