They design all kinds of stuff: buildings, roads, sewage systems. Some of it they do a good job at. Some of it not so much.

So, how do you feel about civil engineers? Please, keep it civil.

I completely agree.


They're just swale. Get it? Swale?

Take it easement folks. It's just civil humor. ;P

Three engineers, a mechanical, an electrical, and a civil, were talking and they started talking about religion.

Mechanical Engineer: God was of course a mechanical engineer look at how well the joints and muscles work together. A true marvel of mechanical engineering.

Electrical Engineer: Sorry, but God was obviously an electrical engineer. Just look at the brain and the entire nervous system. An amazing feat of electrical engineering.

Civil Engineer: I'm sad to have to say you are both wrong. God was obvious a civil engineer. Who else would put a waste disposal system through a recreation area.

Mechanical engineers build weapons. Civil engineers build targets.

This was our favorite line in the Engineering College. :D Civ E's. Pfft!

You deserve your own circle of Hell just for that.

I wonder what the bidding for that contract will be like.

Is that a Roundabout way of saying you didn't like the jokes? Should I Traffic in busier circles?

Merging in some areas makes it difficult to be civil.


The grass is always greener over the septic field.


Glad we're not being graded on this subject. I'd feel drained.


You should take a survey of opinions here.

A groundbreaking idea there!

Scarab Sages

But are survey results concrete enough?

Dam. Should we construct better ones?

Let's just keep it on the level. Nothing de-grading.

So thats what a Civil Engineer looks like...What does an Uncivil Engineer look like?


A surgeon, a lawyer, and an engineer are playing golf. Ahead of them are three blind players, who are playing terribly, but obviously enjoying themselves.

Their caddy says "I hope you don't mind. Those brave men are firefighters who lost their eyesight putting out a fire at the clubhouse. The course lets them play for free whenever they want"

"I know a top opthalmologist I can refer them to!" says the surgeon.
"They should have sued. They could afford their own golfcourse!" says the lawyer
"They should play at night" Says the engineer.

I hope people aren't straining themselves to come up with posts for this thread. The stress might get to you.

We certainly wouldn't want fatigue to set in. People might get to the breaking point.

I hope we can structure the conversation so as to gauge when the pressure might be causing a wedge in our community.

In a roundabout way...


I prefer to have Dynamic conversations, but I like having Static posts.


I also like to Integrate other posters into these Derivative threads.


Let us also not Dredge up old threads.

Scarab Sages

But I'd certainly like to keep the conversation fluid.

You are Pumping this thread for all it is worth.


This thread has been stamped "Revise and Resubmit".

Back to the drawing board.


Have to come up with some new ones. I'm zoning right now.


I am drafting up some new comments.

We'll give them the treatment they deserve, as long as they're built on a solid foundation.

You are such a CAD.

That statement is within acceptable tolerances.

A math and engineering convention was being held. On the train to the convention, there were both math majors and engineering majors. Each of the math majors had his/her own train ticket. But the Engineers had only ONE ticket for all of them. The math majors started laughing and snickering. The engineers ignored the laughter.

Then, one of the engineers said, "Here comes the conductor". All of the engineers piled into the bathroom. The math majors were puzzled. The conductor came aboard and collected tickets from all the math majors. He went to the bathroom, knocked on the door, and said, "Tickets Please". An engineer stuck their only ticket under the door. The conductor took the ticket and left. A few minutes later, the engineers emerged from the bathroom. The math majors felt really stupid.

On the way back from the convention, the group of math majors had ONE ticket for their group. They started snickering at the engineers, who had NO tickets amongst them.

When the engineer lookout shouted, "Conductor coming!", all the engineers again piled into a bathroom. All of the math majors went into another bathroom. Then, before the conductor came on board, one of the engineers left the bathroom, knocked on the other bathroom, and said, "Ticket please."

An artsie, sick of working at Mickey D's for what had seemed an eternitude decided to get a job working as a labourer at a construction site. Being a usual overconfident artsie, he soon began to brag to the other workers about all sorts of things. One day he decided to brag that he could outdo anyone in a feat of strength. He made a special case of making fun of the wiry engineer on the site. After several minutes, the engineer had had enough.

"Why don't you put your money where your mouth is," said the engineer. "I will bet a week's wages that I can haul something in a wheelbarrow over to that outbuilding that you won't be able to wheel back."

"You're on, little guy!" the braggart replied. "Let's see what you got."

The engineer reached out and grabbed the wheelbarrow by the handles. Then, nodding to the young man, he said, "All right: Get in."

I am a liscenced, practicing civil engineer. For the most part, we are very boring and no one pays us any attention. Thank you for making a thread about us. I will now go back to designing a vacuum sewer system.
