Mechanical Engineering Humour Thought

Book excerpt: Most mechanical engineers work in offices, but depending on the job, they can also visit worksites, which might include oil platforms or skyscrapers. Many engineers have a 9-to-5 schedule, which makes for a nice work-life balance, but overtime work isn't unheard of in this career. Is mechanical engineering the career for you? Learn about the glory that awaits you in the mechanical engineering profession... if you can get past all the obstacles. In this book, the author explains the pros and cons of this notable profession with accuracy, cynicism, and humor. You'll enjoy his honest (if sometimes harsh) tongue-in-cheek observations. Find answers to these pressing questions: - Why does everyone think they can do mechanical engineering when they don't have a clue? - How did the engineering terms jerk, slug, nut, and screw become household words? - Why doesn't anyone listen to mechanical engineers? - Where are the mechanical engineering superstars? Do you have what it takes to be a mechanical engineer?
