I take care of student teams' blogs and Newsletters.
Some are very good, some not so... but considering they are just in first year of college they seem to be more technical than education students.
I forgot to post on Blackboard the instructions to "how to create a blog" -- but I did tell them in class that each team will need to create one on blogger. The IME 106 students did not ask about the instructions when after posting my Announcement that I am waiting for their e-mail with the team's blog address. They figured it out :-)
We are now at the end of the semester and teams completed their Newsletter (each 4 teams presented their Newsletter on a project).
Here are some jokes on engineers that I really liked, and some I found myself :-)
1) To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. (this is my favorite)
2) You might be an engineer if you have no life and can prove it mathematically.
3) You might be an engineer if you consider a non-science course easy. (No wonder my courses are perceived by the Education students as being way too hard).

Five surgeons were taking a coffee break.
The first surgeon said:
"Accountants are the best to operate on because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."
The second surgeon said:
"Nah, librarians are the best. Everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
The third surgeon responded:
"Try electricians, man! Everything inside them is color coded."
Then the fourth doctor interceded:
"I prefer lawyers. They're heartless, spineless, gutless and their heads and their butts are interchangeable."
To which the fifth surgeon, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, replied:
"I like engineers. They always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end."
