Engineers!

[Kitteh Engimeer]

Anyone else an engineer?

I'm working in aerospace manufacturing. Going for my masters in mechy engineering.

Yes! Me!  Or at least I'm on my way. I'm currently working towards my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. Actually I was an electrician for seven years before I hurt my back terribly, couldn't find work, and decided to back to school. Now I have two more years of undergraduate work. I would like to eventually get my masters too. There is a pretty decent amount of pre-engineering students where I am (FL) that want to go into aerospace engineering. Seems like it'd be interesting work. Personally, I'm really into sustainable energy sources and electric vehicles. I would really like to work for Tesla Motors after graduating--a little silly dream of mine--we'll see.

I spent a bit of time in school for electromechanical technology and robotics but found out anyone working on "robots" spent a LOT of time traveling... Not my cup of tea.

But I can at least say I was in school...

I'm very talented in The Southern Discipline.

*Raises hand* me me!

Currently only a first year at uni, working on a bachelor of electronic/computer engineering and micro electronic engineering.. 4 years full time, was doing physics as well but I'm dropping that by next year since it would have made it 5 years and a lot harder. Don't know exactly what I'll do afterward with the degree, but I've got 3 more years to work that out.

There's about a 20:1 ratio of male to female in engineering at uni, which is unfortunate but will even out a little more once I go full time by next semester.

I'm a Senior Network Engineer with a BS in Computer Science, does that count?  My wife is an electrical engineer and I actually do more real engineering than she does!

I'm considering going back to school for a Masters in bioengineering though.  Looking at Stanford or Berkeley if I can get in.

When I finally decided I was going to transition, I was looking for other m2f engineers. I was a little worried about how I might be discriminated in the field and what kind of career I might actually be able to have as a trans woman, since it has long been a male saturated profession. Personally, I have had no more than five (apparently) cisgendered women in any of my pre-engineering classes.  But in my searching, I found Lynn Conway's page. She's a very accomplished m2f electrical engineer. You all may already know of her, but for any that don't, I found her story to be inspiring and her page helpful.

I love my engineers, I could not do without them. While the scientists are still discussing the deep meaning of some observation, the engineers are fully busy making the gadget work.

So, yeah, I work mostly with mech and EE. They have their quirkiness though, the other day they were arguing for hours whether you should or should not fill the tank all the way to get better mileage!

One more thing, I love their math, their equations are so simple,

Yes, that was me. It was fun when I made somthing work when the Phd's & D.E's couldent.

We hve a sec lang too as we abbr and mis spel everytng

It is too bad that you cannot longer sport a calculating ruler on your blouse pocket,

I still have my Pickett slide rule.

I learned about slide rules in history class.

I know how to work an abacus too!

Wasnt that invented when you were a kid?
