Discipline Memes

The engineering discipline hierarchy strikes again! Mechatronics engineers flexing their multidisciplinary muscles (literally) among industrial robots. These folks wake up with the supreme confidence that comes from mastering mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering all at once. They're basically the triathletes of engineering—except instead of swimming, biking, and running, they're designing servo motors, programming PLCs, and optimizing robotic arms while the rest of us mere engineering mortals specialize in just one field. The engineering superiority complex is practically a required course in the curriculum.

The unspoken solidarity of engineering students is perfectly captured here! When a professor starts dunking on non-engineering majors, the classroom transforms into this unified chorus of smug agreement. It's that beautiful moment of disciplinary tribalism where everyone's thinking, "Yes, those liberal arts people are just coloring with expensive crayons while we're calculating load-bearing structures that will literally prevent buildings from killing people." The superiority complex in STEM fields is practically a prerequisite for graduation at this point. Nothing bonds future engineers faster than collectively pretending their problem sets are more important than someone's 20-page analysis of Proust.
