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.

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


Hm. You've listed a bunch of reasons why the world would have been better off without EEs...

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.

We are EE student of our college that also has other Engineering students. We want to boast ourselves superior to them (other E student) .
What I am imagining is something cool, which they read, misinterpret and think its flawed and come to us to mention how bad is the Quote, then we explain what it really means and how dumb they are.
Nothing of such a serious enemy-hood just fun.

Ok... How about an anti-EE slogan?


Kill the EE's

If it weren't for them, Fox News would still be that fat old drunk guy down the street that sits on his front porch and curses incoherent obscenities at you for no reason whatsoever as you walk past his house.​

But then again, Loren's idea is a pseudo-googlewhack:

I do not understand it at all, but I like it very much. I think I'll make some T-shirts with that for me and my friends. :smile:

No wonder you didn't like any of the ideas. You neglected to mention the incredible specificity of your goal.

Electrical Engineering.

For people who aren't smart enough to do Mechanical Engineering.


:-p

A smith chart showing zero impedance at all frequencies with "Nothing can stop me" underneath.

I had to google 'smith chart' but now that I've seen it I think it would make a cool shirt, especially with Njorl's slogan. I'd like to have one myself.

Now that's a t-shirt. I'd even buy one.
