Generalising Engineers

While writing my previous post, something striked my mind:

I find that Mechanical Engineers are pretty nonchalant, Electrical and/or Electronic Engineers are very picky, Civil Engineers have huge ego, Chemical Engineers are very stubborn.

I guess it has something to do with the job we have. Mechanical engineers are usually required to do a little bit of everything, up to the point you just can't be bothered about many things; or rather eating too tall of a sandwich, which one can't be bothered with the bread crumbs that dropped everywhere.

Electrical Electronics engineers are usually dealing with minutely small stuffs, that they tend to amplifies small imperfections. They would be those that cut the lettuce and tomatoes to exact size before stacking them nicely in between the bread. They would be too busy picking up the crumbs while eating the sandwich.

Civil engineers build things that are visible to the rest of the world, which I think, indirectly fed their ego. They would be the ones that would make sure the sandwich are built tall and stout, eating it or not is another different story.

Chemical engineers mostly deal with processes, which usually operate under standard procedures. It takes a lot of challenges to change standard processes. They are the one that would make sure it started with bread, then butter, then lettuces, tomatoes, ham....

These are really good analogies!

Who would have known eating sandwiches and engineers goes hand-in-hand to describe their mindset! :D

AMAZING!
