All Hail EEs! And Good Luck EE ain't easy.

[–]SureFireWaytoDie 13 points14 points ago

final year and feeling it...... FUCK YOU FOURIER!

[–]s4lt3d 8 points9 points ago

Fourier is so easy! I found that my professor didn't actually understand the material. All you're doing is describing one equation with a series of other equations. Here's some help. He's really good.

As someone in their third year I will be bookmarking this for future use.

[–]blake_n 0 points1 point ago

This series is good, too. Although the professor takes forever to get into the actual math, it doesn't get good until Lecture 2. Maybe the one you linked is slightly faster paced.

[–]Seethinrabbit 0 points1 point ago

MIT Open Courseware is pretty much awesome for almost any technical subject. Used it a lot in college.

[–]HellOfaLieY 0 points1 point ago

Saved.

[–]electricalaggie -1 points0 points ago

Commenting for future reference when Im not on my mobile.

Relevant username.

[–]jammak 1 point2 points ago

Gig'em (:

[–]diggstown 4 points5 points ago

This is not la place to be insulting Fourier.

[–]kamei 3 points4 points ago

i Hartley see the point in arguing this.

[–]phantomlordcxp 1 point2 points ago

Your wit is rather Schocking

[–]diggstown 1 point2 points ago

I Gauss you're right.

[–]btown_brony 0 points1 point ago

Three people agree here. Know what that means? If they found four more, lost their front teeth, and died, they'd be Thevenin Heaven.

I'll see myself out.

[–]Silver_Zulu 0 points1 point ago

Clever. Upvote for you.

[–]PenelopeTheSmuggler 1 point2 points ago

Oh no, you get on your knees and thank Fourier. It can be hard at times, but I always thought his stuff was fascinating and incredibly useful.

[–]Ryelzz 0 points1 point ago

should be happy, were doing fourier in second year...

[–]GrandmaTITMilk 5 points6 points ago

Just got my degree and now I'm heading into the electrical field in the Air Force!

[–]SureFireWaytoDie 0 points1 point ago

Congrats. Ima try to get in telecom. DSP is a pain in the ass tho.

[–]anXaverageXpanda 43 points44 points ago

Does anyone else get amped looking at this picture?

[–]FoxyGrampa 25 points26 points ago

hell yeah, I'm wired!

[–]kikenazz 24 points25 points ago

Oh boy a pun thread. How can I resist?

[–]theflyingfuj 12 points13 points ago

Eh, it's no difference to me.

[–]Esc4p3 14 points15 points ago

It's kinda gotten static.

[–]AdvocateForLucifer 8 points9 points ago

Don't blow a fuse over it.

[–]curt_schilli 6 points7 points ago

Then wire we continuing?

[–]Shellface 2 points3 points ago

Perhaps a short circuit?

[–]theflyingfuj 4 points5 points ago

This little series is competing with too many parallel threads.

[–]btown_brony 1 point2 points ago

Series-ly, guys. Stop it.

[–]AstralTraveller 10 points11 points ago

This thread has a lot of potential.

[–]zmansman17 5 points6 points ago

Maybe you candela me more?

[–]btown_brony 3 points4 points ago

We've got a bright one here.

[–]electricalaggie 3 points4 points ago

Its out of your capacity now.

[–]cesare980 1 point2 points ago

This thread is getting pretty good reactence.

[–]sbwdux -2 points-1 points ago

I don't have the capacity to come up with any good puns =/

[–]I_STOP_ALL_PUNS 11 points12 points ago

STOP

[–]evilpinkfreud 4 points5 points ago

You are an impedance on our good time.

[–]derpbynature 2 points3 points ago

Don't worry, we can keep the party going. It'll be a piezo cake.

[–]btown_brony 1 point2 points ago

watt r u doin?

[–]jberg93 2 points3 points ago

The important part is that you tried.

[–]theflyingfuj 0 points1 point ago

Did we short out your resistance?

[–]LeviathanChaos 0 points1 point ago

I get a jolt just thinking about it.

[–]Wafelijzer 10 points11 points ago

I am not an electrical engineering major, but I enjoy this nonetheless. thanks.

[–]1042341321 14 points15 points ago

I am not an electrical engineering major

That's why you still posses the ability to enjoy.

[–]Suzohunter1 6 points7 points ago

Can someone make this a shirt?

