i talked to some students at my school who study engineering a few times and like all they do is make shitty robots that tip over bottles and shit? where's the practical use for this after school i just dont understand
Its weird how I forget about the Death Tunnels yet I'm reminded of them every 2-4 weeks. Like my body physiologically rejects this idea.
people would have probably already died in Elon Musks death tunnels
Ah, but we don't know that people haven't!
Not problems like "What is beauty?" Because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy
Problems like "how the fuck am I going to heat my home when the state electrical grid is completely fucked and it's been 3 days without power in a frigid ice storm"?
Also the planes, tanks, and ships that launch those missiles. And to be fair as well the bus that those schoolchildren were in when their missile hit it. And the road it was on!
Hello, I am an engineer who designs electrical systems for buildings. I like to think that, for the most part, I am reducing harm in the world by creating buildings that don't catch on fire.
well if the boys from /c/finance and all get together maybe we can get our own chip manufacturing off the ground. i’ve been thinking about moving into research and majors based on figuring out how to manufacture computing parts. we could literally build the peoples’ chip
Huawei is worker owned, and they're shifting towards manufacturing their own chips.
Ya know, just in case you ever wanted to Brain Drain the US and hop overseas.
As a note, a lot of european countries quote their salaries post-tax. When I was browsing around and saw their engineering positions being paid half or less than an American equivalent I was a bit thrown off for a moment till I factored that in.
Yeah I think that as an engineer, you still can get paid better in the US at the end of the day (everything depends, of course), but once I re-ran some numbers, it made more sense. I could also be wrong, but I figured someone would jump in and correct me.
you get paid more, until you get sick, then you pay not to die and also get fired
Not if he's specializing in semiconductor physics. AMD is only a chip design house.
They depolarized the warp core, scrape the gunk out of the Jeffrey's tubes, re-allocate power, and push the warp engines to their limits. What they aren't is miracle workers
We're getting ionized tachyon interference that's disrupting the range of our annondyne regulator. If we can't repolarize this flux in the central positrons of the computer then there's no way I can get that beta deflector array back online.
Engineers do loads of useful things like build sewage systems and trains. If the engineers go away, there will be no more trains 😢
If Rick&Morty and/or its fans are any basis for forming an opinion about the population as a whole, what most people think that "Scientists" do is actually shit that Engineers do. Seriously, Rick's not a fucking scientist, how many times have you seen him testing a hypothesis or collecting data or proving/disproving a theory?! All he does is build shit. Engineer. Case closed.
He discovered all the principles necessary to turn a human into a pickle, most scientific shit I've ever seen
But seriously he's a mad scientist, mad scientists don't really follow the established procedures
Turning a human into a pickle is the highest form of a Lakatos research program I'll have you know.
I like to think of people who do research for speed runners are more like scientists. Also the people who make video essays for YouTube are a lot like scientists. Take this vid for example. We have the context, we have the background on why it's important. We have a method (talking to people and asking for connections) and we ultimately get a conclusion. The rest of science is just letters to the editor arguing about "well, what if he's wrong?" I've seen many figures in scientific articles that are just confirming that a hypothesis is sound in different cell lines.
