Fuck this shit man. My entrance exam (which unique to the university, no standarized SAT shit) could not be done with calculator. Everything from fraction operations to square root had to be done by had.

Anyone who got in here knows how to do calculator-less calculations.

Honestly surprised nobody got hurt, but the uni has been doing this for years, so I guess I trust them

Forgot my face

BSME here.
I've never even designed anything that used nails. I'm guessing that's for CEs?

All you need in most situations

If you can go as far as 3.14 you're stoked

But if you're so smart, surely you can use a hammer and nails?

>>7770582
I'm going to ignore the fact that hammering nails is irrelevant to engineering majors.

The average-anything is a moron.
I'm in engineering school and 90% of the people here don't know what they're doing.
Even after graduation, someone will have to train them in order to do their basic job tasks properly.

Same goes with doctors, lawyers and your mother (unironically).

People rarely do things they're not forced to.
Some of us like to learn (either abstract concepts or motor skills), but most people don't.
It's a fact and you have to deal with it.

protip: most american students aren't "so smart".
