Because they're a lot like pre-meds.
Why are engineers hated by everyone else on STEM?
People hate engineers?
There is some jokes here and there about engineers, mathematicians and physicists in my uni (like pi = 3, asians and normie stuff). If you do your job and be a actual nice guy to deal, no one will hate you.
I must say that actual hate exists towards slackers and people who don't do their job right.
only on Veeky Forums and it's actually just thinly-veiled envy
>engineering doesn’t care about the “why”
except it does, to a point. at a certain point you just need to accept some things as axioms otherwise you’re literally double majoring in physics and even that will boil down to answers that aren’t certain
We say it is "explanation"; but it is only in "description" that we are in advance of the older stages of knowledge and science.
The peculiarity, for example, in every chemical process seems a "miracle," the same as before, just like all locomotion; nobody has "explained" impulse. How could we ever explain! We operate only with things which do not exist, with lines, surfaces, bodies, atoms, divisible times, divisible spaces how can explanation ever be possible when we first make everything a conception, our conception!
They're the nurses of STEM
engineering undergrads who take high level science/math courses are dumber than shit, from my experience
PhD engineers = surgeons
PhD scientists = internists
BS engineers = nurses
BS scientists = CNAs (asswipers)
should be
phd engineer = surgeon
phd scientist = assistant nursing 101 lecturer
bs engineers = nurses
bs scientists = unemployed
