engineering thread...for engineers

well, you see, everyone claimes one's own.....UofT would say UofT engineering is the best, which they are pretty good at it. but i don't think waterloo is above us. you see, waterloo is ranking above us, is probably because more employers would like to hire the students from waterloo, waterloo has a better co op courses than we do, we don't have co op years, so their students basicly have more experience when out of uni than us. but mcmaster is better at technologies than they are. we have better professors, more professors with more international prizes. but in canada, you really have to suit yourself in one university, you can't just say one is best then i am going to that one. like i would certainly think uoft has a better aerospace engineering program than either carleton, york nor ryerson, eventhough carleton has a wind tunnel and ut doesn't, right?
i myself have a different view of engineering, which is very different from my best friend who is in waterloo, as my father is an engineer, and his family were not.

I am done w/ME at Iowa State, and got my master also. To bad that most of you guys are still biting the books. Or could be I am just too old. Iowa State has one fine ME program.

Oh I missed the 4 day weekends of drinking. And that time for rioting and was watched nation wide on CNN.

Yeah. I wish I graduated by now. I hate reading books.

UofA country crusade is NEXT WEEK!!! for those of you that don't know what country crusade is, let me explain.
country crusade follows our fine engineering drinking tradition, where the engineers from UofA get loaded onto 4 school buses and drive some small town about 100 km away from Edmonton and try to drink the town dry. we'll drink anything alchoholic there and try to make sure there's nothing left when we leave.

Do you know ?? The Polytechnique (or the engineering faculty of University of Montreal) is the biggest beers drinkers in the City of Montreal. A enginner of Molson calculated the if we construct a pipeline from the Molson Factory to the Polytechnique (20km), this pipeline's construction cost will be entirely paid back by the the amount of beer bought at the Polytechnique in 2 years. Imagine how big drinkers they are...

the is some impressive drinking you guys got there. too bad we don't have a brewry too close to our campus, but we do have 2 bars right on campus.

At U of I, engineers are the most unsocial people in the entire campus. Problem is that the school load for engineers (homework, tests, etc.) is a lot and ridiculously hard. By the time you are a senior at U of I enrolled in engineering, your social life is completely dead. You are basically studying your a*s off every day for the entire school year. I am lucky right now: since I'm a freshman, I don't have a huge workload on top of me. That is why I can actually concentrate on things like partying, having fun, going on defense forums while doing my math homework:rofl: , etc. Yeah, it is going to be quite painful next year though.

 

[PiSigma]

engineering schools are pretty much all like that no matter where you go. homework is just never ending, there are always more lab reports to write. and the exams just don't stop. but it all pays off afterwards, we do get paid more than most occupations once we graduate, if we graduate alive.

Hey, I was in Montreal previous to last March. Pretty good looking girls out at bars and dance joints. Enjoy some Molson. Oh, no hockey that year.

school load for engineers

Over 1/5 of 25000 (slightly more) are Engineering Majors at Iowa State University. And I can claim that Iowa State was the ONLY school that had a nuclear reactor until dismantled during my last year there.

BTW: My cousin went to UoI-Ch. Urbana, computer science.

 

[PiSigma]

we also had a small nuclear reactor in our dent-pharm building, had a meltdown a few years ago. i think they shut it down after that.
we also had a builiding designed by 4 architects and build by 2 construction companies, it's called biological sciences. there are actually doors that open to a brick wall, a shrinking hallway, a lecture hall that can't be found for a month because it's doors were in a closet.
