How can you spot an extroverted engineer?
He looks at the other person’s shoes.
Size matters. Back in the old days, when I was a college freshman, you could always spot an engineer by the size of their....slide rule.
LOL
I am an engineer, and I resemble that!
My Father was in the 208th Engineer Combat Battalion. Their CO was Lt. Col. Leslie O. Scott.
A guy here on FR sent me an email with their entire official history in WWII.
Reading some of the instructions Col. Scott gave his officers it was clear that he was a true engineer. Not just some guy who had worked in construction.
I also noticed in Gen. Schwartzkopf’s biography that the highest ranking grads of West Point get their choice of assignments. He said they usually choose the Engineers, tho he chose infantry.
Don’t even try.
My kid just graduated as an astronautical engineer from a small private engineering university, a total geek school.
These guys all quivered and shook when they had to take a fine arts class.
It was pretty funny.
BS in computer science here. Not exactly an engineer, but can definitely nod in agreement to many of the engineer jokes. :)
Three engineers were discussing God.
The civil engineer said God must be a civil engineer. I mean look at all of those arteries and blood vessels and capillaries that deliver nutrients and oxygen all over the body.
The mechanical engineer said God must be a mechanical engineer because of all the ways the body can move. Just look at athletes and dancers and what the human body can do.
The electrical engineer said obviously God is a civil engineer because only a civil engineer would put a waste disposal site and an amusement park in the same place!
LOL...two of my best friends are engineers. Thanks for the ammo!
What’s with the t-shirts?
Each one has some incomprehensible scene on the front of them that elicits laughter from other engineers.
Finnish Hymns?
Good stuff, thanks for the laughs.
A mathematician and an engineer are at the end of a long hallway, with a gameshow host.
The host tells them - behind the curtain at the other end of this hall is a wonderful prize! Here are the rules: When the whistle blows, you go half the distance to the prize, stop, count to ten, go half the remaining distance, stop, count to ten, and repeat until you get there. First one there gets the prize.
The host waves his arm, the curtain parts, and a BEAUTIFUL Victoria’s Secret Model is revealed. The whistle blows, and the mathematician just starts shaking his head. The engineer immediately starts running.
The host asks the mathematician, “Why aren’t you moving?” He says, “It’s an infinite series. I can approach, but I’ll never get there!”
The host calls after the engineer, “Why are you running? You’ll never get there!” He yells back, “I can get close enough!”
Three surgeons are discussing which patients are the easiest to operate on.
The first surgeon says that electrical engineers are the easiest to operate on; “Once you open them up, you just refer to the wiring diagram that’s inside.”
The second surgeon says that mechanical engineers are the easiest to operate on; “Once you open them up, you just refer to the blue print that’s inside.”
The third surgeon says that politicians are the easiest to operate on: “They’ve only got two moving parts, their mouth and their anus, and those are interchangeable.”

Now with all us Engineers in the same place...
Has anyone taken the Myers–Briggs personality quiz?
I am an INTP, and was wondering about others who chose Engineering.

Son of a mecbanical engineer (yes, weapons: rockets, missiles, jets).
Thanks. #2 dead on.
