What is the difference between Mechanical
Engineers and Civil Engineers?
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.
Civil Engineers build targets.
To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as
big as it needs to be.
Engineering the Human Body
Three freshman engineering students were sitting around one day
arguing about who might've designed the human body. The first one
said, "It must've been a mechanical engineer. The human body has all
those levers and pivots and stuff - a mechanical engineer must have
designed all that."
The second one said, "No, it had to have been an electrical engineer.
The complex way the nerves are wired up to the brain must have been
designed by an electrical engineer."
Then the third one said, "No, it was a civil engineer. Who else would
have run a waste water line through a recreational area?"
