Behold, the morning ritual of the mechanical engineer – waking up with the smug superiority that only comes from believing your discipline is the only "real" engineering. While electrical engineers are playing with invisible electrons and civil engineers are just stacking bricks, mechanical engineers are designing the machines that make the world turn... or so they tell themselves. The tribal warfare between engineering disciplines is practically a required course. Chemical engineers think they're chemists who can do math, software engineers think they're not just glorified typists, and aerospace engineers are just mechanical engineers who couldn't handle being on the ground. Meanwhile, physicists watch from a distance, wondering why anyone would choose to apply their equations to something as mundane as reality.
