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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
