At my uni, we technically have a rule banning pocket knives on campus, but because we have engineering and animal science students on campus, it's not a big deal when you see people carry pocket knives.
I think my university had similar, however almost every engineering student had one....
Animal science I get, but why do engineering students need them?
In case they encounter any architecture students.
And need them for dancing at each other?
For stripping wires, making small modifications to 3D prints, cutting tape, etc
They just think they're neat. :)
Ah, the Marge Simpson justification. Fair enough 😁
it's for threatening slow walkers who are blocking the way from the eng students' fifth to sixth lecture of the day across campus after getting out of a 2 hour shitty lab period
Engineer does need a knife.. but all other tools attached to that Swiss army knife, leatherman...etc.
Probably for cutting boxes and opening bags. You never know what you might need a knife for until you do.
