Ребеночек раздумывает над выбором между civil engineering и mechanical engineering, а может еще каким-нить engineering.

Пока я как заботливая мать могла помочь только одной расхожей мудростью:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons Civil Engineers build targets.

Но теперь (спасибо avva за ссылку) сделала более подробную выборку:

Mechanical Engineering: We make things move.
Civil Engineering: We don't.
Aerospace Engineering: WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO MOVE!

Structural Engineering: Because architects don't know what physics is.

Structural Engineering: It ain't pretty, but it works.

Aerospace Engineering: "It actually is a rocket science"

Engineering: The art of figuring out which parameters you can safely ignore.

Engineering: 1+1=2, but to be safe, make it 3

Engineering: We're lazy people working hard to invent ways to let us be even lazier.

Engineering: If you're lazy, you're a bum; if you're smart, you're a nerd; if you're both, you're an engineer
