Sociologists: Studying engineering turns you into a terrorist | The Register
by Shannon at 11:34 am EST, Jan 31, 2008 |
A pair of sociologists have produced a piece of research in which they claim that graduate engineers are statistically over-represented among jihadi terrorists. They go on to suggest that engineers have a "terrorist mindset" making them likelier to turn jihadi than other kinds of people.
Are there any engineers on Memestreams? |

Um.. I think a majority of the site qualifies. I'd argue that infosec is a type of engineering. Think of how often hackers are equated with terrorists... |
