We are, we are, we are the engineers,
We can, we can, we can [fill in blank here]
We like math, and programming too.
Our graphs are not bad, but our values ring true!
It is said that we’re drunks,
And that we party alot too.
But alcohol just dulls the pain of all the projects we have due!
We worship the tool,
We can be a pretty odd lot,
Building things that are cool,
It has us besot.
Bio/ native habitat/ lifestyle: Sleep, school, study, eat, memes. Repeat. Socially awkward we are not; look at everyone else around us! Study hard and play hard, what more could you ask for? We worship the Tool, the rigid wrench touch we will not until the iron ring our pinkie adorns. The ratio males to females is steep, for every one girl there are almost 5 guys. We all show our strong engineering pride. We think we are cool; who knows if we are. The one thing that’s true is we aren’t Richard Picard. Bill Nye and Mr. Bean we count as our own, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to take pictures with my phone!
How we interact; Engineers can do anything! Or maybe we can’t, read English literature? What craziness is this? We thing all is good, everything is swell, but then we crack under stress and run yelling for help. We are nothing without all the other faculties so near. Who will help us with feelings, or manage our careers?
Common areas of interest; we like things that are new, and crazy and neat. So build me a robot which can do party tricks, we’ll play on our laptops and praise others’ tricks. Build a new engine or fix a up a bike. We are engineers, this is what we do for kicks!
Verdict: Engineers are pretty awesome, but then so are you! Yay Waterloo!
