The world would be a pretty dark and dreary place without engineers. No matter their particular specialization (and there are a lot of ‘em!), they’re the people who help keep civilization going, all while innovating to bring ideas and tech that seem straight out of sci-fi movies into our reality. ‘Engineering Memes Guy’ is a massively popular Instagram account run by ‘meme engineer,’ mechanical engineering expert, and entrepreneur Eduardo Flores.
He features some of the most hilarious and relatable memes related to engineering on the internet, and we couldn’t wait to share the best ones with you. Scroll down to check them out! Bored Panda has reached out to Flores, and we’ll update the article once we hear back from him.

Flores created his Instagram account more than a decade ago, way back in April 2013. In the 11+ years since then, the meme-focused project has grown by leaps and bounds.
The founder has drawn in a whopping 415k followers from all corners of the globe. And it’s likely that the account will flourish as long as there are all kinds of engineers browsing social media. The memes are witty, to-the-point, and incredibly relatable if you're an engineer of any kind.

Exactly! AI chatbots are just search engines that make the data more understandable!
In a YouTube interview with digital creator and computer science engineering specialist, Sonia Camacho, Flores shared a bit about himself. He was raised in Orange County, as well as partly in Jalisco, Mexico.
After studying mechanical engineering, he started his career in industrial automation in 2014. According to the information in the video, the ‘Engineering Memes Guy’ account gets between 3 and 5 million views per week.

Logics major: the glass is half empty if you are drinking it. It is half full if you are filling it.
Aside from being a self-professed ‘meme engineer,’ Flores is a very serious entrepreneur. He founded Lumis Automation, which specializes in industrial automation integration services, in 2018, based in California. He has a second business as well, Drape Warehouse, which provides events services for special occasions.

Honestly, fully grasping quantum physics after only 584 hours of study sounds pretty good to me.
There are certain professions where it’s unclear exactly what you do if you don’t provide more context. For example, when somebody tells you that they’re an engineer or a consultant, one of the first questions that’ll probably pop up in your mind is, “What kind?”
Besides, many people might assume different things due to their personal background and experience.

You'd be surprised how many environmental engineers, and scientists do this too.
One individual might assume that someone who says they’re an engineer is directly involved in building bridges and skyscrapers. Another person might jump to the conclusion that they’re a software engineer, designing things in the digital rather than the physical world. Someone else might think that you’re talking about a structural engineer who inspects foundations and makes sure that buildings don’t topple over.
There are lots of other specializations, too, including chemical engineering and industrial engineering. (You could technically argue that everyone’s some type of engineer. For example, we could think of ourselves as digital text and image engineers with a focus on wit and education.)

Their AutoCAD was papyrus/wax tablet, a pen and a well educated slave. All of this could have malfunctioned, too. And without very precise calculus the water and sewage would not have reached the desired destination. Calculus is way older than the jokers are comfortable with. Without calculus they would live a pretty basic life.

After independently attempting this, I say OP must have a massive fist, cuz I'm 3cm smaller in the first three measurements.
Mechanical engineering—which Flores studied—mainly focuses on designing power-producing machines. For example, this includes electric generators, steam and gas turbines, and internal combustion engines. It also includes power-using machines like refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. Meanwhile, mechanical engineers also design machines inside buildings, like elevators and escalators.

According to Indeed, mechanical engineers earn an average of $94,933 per year in the United States. Of course, the salary can be higher or lower depending on the city and company where you work, and all the other benefits you have access to can vary, too.
Meanwhile, American software engineers earn an average salary of $105,333 per year. Some software engineers who are based in San Francisco or New York City can expect to earn almost 1.5 this average rate.

Just be a kid. Buy yourself ice creams, legos, videogames. That's what I do. You can even buy yourself a sports car!
The Iowa State University notes that, essentially, you can end up working on a very wide range of systems and products, from aircraft engines, transmissions, and wind turbines to prosthetic devices, printers, fuel cells, and robots.
The sky’s the limit (sometimes literally)! There’s a lot of cool stuff that you can do with this sort of background.

And neither if you're running windows. Use Linux, install Wine and/or Proton, and you're good to go.
Do we have any Pandas with an engineering background in the audience today? What kind of engineer are you? What drew you to engineering in the first place? What projects do you work on and what would you tell anyone new to help them survive and thrive? Tell us all about it in the comments!
Meanwhile, don’t forget to upvote your fave memes, and be sure to send them to all of your engineer friends who could use a break and a good laugh.

No physical component or system can be made with absolute precision. Designing real-world devices requires calculating ranges of tolerance, which is effectively a set of approximations. A good example is digitally recorded music - it's not perfect, but it does the job.

I have to disagree here. Engineers do not know everything and often do have to refer to online sources, books, colleagues etc, for confirmation. But not knowing basic math is pushing it way too far.
Both medieval and modern memes have a unique way of bridging history and humor.
While exploring medieval connections, you might also be intrigued by how memes reflect the past, as seen in their historical insights that humorously link times gone by with present-day issues.

The second one probably looks complex for people who have never seen a phase diagram before, but once you understand how it works, the second one is just as easy to read as the first one.

Reminds me of a company I worked maintenance for. A team of engineers from the parent company came in to build a furnace. After 3 weeks they left and we maintenance engineers were left with a non-functioning furnace and to deal with the management questions over how long it will take.

I used to use fluid dynamics all the time in the beer and wine industry. Moving large volumes of liquid without cavitation can be tricky. Cavitation is bad because it can strip out the aromatics.

Many of these were revealingly accurate. Revealing the true internal structure of the minds of those who naturally dwell within the realms of engineering.

I spent twenty five years working with engineers. They were no more important than the manual laborers on the shop floor and not as bright as you may think.

Back in the dark ages I was in a hard arts programme at university. Crushing workload. The Engineers were rude crude sexist etc. Today 50+ years later I understand the rude, crude bit. Because their workload was even worse. The “sexist” stuff took care of itself as more women entered the profession. Go “Skool” go. University of Toronto.
