Things only engineers can understand

Engineering is likely one of the most difficult higher education courses available, but it is still absolutely valuable when you finish college with the greatest regard and access to the greatest professions available. You’ve reached the finish line and are now a licensed professional following a grueling study, nerve-wracking examinations, and uncertain prospects. You can announce your well-earned, professional career with confidence, even if you have a specialty in the automotive, aviation, electromechanical, computing, ecological, or civic sectors of the field.

Wait, if you would quit disassembling objects mostly to demonstrate that you can reassemble them, and when you begin to properly articulate what you’re doing you will get hold of situations that every graduate has to experience.

Only people who have learned engineering may completely comprehend the following:

Relationship with a beverage

The script will not operate as it should. To even start to comprehend the technical side of it, you need to spend a week learning the calculations. A burned-out part is the source of the circuit board’s malfunction. All that could fail, occurred. The day wasn’t long enough, but that was okay. You do not require rest. You can take energy boosters.

Opening radio or refrigerator

You would have heard your parents screaming just because you opened the refrigerator to see what is at the back. They are probably not wrong, and you owe them a refrigerator.

Fix my geyser!

Anyone aware that you are an engineer would have asked you to repair their appliances at home, at least once. However, that is not the reason for you to graduate in the field. The projects you have worked on, the theories you have derived and coded at cost of sleep not to repair someone’s geyser or fridge just because you are an engineer.

Girls from outer world

It was difficult to find a group of women in an engineering class. Women were like unicorns. A luxury that only a few can afford. However, more and more girls have started to enter this field which is good for everyone.

Elaborate explanations

If someone asks, why is it raining? – you would respond by explaining the water cycle in detail, then the transportation of water and also the different forms of precipitation, even when it is not necessary.

It does not feel right when you do not elaborate on something. It seems you are missing a point. It seems that even the smallest topics like why is it raining require a detailed explanation.

Sounding like a nerd

Have you ever tried asking someone about his work but immediately regret asking the question? People around engineers often complain about them sounding like nerds and appearing like a freak.

Kid’s science project

Being an engineer has its perks. You can design a better school project for your kid, compared to his classmates. You would design a complex project for your kid, while his classmates will make a simple volcano model with vinegar and baking soda.

Engineer in the real world

Most students realize after completing their education that whatever they learned in school or college is not applicable in the real world. They understand that it was just an exercise to give a distorted picture of the real world. It is not different for engineering students. Engineers must lose their minds to get a clasp “anything is possible” state of mind.

Envying non-engineering students

Students with a non-science background appear to have a lot of time, although it is not true. Engineers tend to envy them for the time they had to hang out, sit in the library, study breaks, etc. Jealousy is tempting when you see them having a relaxing meal without rushing for work and not opening books while eating.

You can comprehend complex concepts since you are an engineer. You enjoy technicalities as there is something regarding them that soothes your mind. You became an expert after enduring social stigma in academia, demanding teachers, and never getting any relaxation. Anything is possible. Kudos! You’re quite close to a heroic figure.

Also, today is the day to cheer all engineers, the people who tell us how science works, and also the minds behind many science fictions!
