Default Calling all Engineers

Who else is an engineer?
What kind of engineer?
How did you survive collage?
What do your Jk look like?

I was doing some homework last night and a came across a problem that got me thinking,"I wonder how many engineers there are driving JKs?" so here it is.

Im a senior Mechanical Engineering Major at Texas Tech University and I drive a 2012 JKU sport.

I survived collage by rearranging the pictures into a better looking collage.

I am an engineer. My undergrad degree is in physics. My masters degree is Engineering Management. I worked for my first 11 years out of college for Oxford Instruments where we made superconducting wire for MRI systems. For the past 13 yrs I work for a company making inflatable evacuation slides for aircraft. I am the program manager for our slides used on Boeing airplanes. Engineering can be fun and the career choices are so varied. Just look at me - one day making superconductors out of metal, the next making inflatable fabric slides. The main thing I look for in those I hire is that you need to be willing to get your hands dirty and work side by side with the technicians. Book knowledge alone doesn't get the job done.
I drive a 2012 JKU with max tow. I tow a heavy toyhauler for my toys.

Oh, come on. It's not like you've never seen what an Engineer meant not make it to paper! Just ribbing you guys, I'm an aerospace Quality Manager and see this every day. +1 on getting to the floor, what looks good in CAD doesn't always work out so good in real life.

I'm a Georgia Tech Mechanical Engineer '89. Spent my career in thermal science, designing ultra low temperature freezers and commercial refrigeration. Now in management, running a commercial HVAC service team. Survived GT by studying like crazy M-F, and spending the same energy relaxing S-S. My '13 Rubi is mostly stock. Just have rock rails, wheel spacers, and a CAI. Going to move up to Duratrac 33s soon, possibly a small budget boost.

I work in the engineering dept., does that count? I'm an ASNT NDE LIII and titled a Staff Nuclear Engineering Specialist, not to be confused with a Staff Nuclear Engineer 😁

My first degree is in foreign forensics and intelligence. My second degree is on prosthetics. Not an engineer by education but after clinical practice, I now work for a global leader and manufacturer in the design and development of prosthetic feet and bionics. In short, a lot of R&D, studies, design, patents, and basically, I make people walk again. Just trained a bionic user today how to go up stairs on ours we're prosthesis. This, after 20 years of her not being able to walk up stairs step over step.

I'm currently in the process of becoming an electrical engineer. I'm surviving college by being a single parent. Takes most of the careless fun away. That and being in my early thirties helps too. Don't have that 21 year old drinking problem, haha. Before college, 10 years as a Navy electronics technician, so I've got a ton of experience already in the field. Just need to put in my dues, and get the pretty piece of paper.
