I love the scale model bridge competitions some school districts hold. It's an excellent way of teaching some basic fundamentals of physics, namely force vectors. Another fun exercise is the egg drop competition.
Rope Bridges are useful critters, aren't they.

Please spay/neuter your pets. Also, defang your copperheads.8 'O' Grades; 3 Higher Grades; level 2 qualifications in City and Guilds and RSA for IT and Business Administration; trade qualifications in Telecommunications from the Territorial Army and the ECDL. Pretty crap really. I read a lot. I prefer history to current affairs, as most commentators of those a lot of the time have no clue of what they are talking about. Yet seem to get paid huge amounts of money for their views if they are called Glenn Beck, Rupert Murdoch and Yasmin Alibhai Brown. I had to learn about weapons and stuff as well in the T.A. and Regular Army so new advances in that field are really of interest to me.
I must admit a lot of the stuff on this forum doesn't just go over my head, it achieves stable orbit, but I am trying to learn.
Edit,
you may need logicians but you will be able to do the square root of sod all without logisticians (if that isn't a word it damned well should be) to provide the kit and tools you need to do stuff. Amateurs talk about strategy and tactics. Professionals talk about logistics.

I like engineers
Every morning on the way to class I cross the Harbour by going across world's widest long-span bridge[1]
and I can't help be impressed at it.
You really have to admire the achievements and ambition of engineers at being able to build something big enough to allow their own heads to pass through

hashtagsarestupidI'm an Electrical Engineering sophomore. Will probably get my BSc some time in 2014.

An old engineering school joke: you can't be a geek without an EE.
Oscar, we'll set us up a nice business. I'll keep building weapons and you keep building targets, sound good?
Fight smart, not fair.I have a lot of respect for social scientists. It's a hellishly difficult field — far more so than "hard" sciences, in my opinion — and one which has a lot of far-reaching practical consequences...

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.One of my life ambitions is to go and teach non-standard logics in some hippie-ish college such as the Evergreen State College or similar.
I'd get hippies stoned on abstract mathematics. Who needs LSD when you have multivalued logic?
Oh yes.
I enjoyed reading through this.
Doing a computer science and linguistics double major, with Arabic. I'm also doing a math minor and taking some random history courses (like the Egyptian Art & Archeology class I have this semester
). I guess this puts me on both sides of the hard v. soft science debate?

I've been through some specialty training, academies and apprenticeships. I'll gladly do more as my formal education comes to an end.
"Psssh. Even if you could catch a miracle on a picture any person would probably delete it to make space for more porn." - AszurUndergraduate; political science branching out towards international relations. Extensive amateur study on military topics, with specializations like the Falklands War and naval warfare in general. Additional other areas of study on an opportunistic basis (huzzah for Quiz Bowl!).

I also have a lot of knowledge of theological topics in general relating to the major religions of the world though nothing learned from an educational institution.
The emotions of others can seem like such well guarded mysteries, people 8egin to 8elieve that's how their own emotions should 8e treated.