[–]Exclemator 1 point2 points ago

I would buy one

[–]Dickfore 5 points6 points ago

So funny it Hz

[–]puppystomper69 10 points11 points ago

Watt are we resisting?

[–]ILL_Show_Myself_Out 9 points10 points ago

The current administration?

[–]PeppermintDinosaur 7 points8 points ago

Can't we just take a volt on this issue?

[–]baflapje 4 points5 points ago

Ohm mah gawd, yall are so clever with your puns.

[–]Nerfherder32 1 point2 points ago

Something funny about a potentiometer

[–]xLite414 3 points4 points ago

I'm afraid I'll have to Charge you all for contempt of puns. I amp not joking..

[–]Nerfherder32 4 points5 points ago

God fluxing dammit, that'll take away my half-assed pun license

[–]s4lt3d 4 points5 points ago

Try to stay positive. Don't be so negative. You have capacity for potential.

[–]realhermit 6 points7 points ago

Wire you so serious? Fourier information, redditians arc all positive.

[–]hiddenbutobvious 4 points5 points ago

Man, can you imagine the wattage rating on that puppy!

[–]cliffdawg10 2 points3 points ago

electrical engineers unite!

[–]Greggor88 1 point2 points ago

Look at those sloppy solder joints.

[–]ASnakeHuntingPrey -1 points0 points ago

Slither Hisssssss Slither

[–]benzenoid 1 point2 points ago

OMEGA!!!

[–]Baal-Zaphon 1 point2 points ago

Did you just feel that? I swear something flew over my head just then...

[–]FlyingSagittarius 0 points1 point ago

It's a pun. "Ohm" is the unit of electrical resistance.

[–]Baal-Zaphon 0 points1 point ago

Not sure if I totally get it to the point it's funny but thanks for clarifying it's a pun

[–]FlyingSagittarius 0 points1 point ago

Also, if you didn't know, the giant yellow block they're looking at is a resistor.

[–]ruin 2 points3 points ago

Your resistance only makes my transformer harder.

[–]Exclemator 0 points1 point ago

You should be really proud of that joke right there

[–]StickyBunz1 2 points3 points ago

Resistance is futile.

[–]skalp69 -1 points0 points ago

I came to say this. Very precisely.

[–]thorns0014 3 points4 points ago

Haha a pun.

[–]theflyingfuj 0 points1 point ago

too punns!

[–]RedManDancing -1 points0 points ago

Was about to say this picture is a lot of pun!

[–]Menir 0 points1 point ago

Woo EEs!

[–]wawaweebo 0 points1 point ago

You clever bastard...

[–]chalklady0 0 points1 point ago

Are you asking me to switch religions?

[–]nightynightowl 0 points1 point ago

The band colors are weird.. :(

[–]Morningxafter 1 point2 points ago

I'm an electrician for the Navy. This is definitely being hung up in the shop tomorrow.

[–]ajlm 0 points1 point ago

I wonder why they chose 100k.

[–]MoreWhiskeyPls 0 points1 point ago

Though I'm no electrical enginner, having spent years working on alarm panels this made me laugh out loud.

[–]DrInfested 1 point2 points ago

As an electrician (residential/marine) I approve of this joke.

[–]ANAL_QUEEN 3 points4 points ago

Marine, does that mean you put Christmas lights on dolphins?

[–]Exclemator 0 points1 point ago

I suddenly feel really smart...

[–]whyDoIneedtThis 0 points1 point ago

Read "electoral engineering." I knew it was a thing, but not a degree.

[–]MrRedEye 1 point2 points ago

Why did Mr Ohm marry Mrs Ohm? 'cause he couldn't resist her.

[–]HonziPonzi 0 points1 point ago

what school?

[–]Pirosami 1 point2 points ago

As a color blind person, trying to figure out resistance by the bands has always sucked. /rant

[–]YaSu288 1 point2 points ago

Everyone on Reddit is an engineer right? Right?

[–]TheSkiFreeYeti 5 points6 points ago

Either engineering or science majors mostly. All of the arts majors are in gonewild.

[–]TheLastManitee 0 points1 point ago

I dont get it...

[–]WhiteKidFromLi 0 points1 point ago

Upvote from a fellow EE major. best of luck from stony brook

[–]Sir_Llama 0 points1 point ago

How do you find an engineering student on reddit? Oh don't worry, they'll tell you.

