We electrical engineers are pragmatists.

yeah, electrical engineers know nothing about anions, resonance, or charges

electical enginers understand charges

im an electrical engineer. that was sarcasm.

that pretty much sums it up for me all i know is that fires are fun…

Just stumbled onto this…. Gee, this comic looks strangely familiar. Sort of like XKCD.
Not ripped off, no… I’m not implying that. Simply emulated. Flattered perhaps?

Funny story: The top panel really is chemistry for chemical engineers, it left off the important part, the part where thats actually a valid resonance structure.

Bitches dont know ’bout benzylic acidity!

“im an electrical engineer. that was sarcasm.” — well said JD

Looks like XKCD? Uhh it’s stick figures dude.

So, every stick figure comic must be a rip off or emulation of XKCD, because it takes so much creativity to draw stick figures with witty dialog that no two people could ever possibly create something like that independently of one another. Right.

I’m also an electrical engineer. This is partially true. My undergraduate studies barely received much in the way particle interactions (i.e. anion and resonance) however electrical engineers do greatly understand and especially how to manipulate charges. I love digs like this though.

Elect B-Eng over here
good cartoon
personally though, chems good and all but as an elect. I don’t care to go into detail about the chem subject… in fact the cartoon sums up most of my feelings pretty well. Although the physics behind the chems not bad.

electromagnetics beeeatch!

both tend to rely on sub-atomic particle distribution

Hahahaha!
My boyfriend is an Elec. Engineer. He’ll get a kick out of this one. Perhaps this is why he’s reluctant to help me with my chemistry

that should be mechanical engineers… thats me…. and sodium + water does go boom….

Engineers/Schmengineers.
A real chemist would skip sodium and go right for the potassium.

electrical engineering SUCKS !

Cesium, my friends. Cesium.
(Or Rubidium if you’re wimpy and want to keep all of your limbs intact.)

@Jeff: Don’t you have to pass some sort of test to get a permit to even get either Rubidium or Cesium?

Notice all the male posts are about the science or competitive or both. The one girl mentions her relationship.

Chemistry for CJ majors:
Sodium + Water = Possible Homicide.

lol that is almost so true its sad,not completely true though, it should be “today we are going to blow things up.”
June 22nd, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Mechanical Engineers: Tiny things in water + tiny things in water = boom.

You could say the same thing about civils. We’re a simple people, we just stick something in the ground, surround it with concrete, and pray to God that it doesn’t fall over.
July 6th, 2008 at 5:34 am
@Jeff: Go on, be a real man. Try and get your hands on some Francium. It’s the single rarest element on Earth, so good luck. But if you want something to put in water and make it go BOOM!!…well go for it.
July 15th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
and so…? wasn’t something gonna burn?
great humour, sorry the civils made it boring…but kuddos on the guy asking for something to blow up.

You’ve actually drawn methylcyclohexane, not benzene. Add a few more bonds to the ring to make it benzene.

PS: My roommate was an electrical engineer. He also took showers that flooded the whole bathroom. I wish I had some sodium or potassium handy….

I’m an EET Major and we fully understand charges and the fundamentals of electricity and chemistry. I however, think that scientists, especially chemists and physicists take simple well known equations and concepts and complicate them, for what reason I do not know.
