Understanding Engineers

The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?"
The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"
The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"
The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"

Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?

Mechanical engineers build weapons and civil engineers build targets.

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. just look at all the joints."

Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. the nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections."

The last one said, "No, actually it had to have been a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through arecreational area?"

But an Artist created it. Thwwp!

A humorist gave it life. An optimist initially gave it long life; a realist finally shortened its life.

A priest and doctor and an engineer are stuck behind a foursome that is playing slow. They ask the course commando what the hold up is. He tells them that the foursome are former firemen who lost their eyesight saving the historic clubhouse from a fire that would have destroyed the place if not for their heroic efforts. The country club allowed them to play for free and no one was to interfere with their game. Upon hearing this, the priest said "I will pray for them", the doctor said "I will contact a colleague and perhaps we can help them", the engineer said "Why can't they play at night?"
