The 6 Types Of Engineers

You know you're one of them

The 6 Types Of Engineers
gmu.edu

As an engineer myself I would just like to say that I love my college and all my fellow engineers. I have friends who are each type of engineer and they are all fun. If I don't like you, it's probably because you're an asshole.

1. The Theta Taus

The Theta Tau brothers always hang out with each other. In every lecture, you will see an entire row of them sitting together with their sweatshirts and matching hats. They work together in labs, group projects, everything. I wonder if all the professional fraternities move like this. Most of them are super smart and super dedicated to engineering because honestly, even their social life is about engineering.

2. The other frat boys

You'd think that engineers aren't usually frat boys, but of course, lots of other frats have engineers in them. I'm not gonna talk much more about this because I'm sure you all know what frat boys are like and these engineers are pretty much just like them. For some reason, there are waaaay fewer girls who are engineers and in social sororities.

3. The Stereotypical Engineer


I think this is the person that pops into a non-STEM major's head when you say 'engineer.' That kid who is actually passionate about math and physics and who would spend all their time in Ingalls Engineering Library if they could. It's possible they own a t-shirt that looks like the above, or at least an official BU "College of Engineering" t-shirt. They love all their problem sets and are probably the ones who are messing up the curve in your class and the reason you failed chem 101.

4. The Stoners

Every college has its stoner population and ENG is no different. After all, engineering is pretty stressful and what better way for engineers to blow some steam than to smoke a bowl? These guys can do calculus high and honestly can't sit through that boring physics lecture or biology lab sober. They can probably also engineer some pretty cool ways to smoke.

5. The Slackers

These are the people who honestly couldn't care less about physics. They're engineers because they want to make good money after paying ridiculous tuition and because they did pretty well in math in high school anyway. However, they are still trying to get by engineering like they got by in high school and they're just passing all their classes and getting by.

6. The Unicorns

These are the rarest kinds of engineers. They are double majoring in engineering and music, getting 4.0 GPAs, networking with their professors, working two jobs and are still seen at every Allston party there is. We secretly hate these people.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
