The world would be a pretty dark and dreary place without engineers. No matter their particular specialization (and there are a lot of ‘em!), they’re the people who help keep civilization going, all while innovating to bring ideas and tech that seem straight out of sci-fi movies into our reality. ‘Engineering Memes Guy’ is a massively popular Instagram account run by ‘meme engineer,’ mechanical engineering expert, and entrepreneur Eduardo Flores.
He features some of the most hilarious and relatable memes related to engineering on the internet, and we couldn’t wait to share the best ones with you. Scroll down to check them out! Bored Panda has reached out to Flores, and we’ll update the article once we hear back from him.

Flores created his Instagram account more than a decade ago, way back in April 2013. In the 11+ years since then, the meme-focused project has grown by leaps and bounds.

The founder has drawn in a whopping 415k followers from all corners of the globe. And it’s likely that the account will flourish as long as there are all kinds of engineers browsing social media. The memes are witty, to-the-point, and incredibly relatable if you're an engineer of any kind.

In a YouTube interview with digital creator and computer science engineering specialist, Sonia Camacho, Flores shared a bit about himself. He was raised in Orange County, as well as partly in Jalisco, Mexico.

After studying mechanical engineering, he started his career in industrial automation in 2014. According to the information in the video, the ‘Engineering Memes Guy’ account gets between 3 and 5 million views per week.

Modern AI is basically just a combination of plagiarism and digital hallucination.

Emphasis on the hallucination. You wanna know if a picture is AI generated, look at the hands. They literally look like hands look if you are on a lot of LSD. I speak from experience on that.

Ann Readon ( how to cook that ) has a hilarious youtube video where she tries to make a chocolate cake from an AI produced recipe.

The gallery app on my phone is already way more advanced than this I learned here yesterday. And LLM's are fed the whole internet and arbitrary rules to then have a transformer guess the right output. It's amazing, don't slander it

Just remember, the H.AL. 9000 Computer started out as a chatbox.

Yes, but AI it's just a baby now, won't be that forever and then will get a bit scary...

Yes but you can apply the concept of exponential growth to the intelligence of AI

Aside from being a self-professed ‘meme engineer,’ Flores is a very serious entrepreneur. He founded Lumis Automation, which specializes in industrial automation integration services, in 2018, based in California. He has a second business as well, Drape Warehouse, which provides events services for special occasions.

There are certain professions where it’s unclear exactly what you do if you don’t provide more context. For example, when somebody tells you that they’re an engineer or a consultant, one of the first questions that’ll probably pop up in your mind is, “What kind?”

Besides, many people might assume different things due to their personal background and experience.

One individual might assume that someone who says they’re an engineer is directly involved in building bridges and skyscrapers. Another person might jump to the conclusion that they’re a software engineer, designing things in the digital rather than the physical world. Someone else might think that you’re talking about a structural engineer who inspects foundations and makes sure that buildings don’t topple over.

There are lots of other specializations, too, including chemical engineering and industrial engineering. (You could technically argue that everyone’s some type of engineer. For example, we could think of ourselves as digital text and image engineers with a focus on wit and education.)

Mechanical engineering—which Flores studied—mainly focuses on designing power-producing machines. For example, this includes electric generators, steam and gas turbines, and internal combustion engines. It also includes power-using machines like refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. Meanwhile, mechanical engineers also design machines inside buildings, like elevators and escalators.

Mechanical engineers design power-producing machines, such as electric generators, internal combustion engines, and steam and gas turbines, as well as power-using machines, such as refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. They design other machines inside buildings, such as elevators and escalators.

According to Indeed, mechanical engineers earn an average of $94,933 per year in the United States. Of course, the salary can be higher or lower depending on the city and company where you work, and all the other benefits you have access to can vary, too.

Meanwhile, American software engineers earn an average salary of $105,333 per year. Some software engineers who are based in San Francisco or New York City can expect to earn almost 1.5 this average rate.

The Iowa State University notes that, essentially, you can end up working on a very wide range of systems and products, from aircraft engines, transmissions, and wind turbines to prosthetic devices, printers, fuel cells, and robots.

The sky’s the limit (sometimes literally)! There’s a lot of cool stuff that you can do with this sort of background.

Do we have any Pandas with an engineering background in the audience today? What kind of engineer are you? What drew you to engineering in the first place? What projects do you work on and what would you tell anyone new to help them survive and thrive? Tell us all about it in the comments!

Meanwhile, don’t forget to upvote your fave memes, and be sure to send them to all of your engineer friends who could use a break and a good laugh.
