Engineering an applied science?

[Keevan_Colton]

It's under the auspices of "Creative Industries" which is Music, PR and Communications, Screenwriting and Film, Journalism and Engineering...

This is just since the last reshuffle of the university.

Admittedly, our Engineering School teaches "Property Management & Investment" along with "Sports Technology"

What the hell school is this?

I guess they consider anything that requires "creativity" to be art? You come up with something new, something original, its automatically an art? By that, all scientific research is art.

What a fucking disgrace.

Did some hard core Liberal Arts invade your Engineering School administration!?!

[Bounty]

In fact, I'm not sure I've ever heard of an architecture program being lumped in with the schools of engineering. It's usually it's own department, with sometimes construction management or graphic/consumer design (depending on the university) lumped in together with it.

Not here. We have three 'science' faculties: general sciences (chemistry, biology, physics etc); engineering sciences (material sciences, architecture, construction, mining, nanotechnology) and biosciences (genetics, molecular biology, agriculture).

However, I'm not sure my university is a good measure because it's very much oriented towards history and languages as opposed to science.

I just checked, we also offer a BSc in Reflexology.

Almost sounds like they took over the science department so they could upgrade their other courses to Bsc which sounds beter for said course then the normal title.

What is an aggie?

Yes, an aggie is an agricultural student. The University of Alberta has a Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, and to be inclusive, the gears considered any of them to be aggies. And for good measure, so were students in the Department of Agricultural Engineering even though they were technically within the Faculty of Engineering.

Ahh, the memories I have regarding inter-faculty rivalries at the U of A.

What a fucking disgrace.

I could muster some respect if the topics were Engineering Economics and Biomechanical Engineering, but somehow the course discriptions sound like they aren't these. Hopefully, they fill the requirements for humanities electives, but. . .

...and your school is accredited?

My University offered an "Industrial Engineering" degree which was usually mocked as "Imaginary Engineering" and that was about the end of that.

A Lot of schools offer that.. course... Which is the butt jokes of many (real) engineering students, much less the Science fellas.

It's probably offered just like some of the business school courses which are offered for the sake of generating cash.

Hey, go fuck yourself!

Since I can get a PE in Industrial Engineering, you can shut the fuck up.

Tell your buddy that this is a self-contradictory statement. I have yet to see ANY art that uses math and science.

Er...what? Certainly at least material science and basic geometry (like the "Golden Ratio") are relevant to most types of art.

Yep.

Napier University, Edinburgh.

Feel free to have a poke about their website and have a laugh.

That's like saying that you use science whenever you drive your car, because science is involved in the design of cars. There's only so much disconnection between the activity and the actual practice of science that one can allow while still pretending that something involves science.

Like how floral arrangers like odd numbers of flowers in the bouquet? That has nothing to do with actual math. That just happens to "look nice"

[Andrew J.]

You're right, of course. I concede.

Damn my excessive literalism!
