What It Feels Like To Include An Electrical Engineer In Your Project

The eternal statistical relativity of science! To an engineer, 0.1% error is practically perfection—they're building bridges, not searching for God particles. But mention that same 0.1% to a particle physicist who's trying to confirm the existence of a boson that appears for a nanosecond once every billion collisions, and they'll laugh you out of CERN. It's like telling a chef "close enough" when measuring salt versus telling a pharmacist "eh, roughly that amount of cyanide should be fine."

Someone actually ran computational fluid dynamics simulations on breast shapes! The colorful airflow patterns show that larger breasts create smoother streamlines with less turbulence. This is what happens when engineers have too much time on their hands! 😂 Next time someone asks why aerodynamics research matters, just point to this groundbreaking "scientific contribution" that absolutely nobody asked for but everyone's secretly fascinated by. The things we do for science!

The eternal standoff between programmer and machine. On the left, the human element: screaming into the void because your perfectly crafted code refuses to cooperate. On the right, the smug white cat (the code itself) sitting at dinner with that insufferable expression that says, "I'm literally doing exactly what you told me to do, not what you meant for me to do." This is programming in its purest form—the computer follows instructions with malicious compliance while the developer slowly loses their remaining sanity. The null pointer exception is just the cherry on top, the computer's way of saying "You told me to look for something at this address, but there's nothing here. What did you expect?"

The correct answer is B, unless you're a student desperately taking a fluid dynamics exam, in which case it's definitely C. Or maybe A? The Bernoulli principle states that as fluid velocity increases, pressure decreases. But what's really under pressure here is every engineering student staring at this question at 11:58pm when the online assignment is due at midnight. The narrowest point has the highest velocity and lowest pressure, but the real pressure peak is in your professor's sadistic smile when they designed this "simple" question.

Engineering professors: "You need precise calculations and specialized software to design an airfoil!" Engineering students after one semester: "Watch me draw this perfect NACA profile with a Sharpie while half asleep." The true mark of an aerospace engineer isn't understanding Bernoulli's principle—it's the ability to doodle a decent airfoil on command during boring meetings. That curved line is worth $80,000 in student loans right there!

The electronic components fairy strikes again! Just when you think your circuit design is complete, the datasheet gods demand their tribute of extra capacitors and EEs (Electrical Engineers) sprinkle them everywhere like electronic confetti. It's the universal law of electronics: no matter how perfect your design looks, you'll always need "just one more capacitor" for decoupling, filtering, or appeasing the dark magic that makes electronics work. The circuit board never truly reaches its final form!
