How To Pack Like An Engineer

Posted by Kris | Tuesday, March 05, 2013 | , | 1 comments »

Interesting systematic way to pack your clothes, typical Engineer style. Although for me, I am not that systematic in this matter.


Engineers Can Be Cool Too!!

I always wondered why Engineer as a profession don't get as much of attention as compared to other professions such as policemen, lawyers, doctors and teachers. Other profession enjoyed so much attention that most of these professions are highlight extensively in popular TV drama or sitcom.

Doctors, (House MD, Grey's Anatomy)



Lawyers, (The latest show, Drop Dead Diva)

Criminal Investigator, Police,  (CSI, Criminal Minds)



Teacher (Great Teacher Onizuka)

And Even Housewives!!! (Desperate Housewives)

In the end, the only sitcom/drama related to engineer is this:

The Big Bang Theory



And the only engineer is Howard Holowitz, whom is constantly teased in the group because he is an engineer without a PHD degree but he always defended that he has a Masters from MIT. He is portrayed as a geeky fashionista and a ladies man wannabe. (Notice that his belt is very unique)


Everyone has a PHD except the Engineer!! Damn it!



Note that I see that a significant financial bloggers in Malaysia are not from the finance industry but are engineers!! ChampDog is one of them, Kclau has a degree in engineering although he does not practising it.

Engineers are often stereotyped as very geeky and I always get the comment from my marketing friends that highlight on an engineer's behavior... I am not sure whether this is a good or bad comment. Haha

"Why Engineers Like To Ask So Many Questions"

Well engineers can be cool too. Just that i think we are trained to be very analytical, (something we gained during our university studies) and might look to be very geeky in some ways. 

"Why They Need Everything In Black & White, Clear Cut Manner"

"Engineers are typically not a very socialite animal" -> Always stay at home instead of partying the weekend away.




Anyway, I setup a facebook group called "Secret Society of Engineers". (Just search for it) So fellow engineers are welcomed to join the group. It is a group to chit-chat about anything related of engineering fetishes :P

Here is the path if you are interested to join: Just join and I will add you in :)
