Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around brainstorming creative and humorous slogans for T-shirts aimed at Electrical Engineering students. Participants share various ideas, ranging from puns and technical references to playful jabs at the field itself.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants suggest slogans like "I play with imaginary numbers" and "EE is a shocking profession."
  • Others propose humorous takes such as "If it ain't broke, fix it anyway" and "Electrical Engineers: Why so negative all the time?"
  • A few participants express dissatisfaction with the suggestions, noting they are either too technical or too simplistic.
  • There are multiple references to the challenges of appealing to both fellow engineers and the general public, with some wanting to create slogans that provoke thought or misinterpretation.
  • One participant humorously suggests an anti-EE slogan, "Kill the EE's," while another proposes a more lighthearted approach with "Apply defibrillator to ears."
  • Technical references include ideas like a smith chart with the phrase "Nothing can stop me," which some find appealing.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a variety of opinions on the effectiveness and appeal of the suggested slogans. There is no consensus on a single slogan, and some participants actively reject others' ideas while struggling to find a universally liked suggestion.

Contextual Notes

Some participants highlight the need for clarity on the target audience for the T-shirt slogans, whether they should be aimed at other engineering students or the general public. This specificity appears to influence the reception of the suggestions.

Who May Find This Useful

Electrical Engineering students, T-shirt designers, and individuals interested in engineering humor may find this discussion relevant.

We are designing a T-shirt for Electrical Engineering Students.
Please suggest a cool slogan for it.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I play with imaginary numbers.
 
EE is a shocking profession.
 
More please! :)
 
Electrical
Engineer
I make your toys.
 
Electrical Engineering: Why are all the wires red?

Electrical Engineering: Where cutting the red wire is ok. Except when the breaker isn't flipped.

Electrical? Engineering? Nothing could possibly go wrong!
 
If it ain't broke, fix it anyway.
 
How do you know the Engineer you're talking to is an extrovert?

When he talks, he stares at your shoes.

I swear someone's sig here on PF is "If it ain't broke, fix it until it is."

EEs have the power

EEs will rule the world
Resistance is expected

EEs cannot be resisted

Don't worry about the smoke and fire
I'm an Electrical Engineer

EEs make great musicians
and super conductors

I guess this might be good:
"It's called j not i"

If it ain't broke, fix it anyway.
If it ain't broke, break it.

I'm an EE
Half of what I do is imaginary

99%?

Personally, I noticed I spend bit too much time with imaginary things and do Re{} only as a last step

Not 99% imaginary, complex.

I saw that coming as soon I finished my response, yes you are right.

I love that shirt.
If those equations mean what I think they mean.

I am really sorry and also not altogether sure if its polite to mention that none of my friends liked none of the suggestion posted here. They found it too technical or too easy.
And also in our group, everybody is rejecting everybody's suggestion but nobody is coming up with something anybody would like. Kind of funny!

Fight the Power! Ohms means Resistance!

There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, those who don't, and those who didn't expect this joke to be ternary.

We have the same problem with the National Electrical Code.

As we all know, if you ever want to finish a project you have to kill the engineer.

How about:

This will be a cool shirt but electrical engineers are still working on the slogan.

Resistance is futile.

(slogan inside a resistor diagram similar to this one)

Wait a minute! Did anyone else see the banner ad for Cafe Press?

They've already done the work for you! They have several designs.

It would help if you would decide who the shirt is supposed to speak to. Is it supposed to be aimed at other EE's, at the general public, or other?

Also, you need to decide if it is supposed to poke fun at EE's or be positive.

The replies to this thread are so shocking i will have to resist in replying in a timely manner.

b.ee vs a.ee

communication
smoke signals --> telephone

information
books --> internet

mobility
Edsel --> Tesla

and your Smartphone?

Yah, we're bigger than the Beatles.

;)

b.ee = before EE's
a.ee = in the years following the birth of our EE's

for those who were not born EE's
