You know, engineers have feelings too! (in a rational, quantifiable, logical way)....

Thanks guys, for opening my eyes...no longer will I lump all engineers together in one emotionless,humorless class. From this day forth, thanks to your insight, I will venture out into the world to change the misconceptions of all the Engineers of the world, be they mechanical, chemical,biomedical, civil, or even, dare I say it, Train Engineers!

Viva la Engineers!

Thanks, there's a lot of misconceptions out there. We just want to be understood.

I remember a time when myself and my college roommate were taking a basic electrical engineering course (the kind watered-down for mechanical engineering students like ourselves). EE is a little different from say, ME or ChemE, in that they usually do not have to practice religious attention to units, since there are no "Imperial" electrical units, and they do not have to tolerate such cryptic units such as microsiemens, in-lb-s^2, etc. Anyway, we were working feverishly through some EE homework one night when my roommate looks up from his book, paper, and calculator and asks very sincerely,

"What are the units for volts?"

Viva la Engineers!

Bump!

Cool!

That reminds me of a joke about 'Asynchronous Transfer Protocol'... ;0)
