Re: New dean
Thank goodness, some fresh blood. Maybe we can get our Engineering School back.
Bring home da Wave!

Re: New dean
I think it's interesting that a Mechanical Engineer is "a perfect fit" to be Dean, when we don't have Mechanical Engineering and have been told by millennials (who have the world figured out much better than their elders) that it's an archaic and dead major.

It's apparently so archaic, Pete, that a biomedical engineer can even teach it.PeteRasche wrote:I think it's interesting that a Mechanical Engineer is "a perfect fit" to be Dean, when we don't have Mechanical Engineering and have been told by millennials (who have the world figured out much better than their elders) that it's an archaic and dead major.
Of course it's archaic, nothing ever moves or needs to not move anymore....

Well, duct tape and WD40 have already been invented, so.....doncecco wrote:It's apparently so archaic, Pete, that a biomedical engineer can even teach it.PeteRasche wrote:I think it's interesting that a Mechanical Engineer is "a perfect fit" to be Dean, when we don't have Mechanical Engineering and have been told by millennials (who have the world figured out much better than their elders) that it's an archaic and dead major.

So true!

What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?

Re: New dean
I can personally attest that duct tape (we had green tape from the shipbuilder, Electric Boat, called “EB Green”... but it was duct tape) is good to deep ocean depths on a nuclear submarine.AO Sig wrote:So true!

Once while we were radiating on our retractable radar while surfaced, the bridge watchstander noticed that the glass lens on the radar face was delaminating. It’s not something you can glue at sea, at least not with anything we had aboard, and a clamp would have prevented it from properly retracting into the submarine’s sail, which is vital for quietness and laminar flow. So we EB Greened/ duct taped it. Now, sea pressure increases by 44psi for every 100 feet deeper you go, so at the depths we operate there was going to be a LOT of pressure on that duct tape repair. We didn’t expect to see that lens again but sure enough it was still there the next time we surfaced.
From then on, the byword was: “EB Green, good to test depth.”
