CrazyEngineers Forum

Turn The Screws!

Open your eyes, look in front, look at the back, look at any angle and you will see something that is an engineer's creation.

Engineers have been making things possible that others could only imagine. It perfectly makes sense to have a common place for engineers from around the world where they can share ideas, innovate, & help each other. Engineers are eternal, with the younger at 62 & the youngest at 17, the CEan gang consists of working professionals, students, entrepreneurs, CEOs, professors, geeks & nerds.

Default Help compose the CE Song. Suggest lyrics!

No, get that "twinkle twinkle little star" tune out of your head. The CE song is serious business!

So, whats the deal with this? The CE Song will be about something engineering. At the moment, the theme is:

the engineer, and his/her contributions to the world.

We first need lyrics from you CEans! It's up to you whether you want to write out the whole song, a stanza (a paragraph of it), or just a line. Every little bit helps Try to stick to the theme.

Get those creative juices flowing. Its also a good avenue to try out your poetry skills Be proud to be an engineer, CEans!

what's a pharoah without a pyramid,
What's a Paris without an Eiffel,
what's a civilized world,
without an engineer.

Heres an option,
Like a hot summer day without a chilled beer
When you feel miserable and have no cheer
Becomes true your worst fear
Nothing interesting all the year
My friends lend me your ear
Such will be life without an engineer

Nice one bro But, can we change beer to root beer?

I have a feeling the song title will be "Without an Engineer".

Here Ash, how about this one,
We can do much with all our tools
Oh! We all are so mighty cool
The world is our personal pool
Be it college or in school
Our inventions makes others drool
And makes them feel like a bunch of fools

Hey that will be great. MaRo, if I'm not wrong, you're in touch with Egypt's leading singer, Moustafa Amar, right?
