When it comes to social behaviour, i’ts a weel-known fact that engineers can tend to be a little, well, special at times…’Enginnering-jokes’, the kind that use terms and jargon specific to our field admittedly can become quite corny.
So at dinner last night, one of my engineer-friends (who just got a job-offer McKinsey!! Well done EM!) was telling us a story about a friend of his who could best be described as ‘the real life Sheldon’ (Big Bang Theory).
EM: Hows it going RLS? What did you get up to last night? (RLS = Real-Life Sheldon)
RLS: I’m good EM, well I really had a craving for chai tea.
EM: Yes, chai tea is nice!
RLS: But I don’t like the brand I usually buy, so at Pick n’ Pay yesterday, I went out and got a whole lot of spices…and made it from FIRST PRINCIPLES! *starts cracking up*
EM: *Shakes head and walks away*
Definition First Princliples: to derive a formula to work out something complicated by using basic, fundamental equations from maths and science.
Ah, Engineers! You gotta love ’em!
