An Engineering Poem

My life was full of volts and amps
But not the spark of love.
But now that you are here with me
My heart is overjoyed.
You turn the square of my heart into a sinusoid.
You load things from my memory
Onto my system's bus.
My life was once assembly codev But now it's C++
I love the way you solder things
My circuits you can fix.
The voltage across your diode is
Much more then just point six.
With your amps and resistors
You have built my resistors
You have built my integrator.
I cannot survive without you
You are my function generator.
You have charged my life, increased my gain
And made my maths discrete.
And now I'll end my poem here
Control, alt, and delete…

Why Date an Engineer

We know how to handle stress and strain in a relationship
No “couple” enjoy a better “moment”
We have significant figures
EK301:the motion of rigid bodies
Projectile motion: Do we need to say more?
Engineers do it to specification
According to newton, if two bodies interact, their forces are equal and opposite
We know it's not the length of the vector that counts, but how you apply the force
We know the right hand rule

Some Funnies

Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, “Where did u get such a great bike?” the second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, “Take what u want.” The second engineer nodded approvingly, “good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit.”

One For Thurbo

the graduate with an engineering degree asks, “how does it work?”
the graduate with a science degree asks, “why does it work?”
the graduate with an accounting degree asks, “how much will it cost?”
the graduate with an arts degree asks, “do u want fries with that?”

You now you are studying engineering when:

The salespeople at the local computer store can't answer and of your questions.
When you go into a computers store, you eavesdrop on a salesperson talking with customers and u butt in to correct him and spend the next twenty minutes answering the customers questions, while the salesperson stands by silently, nodding his head.
You're both in the backseat of your car, she's looking wistfully at the moon, and you're trying to locate a geosynchronous satellite;
Your laptop computer costs more then your car;
You have modified your can-opener to be microprocessor driven
You have more toys then your kids
You have a habit of destroying things in order to see how they work
The projector at the presentation don't work and u rush up to the front to fix it
You don't even know where the cover to your personal computer is
Your camera has more computing power then a486DX-50
More people understand '42' then '69'
You remember people by their email address
You have even saved the power cord from a broken appliance
You think jokes about being unable to program a VCR are stupid
On vacation, you are reading a technical manual and turning the pages faster than everyone else who is reading john Gresham novels.
You use a cad package to design a bird bath
Free body diagrams excite you
you ask someone what language they know and expect them to answer Spanish, French, Pascal, c, basic, assembly or java
your three year old son asks why the sky is blue and you try to explain atmospheric absorption theory
trans-1,2-dibenzoylethylene is one of the words that you type rapidly
everyone else on the Alaskan cruise is on deck gazing at the scenery, and you are still on a personal tour of the engine room
you've tried to repair a $5 radio
you understand more then 20% of the above reference

tell-tale warning signs your child is going to be an engineer:

you buy your child an education software program, and she asks which authoring tool it was written in
she can program your vcr, while you haven't been able to get it to stop blinking “12:00”
he has removed the voice box from his talking Elmo doll and reprogrammed it
he is picked last on every sporting team.
She believes that if she's really good, Santa will give her a client/server network for Christmas
He has recently accepted a scholarship to UTS, and he's five
She can't get a date
He has defeated the “child-guard” software on your web browser and has connected to www.playboy.com

Engineering pick-up lines

I wont stop bugging you until I get the address of your homepage
You fascinate me more then the fundamental theorem of calculus
Since distance equals velocity times time, lets' let velocity and time approach infinity, because I want to go all the way with you.
My love for you is like a concave up function because it is always increasing.
Wanna come back to my room?... and see my AMD Athlon?
How about me and you go back to my place and form a covalent bond?
You're sweeter than fructose.
We're as compatible as two similar power Macintoshes.
Why don't we measure the coefficient of static friction between me and you?
Your body has the nicest arc length I've ever seen.
You're hotter than a bunsea burner set to full power!
Hey baby, let's make a stress-strain curve together.
Let's convert our potential energy to kinetic energy.

Alex's Spading Tips

The 3 rules of spading

Rule 1: wear your best socks. If you want go out on the town and impress, it is important that you wear your best socks. Cartoon socks get extra points.
Rule 2: don't be a sleazy, make a new friend. No need to watch a Bond movie before you go out or to try to sleaze onto yoru target, be friendly, find things in common and have a conversation. You will come across as natural and believe it or not confident. She/he will be much more likely to approach you on a later occation or even introduce you to their friends.
Rule 3: there are no rules. Even if you aren't wearing your best socks just go for it.

Myth's about spading

The girl or guy you have your eye on is not a mythical object. They are a normal person just like you. Approach them casually and do not be intimidated by their looks. This is especially important for the guys. It is also a myth that you have to get really drunk and make a fool of yourself to impress (this on also goes especially for the guys.) another myth is that guys make the first move. It's a little known fact that girls often use body language to make the first move. The vast majority of guys are completely oblivious to body language, so do yourself a favour and ask the expert help of one of your female friends. They may even give you some recommendations or introduce you to a friend or two of theirs. A final myth is that mullet cuts are cool, under no circumstances get yourself a mullet cut or admit to listening to retro music (though we all go to the uni retro parties and secretly like it).
