[–] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (14 children) Isn't physics a pretty integral part of engineering? permalink fedilink source hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 73 points 2 years ago No, integrals are mathematics permalink fedilink source parent [–] Zacryon@feddit.de 18 points 2 years ago Depends on the specific engineering branch. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Sometimes nothing at all. But all engineering branches share one thing with physics: math. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Forester@yiffit.net 12 points 2 years ago* (10 children) For structural analysts it's very important. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (9 children) I think the joke is you don't understand enough physics to make that your gig, so you go engineering as the backup plan.

I’m a complete idiot and somehow earning a bit over $200k a year in the Midwest at forty years old. Sometimes I have to meet with people and I’m like man, just let me back in my hole, wtf am I doing here, I can barely understand what these people are talking about let alone process any of the shit they are saying. I talk, ask questions, sometimes get answers I can understand but always make an idiot out of myself but I keep talking. Everyone says it’s better to keep your mouth shut and be assumed to be an idiot instead of opening your mouth and removing all doubt but I swear I’ve made a career out of being an idiot. If it wasn’t for IT I would be cleaning shit off guys dicks in a brothel somewhere to feed myself. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago In my experience so far asking the question instead of just fucking everything up by guessing is a huge reason why you get paid what you get paid. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago Just graduated from college in IT, I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. I originally wanted to do creative communications but couldn't get past the entrance exam. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pigup@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) I have worked with guys who got physics undergrad and mech E masters. They are both awful engineers who don't really get it. I take this joke too personally because I know it's bs from experience. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] HobbitFoot 4 points 2 years ago The absolute worst is when those kinds of engineers graduate but are incapable of thinking about the problems they are designing solutions for. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cowbee@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago Engineering is just the economical application of applied physics, without Physicists Engineers work off faulty knowledge, without Engineers nothing gets designed. The level of understanding an Engineer needs, however, is purely within the practical and economical, while Physicists understandably have more in-depth knowledge. permalink fedilink source parent
