Engineering Students: Before And After

The evolution of engineering ambition is painfully accurate. Historical engineers built bridges, skyscrapers, and rockets with slide rules and graph paper. Modern engineering students get absolutely wrecked by thermodynamics equations that make grown adults weep. The muscular Doge represents our romanticized view of past engineers tackling impossible challenges, while the sad regular Doge perfectly captures that moment when you realize entropy isn't just a concept—it's the universe actively working against your homework.

The ultimate fluid dynamics dad joke just dropped! When Rey introduces herself, the follow-up question "Rey who?" leads to the punchline "Reynolds number" - that brilliant dimensionless quantity that predicts flow patterns in different fluid flow situations. Engineers and physicists everywhere are snorting coffee through their noses right now. The Reynolds number (Re) literally determines whether your flow is laminar (smooth) or turbulent (chaotic), kind of like my dating life. Next time you're watching water swirl down a drain or calculating airflow over an airplane wing, remember: it's not just fluid dynamics, it's a Star Wars pun waiting to happen!

Someone asked for a height guess and unleashed a mathematical detective! Using the known dimensions of an iPhone 12 (14.6cm), this forensic mathematician created a makeshift measuring stick, calculated the ratio, and deduced her height with terrifying precision. 4.31 feet! This is what happens when you give engineers nothing better to do on social media. Next time just lie about your height like a normal person!

Those aren't gang signs - they're circuit diagrams being drawn in mid-air. The Spider-Man on the left is clearly illustrating a voltage divider while the one on the right is responding with the universal hand gesture for "your impedance matching is flawed." This is just standard communication between electrical engineers who've run out of napkins to draw on. Nature's whiteboard.

The corporate world wants you to spot the difference between two aircraft with identical wing areas, but physics students know better. While the shapes differ dramatically, both planes generate the same lift because—surprise!—wing area is what matters for lift calculation, not the shape. This is the aerodynamic equivalent of saying "2+2=4" and "1+3=4" are different equations. Engineers are silently screaming somewhere. Next time your boss asks you to find "meaningful differences" in identical quarterly reports, just remember: sometimes there truly is no difference, no matter how much management wants one.

Welcome to the exclusive club of electrical engineering snobs! For the uninitiated, voltage is actually the difference in electric potential between two points. So technically, they're not the same thing—electric potential is the energy per unit charge at a single point, while voltage measures the potential difference between two points. It's like knowing the difference between wealth and income while everyone else is just trying to pay their bills. The smug satisfaction of understanding this distinction is the electrical engineer's equivalent of correcting someone's grammar at a party. Congrats on being technically correct—the best kind of correct!
