any other engineering students/engineers here?

hellraisedfire

I'm a mechanical engineering student with focus in biology/biomechanics whole lot of time spend studying meaning not a lot of time to find quick/healthy foods! feel free to add me

or any bio students, or any science students, or anyone really?? just looking for friends, not trying to be selective :P

I know what you mean! Software engineer here.... not much time to be active stuck in front of a monitor all day....

Amen to that. I'm a Senior Software Engineer and it's tough.

What I've been doing is just getting up and walking a lap or two around the floor whenever something stressful comes up.... that or going outside for a walk. It's definitely helped from both a physical and mental standpoint.

yes! i am a junior civil engineering student, want to get into geotechnical after graduation (possibly with my internship this summer too if i get it)

i find the hardest thing is getting enough sleep.....

Bioengineering student here..

I'm just glad that I only have one semester left (it has been a tough road!).

I try to think of going to the gym as a fun experience where I can release all my stress and give my brain a break from thinking so much all the time (deadlines, tests, quizzes, relationships, etc). I find it helpful to get my exercise early in the morning and for the days where I can't or don't find time for the gym, I try to at least get some jumping jacks, pushups, and situps done. All while using myfitnesspal to stay close to my calorie goal.

Last semester of biomedical engineeing B.S. Than *possibly* grad school or just start working

Software engineer here

bsalis76

Another software engineer here.

However, lets be honest, calling ourselves engineers is a bit like economists calling themselves scientists.

Hi,
Yep, another software engineer here who finally acknowledged the engineering behind body...:laugh:
Damn last 10 years of sitting in front of monitors :explode:

BerryH

Not an engineer myself but I'm a science and technology journalist and spent most of my career with a well-known engineering magazine

sandrakarinab

Electrical engineer here.
Don't know that I struggle more with eating than any other profession. Can survive on coffee if I have to at work. Problems start when I stop work....and I start with the wine, while i cook a healthy dinner, then move on to the non-stop snacking with more wine until bedtime. :-(

chunkiedunker

mechanical engineer here. Spent my life since 1998 in front of a computer for the most part. I love my job, hate my weight. So I'm fixing that problem.

oh man I know what you mean. I can't ever seem to have just one beer/one glass of wine. it's a total killer!!

I have a degree in Biology, but now I work in an engineering field. We may have a lot in common!

I'm a geotechnical engineer and also going for a Master's in geotechnical engineering.

I'm an aerospace/mechanical engineer! Whooot go enginerds! I do structure design for commercial satellites. I definitely gained weight in college from the crazy coursework I had... and of course you have to party hard on the weekends to balance it out. I graduated 2 years ago last month and I've completely turned around my habits. Having a desk job would not have made things any better after college if I didn't start working out and eating right.

Tandi_S

Mechanical/Project Engineer here. Feel free to add me!

I've had to work in some exercise over my lunch break. Convenience foods are definitely always a temptation with work and 2 little ones.

I have a degree in Chemical Engineering but doing Petroleum Engineering work now.

taso42

Software dude here. The good news is that geeks/nerds make very good students and practitioners of healthy and fitness :drinker:

jlemoore

I am a PROFESSIONAL engineer. (pretty impreseive, eh? yeah not really.)

Enviromental Engineer at a plastics company.

Sweet_Potato

My background is electrical engineering and I do ship design for a living. I'm also getting my MSEE (just one more semester to go!) with a specialization in controls.

I have a degree in Chemical Engineering but doing Petroleum Engineering work now.

That sounds like fun.

It is very fun and a great field to be in now. Business trips aren't near as exciting though when they are to an oil rig in the middle of nowhere.

Brittany39down

Civil Engineer here!!! Just got my license last month... Studying for the PE exam from May-Oct definately contributed to my wait gain- lack of exercise and bad eating habits. I'm about to start my last semester in graduate school. I soooo know your pain!

rebeccap13

Civil/geotechnical engineer, graduated in May. Now I'm a tunnel rat... but I love underground construction.

OLFATUG

Software engineer turned Systems Engineer turned IT Director. Nothing like sitting on yer *kitten* all day... Thank goodness I can get my exercise in early.

Thinking of going back to school for another field though, maybe dental or nursing:)
