Shudder. The memories are flooding back.

Shudder. The memories are flooding back.

Good times…
Fucking nostalgie.

Milwaukee School Of Engineering nuff said

Engineering classes were 35 years ago…. It was the same then too! I still have bad dreams!

Masek?

This is why I became a history major, spent four years having open discussions with people who actually respected me, never had to suffer a single class taught by a professor’s perpetually drunk pet TA, didn’t encounter any sexism, and came out with a “useless” degree that taught me how to be a thoughtful, well-rounded human being and, most importantly, DID NOT QUALIFY ME FOR A CORPORATE JOB ADMINISTERED BY EVEN BIGGER FUCKWADS THAN THIS PROFESSOR.

“Has masters and PHD in computer science… Uses handwritten transparencies” !!! I know that guy! He taught my algorithms and data structures course. I have often wondered if the man can even use a computer! lmao

So you decided to become worthless?

Funniest thing I’ve seen in a very long time!

This right here, my nomination for feminist of the year. Deal with sexism, pffft I’ll just find myself a nice little safety zone where I can ignore it exists.

Seriously, it’s like saying it’s African-Americans’ fault for suffering racism in the States when they could have just gone back to Africa and not dealt with relevant social issues. Deciding to willingly stick your head in the sand like an ostrich doesn’t make you a well-rounded human being, it makes you an idiot.

But don’t worry, I’m not taking the comment to heart. The above 3 comments pretty much express how much I think of your opinion.

Sincerely, A girl who made it through Engineering

Definitely had “Oh no, I didn’t realize I was 10 minutes over time” in my second year. He taught us Thermo and Dynamics, which happened to be back to back so he just cut 10 minutes out of Dynamics to do “one last example” in Thermo yet always managed to finish Dynamics on time….

Also had a prof famous for how he dealt with e-mails: if your message extended past the opening screen (ie it was longer than 3 lines) the response would always be “Come see me” Now, I do understand we were lucky to have profs who were actually willing to talk to us, but this guys office was a black hole for time. A one word response would have been much better.

What’s it like to not understand the basic concepts that govern the universe in which you live? Luckily you know how to have discussions about people who did.

FUCKING-ZING!

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

wtf who’s heard of that shitty school. Georgia Tech is where it’s at

I have an Anthropology degree and manage a network of 20k computers and sixty servers. I constantly have to tell the degreed computer professionals how to do their job.

Dr. Jin Park?

I know the person in the picture. What an honor.

You SHAW. Go do something worthless.

You sir are an idiot.

Also, all the people who can’t handle engineering in the first few years usually drop out and enroll in the business school.

If we engineers don’t lose sleep now learning, we might lose lives later.

No, but it was their fault for selling off their people for rum, of all things.

Wow, really? How long were in you in engineering school? I’ve never had problems with sexism at my school and I was there for 5 years. In fact, I experienced less sexism in the engineering department then I did in the language department – which is what my minor is in. And perpetually drunk TA? What school did you go?

I considered taking history or art as my major coming straight out of high school because that was the area I was best at. Then I decided to do something different with my life because I wanted to challenge myself with something new. Perhaps I don’t understand your definition of well rounded, but in my opinion it is a person who is willing to try many things – even if its difficult. Your post makes it sound like you ran away from engineering because it was too hard for you it. I refuse to be judged by someone who couldn’t stick it out through the program and then has the balls to call themselves “well-rounded”. Especially when I survived it and it was the area I was weakest in.

Furthermore, I cannot understand how you could be any sort of “thoughtful person” when you essentially just called every engineer in the field sexist, narrow-minded, and, let’s not forget, “fuckwads”. Don’t get me wrong. I know engineers have their issues. Yet, I think you should withhold your judgement until you meet more engineers.

23 years since I graduated in Computer Science, and I see things have not changed!

With that “logic”, I can blame you for Nixon and Shrub (little Bush). Wait – you LIKE them!

Everytime an engineering student transfers to business, the rankings of both schools go up!

It’s probably because the professor wrote a chapter in the book and will get a royalty for every copy sold. Why not require every student to buy it then?

 Flashbacks to Statics this past semester. I love the subject and I’m pretty good at it, but GOD that course was a nightmare.

I CAN TYPE IN ALL CAPS TOO! 

13 describes one particular professor at Rutgers (I won’t name anyone).

He goes off on tangents (Mech.eng. measurements) and therefore doesn’t teach, but expected everyone to follow the entire lecture.

Average on midterm: 40.30; I got a B in the course because I was actively in class and usually had an answer.

So glad I’m done with him for now–but I have him again very soon.

Especially if you like receiving cars and tattoos from the Athletic department and having everything you have accomplished stripped away after you leave

I studied Engineering at the University of Technology, Sydney and I had always assumed the Professors in Universities in the U.S.A were of better quality than in Australia because all of high technology has either been invented or further developed in the U.S.A. Also the U.S.A to date, has been the only country on Earth to have landed not two but 12 astronauts who walked on the Moon.

The pictures with the included remarks and the posted comments have confirmed for me that the lecturers in the U.S.A are of no better quality than in Australia.

I was reminded of that Futurama episode in which Professor Farnsworth tells Fry: But Fry, I can’t teach, I’m a college Professor!

Let them rot in hell !!! All of them !!!

didn’t realize that people actually have to try to get into Madison. I guess you would have to if you’re stupid.

North Carolina State? where the hell is that? 

Don’t bitch. you don’t even go to a top 5 school. Your classmates are the people who we thought were stupid back in high school. 

ah sweet memories

Computer Science in the art of programming, maintaining a network of computer and servers isn’t taught in that degree. Sadly there are very few schools that actually have a vein of computer science for us Network Admins, and to boot the one thing that does help us also hurts us which are the certifications, since it is so easy to get them they don’t mean a thing anymore. :(

The mistake lies in students who assume Computer Science has to do with computers. It doesn’t.

I go to a private highschool and this is true for me now….. *sigh* at least im prepared

In all fairness, sometimes it’s just easier to hand-draw something (like the visual conceptualization of a data structure, or a trace) than it is to “draw” it using a computer. The professors I had would draw on the board for that purpose, but I suppose a transparency would work the same.

#14 is often correct.  If you know the concepts, you can derive the “obscure” facts.

you dont even get the concepts!  It ment the prof can derive equations for nulclear fission but cant set up a power point.  And I have experienced this many times as an engineering student.  I have profs with PHD’s that can do amazing things but they can’t properly or successfully download zipped folders from an online drop box

Nice collection. By the end, I was getting pretty annoyed at him and that smug smile.

They’re saying if you derived Nuclear Fission then you shouldn’t have trouble learning about powerpoints. If someone solved N=NP you would think he would be a good problem solver.

I am a female and an engineering major. Ill have hell with my classes and have to study my ass off to pull a C but I can gladly say I didn’t take the easy way out. Just because someone is an engineer doesn’t mean they aren’t well rounded people. In fact id say they are more well rounded because of having to think outside of the box, work with other on long tediious projects but still managing self control, and maintain a social life. Don’t talk shit about what you don’t know.

The sad part is that this is 99% of this has happened to me.
