An engineering professor figures out how to balance committee time with research time.

Make sure you know the rules of engagement when playing sports with engineers!

A cartoon I made based on the old engineering joke about the enchanted frog trying to entice the engineer to kiss her.

The definition of Spring Break according to an engineering student…

I made this cartoon based on an old engineer joke: What happens when a lost balloonist asks an engineer where he is?

I made this cartoon based on the old joke about the mathematician, the physicist and the engineer determining the volume of a soccer ball.

I was playing with the cartoon creator, ToonDoo, again today and came up with this.  An engineer and a project manager get one wish in “The Office Genie.”

ONE PLUS ONE? AN ENGINEERING CARTOON

I had way too much fun today playing at cartoon-making and avoiding writing. Back to the writing tomorrow, but I thought I’d share a cartoon I made, inspired by the following engineer joke: 

How to Determine the Height of a Building

A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer are each given $50 to measure the height of a building. 

The mathematician buys a ruler and a sextant, and by determining the angle subtended by the building a certain distance away from the base, he establishes the height of the building. 

The physicist buys a heavy ball and a stopwatch, climbs to the top of the building and drops the ball. By measuring the time it takes to hit the bottom, he establishes the height of the building. 

The engineer puts $40 into his pocket. By slipping the doorman the other ten and asking the building’s height, he establishes the height of the building. 

I love engineer jokes and cartoons, so I was playing around with the cartoon creator, ToonDoo, and made this cartoon. I love the many ways engineers can answer, “Is the glass half empty or half full?”
