( OT ) On Clinton vs Bush.
"NOYB" wrote in message link.net... "DSK" wrote in message ... "NOYB" wrote In undergrad, I majored in Mechanical Engineering, with a minor in economics. Now *that's* funny. Nobby, did any of your engineering profs tell you that the laws of physics can be trumped by faith & ideology? No wonder you became a dentist, I would be afraid to drive over any bridge you built. I still build bridges, but it'd be impossible to drive across any of 'em. I'd would not want to deive across any bridge designed by a mechanical engineer. :-) But then I would not want a podiatrist to perform brain surgery either. |

But then I would not want a podiatrist to perform brain surgery either. So, who did you get to perform your brain surgery? A lawn mower repair man? Personally I hope to avoid both Nobby's sort of bridges (both the dental and the dream varieties), and brain surgery no matter who performs it. DSK |

Not a significant structural engineering course in the lot really? What do you call "Dynamics of rigid Bodies" "Principles & Applications of Eng. Materials" "Mechanics of Materials" Designing a bridge was a freshman statics exercise when I was in school. Clueless as usual Agreed. DSK |

Simple 'beam' design as taught in statics, as well as what is covered in mechanics of materials doesn't come close to the needed information for bridge design.......you are a fool. Clueless as usual Agreed. glad to see you admit you are such a fool DSK |

Why, no... those course wouldn't land one a job as a bridge designer, but that's not what I said. With the knowledge in those courses (plus, perhaps I should add, a little common sense) one *could* design a bridge that would not fall down. Maybe that parenthetical qualifier lets you out of the picture? .......you are a fool. Maybe, maybe not... but I'm not the one dredging for any excuse to call other people names. Are you really 9 years old or do you just act this way on the internet? DSK |

I had Civil Engineering I and II in my ME program. It followed Statics and
Design. "P.Fritz" wrote in message ... "DSK" wrote in message ... P.Fritz wrote: I'd would not want to deive across any bridge designed by a mechanical engineer. :-) Why not?

It is no different than a podiatrist have a course. section in emergency room or surgery.....doesn't make him qualified to practice it..... "P.Fritz" wrote in message ... "DSK" wrote in message ...

Do you really think that would qualify you to do bridge design? No, not now. I graduated in 1993, and took the EIT exam...but never worked as an engineer. If I had pursued engineering, my degree *would* have qualified me (eventually) to do "bridge design". But you are right...if I really wanted to design bridges, I'd have studied Civil Engineering. Mechanical Engineers build bombs and weapons. Civil Engineers build targets. |

The best doctors (and dentists :-) ) I've meet have all been engineers or math majors in undergrad......something about their problem solving skills :-) |
