Hey! Maybe I'll go walk around the mall wearing my pocket protector and see how many hugs I can get today.....
Well, maybe not

Insert obligatory observation that engineers can't find jobs below.

give it up. this field is dead as a profession for americans, its all slowly going offshore, and young people headed for college best see this trend and move into something else that is going to be around, if they want to have a career and earn a decent living.

Without even reading any of the article - sounds like a recruiting exercise for more kids and females.

On the same note: Armed with this knowledge, I think my wife should make cupcakes this week.

[Mikey_1962]

We have our own week?

I would be happy with a three day weekend!

I see you're from Georgia. Are you familiar with the Aerospace Engineering school at Georgia Tech? A family member of mine spoke with their northern Virginia area representative and is deciding between their program and Virginia Tech's.

Myers-Briggs joke:

Do you know the difference between an extraverted engineer and an introverted engineer? The extraverted engineer looks at your shoes when he talks to you.

Three engineers were in the bathroom standing at the urinals. The first engineer finished and walked over to the sink to wash his hands. He then proceeded to dry his hands very carefully. He used paper towel after paper towel and ensured that every single spot of water on his hands was dried. Turning to the other two engineers, he said, "At Hewlett Packard, we are trained to be extremely thorough."

The second engineer finished his task at the urinal and he proceeded to wash his hands. He used a single paper towel and made sure that he dried his hands using every available portion of the paper towel. He turned and said, "At Lockheed-Martin, not only are we trained to be extremely thorough, but we are also trained to be extremely efficient."

The third engineer finished and walked straight for the door, shouting over his shoulder, "At Apple Computer, Inc. we don't pee on our hands."

Always remember;

To the Optimist, the glass is half full.

To the Pessimist, it is half empty.

To the Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Have you hugged an engineer today?

Actually, yes, but we've been married for almost 29 years! :-)

[300magnum]

An oldy but a goody.

A week? Why give 'em a week when they only need 5.475 days? Sheesh.

[Constantine XIII]

woot

[Hatteras]

You mean this is for all engineers? Not just African-American engineers? Is that legal?
