ENGINEERS!

My Son is in his third year of electronic & computer engineering at Purdue, my wallet will never be the same.

True...but it will be a good investment in his future. I'm very appreciative of my parents sacrificing a lot for me to attend engineering school.

Me too. I'm not able to work as an engineer, but it was the best overall educational foundation available. Everything I learned in addition to the math and science has served me well. Learning the math and science helped me "learn how to learn," which is essential because no matter what job you get, you'll have to learn new things.

Unfortunately my family would not be able to afford Rose-Hulman today. The one criticism I have is that they have played along with the illicit inflation of tuition that plagues our country. There is no college in existence that is really worth what they charge, especially those that have climbed into the $50K per year territory or higher. Certainly some schools and some majors can make it seem like a reasonable investment based on expected employment prospects, but it's gone beyond ridiculous. But that's what happens when free markets are not allowed to remain free.

Hey! Apparently I am an engineer!

When your alma mater's engineering school treats you like an alumnus (i.e. asks for money), that's pretty much qualifies you as an engineer, right?

Or maybe of the school of engineering inherited the alumni list of the of Institute of Safety and Systems Management?

Nah, I'm going with being an engineer! It would help explain some of my social etiquette.


Hooray! I think.

Sometimes there isn't really a "field". Think of satellites or software in cloud computing.

I get the gist; we call them "stakeholders". When I was designing class 8 long haulers, I tried to talk to as many truckers as I could and spent countless hours getting immersed in operation and maintenance.

Of course, you can't make every stakeholder 100% happy; that's where trade studies and validation come in. And then... are you asleep again?

Speaking of class 8 trucks, that Walmart concept truck may look awesome on paper, but I bet there are very few drivers who'd want to put up with it.

Whoops. Does it help if I never set foot on campus in LA?

As a Notre Dame fan... No. No it does not.

Disappointed by the poor Boilermaker presence in here.

BSCE with minor in Surveying.

Make all the "target builder" jokes you want, but it takes a special kind of engineer to deal with people at public hearings for any transportation project.

You poor poor soul.

Municipal / state employee? Or do you work for a living and work for a consultant?

I built a Purdue filter to keep you guys out. How did you slip through the net?

We're slippery devils. Just look at how we slid into 14th place in Big 10 football; that's just how good we are.

FYI to any Rose-Hulman Alumni or parents of Rose-Hulman Students. Former president, Dr. Sam Hulbert is in the hospital recovering from pace-maker surgery. We are planning to send him Christmas cards from alumni to help raise his spirits this holiday season. If you are interested, PM me for more info on where to send a card.

Yea it definitely makes things interesting. No matter what the project is you're always pissing somebody off.

I'm on the consultant side. Somedays i wish i wasnt on the private side, but then payday comes around and all is forgotten
