    As an engineer myself, we should force more engineers to take considerably more humanities classes. Absolutely embarrassing.

      My oldest friend is a mechanical engineer, in highschool he had a "south will rise again" flag in his room. Now we're both basically 40 and I've turned him into a socialist. The nice thing about the math minds is if they trust that you're honest and the facts are on your side they're probably going to come around eventually!
