I thought some of my lecturers' jokes were not too bad. I'm a second year physics undergraduate.
Physics is awesome and I have access to a massive university library where I can get Carl Sagan books without paying for them. :p

Thought I was alone here!

Fantastic! I have two physics lectures and one physics lab a week. Currently focusing on Newtonian mechanics. The jokes are all still awful but he is trying to make the labs less banal for some of the year.

I took 'Daniel Dennet's - Breaking the spell' out recently. What would you recommend by Carl Sagan?

I got a degree in Aeronautical engineering (in 1989...). Do I count? My post graduate degrees are more management stuff thoguh...

Ofcourse you count LarianLeQuella!

That sounds fascinating, any advice for an engineering fresher?

why are so many engineers creationists?

I dont understand the question. Care to elaborate Clive?

Me, I'm a former engineering student (mech engg in 1995, post-grad degrees in systems engineering and management). Hope I'm welcome here.

One reason could be that engineers are designers, so they like to infer design and recognize patterns in random data. That said, I haven't actually ever met an engineer who was a creationist. (Maybe some of them like to keep it a secret?)

Here is an electronics engineer. I've been doing it all my adult life and decided to get degreed in 2006 before I took my pension from the forces in 2007. My favorite area is analog RF, but there's just no call for that sort of stuff any more. I'm a network engineer for the NATO military headquarters here in Belgium now.

As for the creationist thing, I've never heard of an engineer who is a creationist.

First year undergrad student in Bioengineering with an emphasis in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Graduated as an Architectural Engineer last year (sept. 2010, Bsc). I graduated in Building Physics (energy, mostly) and Architecture. Currently I work as an advisor on how to build energy efficient houses / buildings.

^^That's so awesome
