Why does is it seem most engineer majors are awrkward loners? (srs)

[leanmachine22]

I'm an electrical engineer major and I seem so out of place. They're good people at heart but a good bit are weird and you can instantly tell from their demeanor that they don't socialize much if any. Also they are very few girls in my major. Their is ONE cute one and the other 5 or not attractive. I tend to find pre med, accounting, and business major to be the coolest people. Really it's just the engineer and computer science majors that are weird.

Why is this?

comp sci major here and i'm not awkward. way to generalize.

Didn't say all, I said a good bit of are awkward. Maybe it's because they're smarter than average and people don't sit well with their interest?

[cry0genic]

its the way it is

sacrifice social life for knowledge what can i say..

fuk all

[Biscophan]

Most engineers are weird? You may be on to something...

[bustedbisquits]

Industrial engineer here. Yea, there are some weirdos out there. Just wait until you have to work with them. I'm not the prototypical engineer by any means, but oh well. The ones I've encountered love to drink, so that's good enough for me.

Alert the ****ing press..

[JahRo225]

All the engi's I know are cool as sht. But to answer your question, we actually have a somewhat difficult major.

[chris_knows]

There's a lot of socially awkward ones (I notice it's usually the international students), but the weird thing is that every actual engineer I've spoken with tend to be pretty chill.

So is accounting.

[JahRo225]

So is accounting.

lol, you'll think otherwise once you get past those weed out classes.

[Smykowski]

A lot of them are nerdy but they are generally smart(some stuckup) but mostly they are just cool people

[HGM1989]

they are the least clean too brah. Ive gone to the bathroom in the engineering building, strong lack of hygine/aim in these doods.

[QueueEDee]

EE checking in. would rather hit the bong and play video games than go to da club.. umad?

[SolidCarmine]

I'm a PoliSci Pre-Law major and my best friend is majoring in computer science, a lot of engi majors I've met are really stuck up and nerdy. They have to constantly state how hard their major is and how my major is "pathetic." Have met some cool engis though.

[Awarebrahhh]

It depends a bit on the major and how much of a top univ it is. Generally, the harder the more nerdier people are. Had some of both worlds in my time.

[brown_man]

Computer Engineering major here.

I'm cool as fuk brah, I am fawkin Zyzzzzzz brah

[Love-Feet]

Im weird as fukc and aint even mad, stick to your cool krewzzzz OP

[ruskye]

Basically it's because the difficult stuff is only done by the people with poor social skills and usually less good looking. The good looking people can't be bothered with this **** when they could having sex with equally good looking people. Reason why you barely see people that look like they lift on hard enginering careers and computer science. That **** is hard and requires a lot of shut-in time. Also reason you'll barely ever see a hot girl on these places. Im doing computers stuff (C/C++ and more) and there was this hot blonde girl that lasted one day in class. Thats it, one day, and she dissapeared. The guys seem like good people but i am actually the one that looks antisocial there. They talk about memes in real life. They say stuff like "fap", "FUU" and all that ****. It's stoping being funny thanks to them. Also there are those mac-***s and twitter-***s that are just plaing annoying. Im reconsidering studying this ****, it's pretty ****ing boring aswell. It's probably interesting but just the whole experience of going to class is so ****ing boring. I can't pay attention for 7 hours a day when half of the **** is really boring (databases class, can't stand that ****. The moral of the story is basically: we teach you how to program a database of anything, like a high class hotel, so rich people buy the tickets and you get paid **** for doing the hard work). **** it. Also no girls. No girls man.

Man most of the dudes I have classes with are fat as fuk, greasy, and lame. Like I said before. They're good people but they are just too off the social norm. Instead of going to parties they stay in their dorms reading or playing xbox. Come out and have some fun geez, and talk to girl on a romantic level for once.

[brown_man]

WTF^^

That faucet is a 2002 model, you definitely need to upgrade your sh!t brah.

[moosecakes4all]

Premed major here and awkward as fuk cuz.

[ScotlandBrah]

Mech student here, pretty much what I've found in a year and a half of studies ^

[liftinsumthin]

Dunno guess some ppl just get unlucky... Lol im almost the same as OP, if we were brothers i guess i would be the weird one. Im 19 too, black and also studying EE. But the difference is u are smashin bishes and I aint..

[AnimalNation]

lol @ accounting. I'm an accountant and I do not fit in with the other accountants. They are like an alien species to me. All I hear is golf this, horse racing that. Bad jokes that aren't even funny all day long. Some of their bitch wives call up and abuse them over the phone and make them buy **** on their lunch breaks.

Most of the cool kids end up dropping out after 6 to 12 months because they can't pass the first year.

[RoyScience]

I'm a Mechanical Engineer major.
I will tell you..I'm a bro.
I provide the lulz
I lift.
I'm so chill.

[wulpurgis]

you'll probably find that intelligent people are cerebral, aloof, caught up in their own minds, etc.

it's sorta hard to be smart and NOT be like that. so i think it's really a matter of degree. a person might be very outgoing and social, but still has to withdraw to study, think about things, and whatnot.

personality types and learning styles are probably good indicators of intelligence and professional preference. but people can make themselves exceptions with hardwork!

[Tracker54]

I'm on the last year of my BSEE right now, and thankfully we don't have ANY weirdos at all. Just normal, social and funny people...hell, most of them are in a serious relationship.

HOWEVER, some of the overlapping classes we took had the most sorry weirdos I've ever seen...mainly the guys from Comp. Science and Software Engineering. Like taken out of that Socially Awkward Penguin thread.

I think the most geeky **** we talk about in my class must be the latest in cell-phones.

[ComradePhelix]

Because we actually had to work in high school to get into college instead of partying all the time, while you slacked off and socialized, but got into college anyways because of affirmative action.
