New Channel: The Agony and the Ecstacy of Engineering
posted by oxdottir 5 months ago • 660 views
My new domain has just been activated: http://engineering.videosift.com/

It is appropriate for everything from cool gadgets to the policy repercussions of engineering. The channel is empty as I write, but I plan to go on a huge dive through old sifts and add them when I can. Please get me some good stuff!

Edit: Plenty stuff in there now (and not all added by me).

Brilliant! There's lots of stuff out there begging for an engineering tag.

I think it's too small. I need to find something easier to appreciate at that resolution.

Soooo, is engineering a bread-winning obsession, some occasional aside or fetish, or an unrealized promise??

Yesterday I couldn't spell engineer, now I are one.

That is, I am indeed an engineer, of the computer engineering variety. I am also a lover of gadgets and doo-hickies, and the ethics of engineering changes, and all that. And a while ago I had a spirited argument with Rembar who told me one of my submissions did not belong in science because it was engineering, and I said, "but there is no engineering channel!" and he said, "so make one."

So I did.

That was very kind of you schmawy!

How many types of engineering are you including. I had fraternity brothers majoring in variety of them:

aerospace, bio, chemical, civil, electrical, petroleum . . . those are the ones I remember.

All of them. My school has only the most modern branches of bio/info/nano engineering, but I'm totally behind including civil and chemical engineering as well. Engineers are my brothers and sisters.

TERRIFIC!!! Finally, a much-needed addition. Congrats on the new channel, Ox.

I don't know about your school but at my school engineers were pretentious individuals who thought all the worlds problems could be solved through the good application of advanced calculus and maybe some good application of a monkey wrench somewhere.

And they would never stop telling you this. Constantly. We build bridges and cars! No you don't teams of you do. Usually funded by the same Economists you call blood suckers.

They were also ridiculously liberal and hypocritical at the same time, they would protest Lockheed Martin vehemently one day but then enjoy the luxurious computer labs said company provided for them the next.

It was a laugh. But then it was like that with the commerce students, the arts students...

Sorry I was on the student council and your post just stirred up some fun memories. Congrats on the new channel!

I've just queued 2 engineering videos. I expect them to do well, because engineering is the greatest thing ever. Anyone who disagrees with this is ignorant and/or Farhad.

Nice channel. I'll have to review all my old videos and add the engineering tag when appropriate. I'll try to submit a cool engineering video real soon too.

It's about time the proud men and women who drive our trains got some recognition. Great channel idea.
