Altering the mind & Engineering?

[handmedown]

So i'm a noob, i've already UTSE...
long time reader, but first time poster. So here goes:

Just wondering how many (if any) Engineers grace these BL forums? I don't mean like Sound Engineers or Maintenence Engineers, I mean Blue Collar office jockeys. Ya know, like Mechanical Engineers, Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers, etc.,

I'm a Mech. Eng. myself and i'm into anything and everything that can alter the state of mind. Not necessarily into taking everything, but i have an unquenchable thirst for the knowledge of drugs.

Don't get me wrong, i love a big smoke up and a handful of benzos here and there, even the occassional disco bickie, but i'm just wondering if there's anyone else in the same boat?

Not an engineer but on the path to being a CS. I have an interest in devices that alter consciousness. The methods I know of are brainwave entrainment, biofeedback, transcranial magnetic simulation, and electric stimulation.

So, I'm half way to your request, but as for mind altering, my sense of 'order' has often kept me too afraid of experimenting in that direction. I will say that I think it would be a great combination, allowing for more 'out of the box' thinking and problem solving rather than the tried and true methods - those kinds of leaps of understanding or imagination are quite what the world needs to advance. Keep it up, I say. Keep it up.

Im graduating end of 09 with an associates in Mechanical engineering. Went to UTI for a year first and decided i wanna design engines for VW/Porsche group. Believe me ive done more than my fair share of drugs benzos, pain pill, weed, almost everything. I wouldnt wanna do my classes fucked up though it means to much to me and costs too much money to waste it ya know. Id say save the getting high for relaxing afterwards.

im in chemical engineering and i go out and party like 4 times out of the week.
you just gotta do your shit during the day, then go out.

architecture was harder... up till 3 or 4 every morning in studio and having no time for anything.

same, chem eng here, just be responsible and make sure you balance your working/playing. Engineering is a hard major regardless of what type, but as long as you keep your head down, get your shit done, and STUDY before you "relax" for the day, in whatever way you enjoy (booze, weed, speed, 'ludes, whatever you like)
