The Engineer's Sense of Humour

The summer term is finally approaching its end. But with the end of the term comes the ever hated exams. I've had two so far, Calculus and Machine Design, which are considered to be two of the toughest. But that doesn't mean the rest are easy, Fluids is next, followed by Thermo.

Anyway, this term I have noticed more examples of the engineering sense of humour thrown in to every course. My thermo text is full of questions and cartoons that are supposed to be funny. My Machine Design professor includes all kinds of "jokes" on exams and midterms, as you can see below.

get it? General Motors... Specific Motors In this one he was attempting to make a joke, but I guess he got lazy since it was the last question on the exam.
