The graduate with a Science degree asks "Why does it work? "
The graduate with an Engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"
The graduate with an Accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"
The graduate with an Arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"

Understanding Engineers - Take Three

Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of he human body.

One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints."

Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections.

The last one said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"