[–]theflyingfuj 0 points1 point ago

What's the potential difference V12? / You look at all nodes, but you don't know what you're supposed to do. / I act on KCL and never deal with electromotives. / I'm used to findin' Thevenins and straight Nortons.

[–]theflyingfuj 0 points1 point ago

What's the difference between us? We could start with impedance, or we could both scream "I can solve this circuit!" and see who means it.

[–]mosher89 0 points1 point ago

How do you find an engineering major on reddit?

[–]SalmonTheFish 0 points1 point ago

I missed my cakeday completely. The vents are unspeakable.

[–]Unshkblefaith 1 point2 points ago

EE solidarity! Any PSU EE's in here?

[–]quintuple_mi 0 points1 point ago

Thought it was a giant fap sock and that I missed the fap joke, was pleasantly surprised by an intelligent joke.

[–]python_of_love 0 points1 point ago

I'm impressed, but that appears to actually be a 1 Ohm resistor

[–]Corn89 0 points1 point ago

Those cold solder joints are going to have problems...

[–]RonBurgundy35 0 points1 point ago

Do you enjoy your major? I'm think engineering would be a good major for me, but I don't know what exactly would be the best engineering major for me. thanks in advance...

[–]rogerthelodger -1 points0 points ago

Bad boys raped our young girls, but Violet gave willingly.

[–]joe9439 0 points1 point ago

Is that 10K?

[–]SlipFlipOuch 0 points1 point ago

I believe it's 100k

[–]featherybigfoot 0 points1 point ago

no that a 10k +-5% 100k would be a green band

[–]SlipFlipOuch 1 point2 points ago

The bands in the cartoon are brown, black, and yellow brown = 1; black = 0; yellow = 104 so that's 10 x 104 which is 100k

You can also just type 100k resistor into google and get a picture of it.

[–]featherybigfoot 0 points1 point ago

ya your right my brain went dumb for a bit

[–]CallMeAnEngineer 0 points1 point ago

[–]DishwasherTwig 0 points1 point ago

That's one huge resistor for only being 10k +/- 5%

[–]joebreezy 0 points1 point ago

have you ever had sex op?

[–]Liquid8 0 points1 point ago

dear god i've never wished to be able to upvote multiple times more than now. so true.

[–]DarkSyrinx 0 points1 point ago

Happy cake day! One of my EE professors had this comic posted outside his office. Best of luck with school!

[–]_LeMonkeyFace_ 0 points1 point ago

No one cares.

[–]SureFireWaytoDie 5 points6 points ago

lemme guess, Business major?

[–]_LeMonkeyFace_ 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, at Wharton.

[–]electricalaggie 2 points3 points ago

limit as gpr approaches zero of engineering is business.

[–]SureFireWaytoDie 1 point2 points ago

Aye

[–]kielbasaj -1 points0 points ago

Fuck your cake day, and your picture isn't current at all, in fact it's lacking so much current raisins.

[–]JohnnyBear21 1 point2 points ago

i dont get it

[–]Megabert 6 points7 points ago

The large object on the altar is a resistor, which slows down electric current. The amount of current they resist is measured in ohms.

[–]theflyingfuj 1 point2 points ago

1.0*105% Ohm with a +/- tolerance of 4? Wat?

[–]electricalaggie 0 points1 point ago

Watt

  3. To trip a circuit breaker, you must stick out your foot as it walks by. T F

  4. When dealing with conduit, the O.D. must exceed the I.D. or the hole will be on the outside. T F

  5. A keyless fixture cannot be unlocked. T F

  6. A circuit breaker reads "20" on the handle. This means it can trip 20 times before it is worn out. T F

  7. If you plug something 110 volts into a 120 volt outlet, you will have 10 volts leakage. T F

  8. When hooking up a 220 volt device, you must use 220 volt wire. T F

  9. The gauge number of a wire is the number of plugs the wire can handle. T F

  10. A flush mount device may only be hooked up to a toilet. T F

  11. An ohm is a Hindu measurement of voltage. T F

  12. Electrical Inspectors are also know as: _____________________

  13. Service Entrance Conductors direct from the supply house with current already in them are very dangerous. T F

  14. High voltage wire is used on upper levels of tall buildings whereas low voltage wire is usually found in the basement or underground. T F

  15. If you have a molded-case circuit breaker, the mold can be washed off with warm soapy water. T F
