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.
