Ducks are more practical beings, so I have an engineering degree.

Oh, you're not a medical doctor? :claireface:

I lied when I mentioned my physics course - I actually did Engineering (which kind? you ask - all of them! I reply*), but we shared some lectures with the physicists. Alongside lectures on the quantum structure of matter, I also had lectures on mixing concrete and designing motorway embankments (what slope is optimal to minimise snow deposits on the carriageway in a blizzard?). Dimensional analysis in Fluid Dynamics was a personal favourite of mine, alongside Mohr diagrams for graphical analysis of structure deformation.
* (click to show/hide)The main subjects were: Statics, Dynamics, Fluid mechanics, Thermodynamics, Structure, Electricity, Electronics, Properties of Materials, Control Theory, Mathematics, all with practicals, with a range of other things like drawing office work, numerical methods, digital and analogue computing, workshop practice, surveying, and the like as minor modules or extra vacation courses.

Meanwhile, I suspect that it will take much effort on Bubbles' part to dissuade Faye from 'upgrading' Robo-hand with such delights as a rotary multi-tool socket in the index finger and a mini-laser in the forefinger.

The fore finger is the same as the index finger (unless each refers to handedness). Would it be more appropriate to put the laser in the middle finger or the thumb?

Computer engineering, to be more precise =D
Zebediah:
Computer science with a minor in classical history myself, because I was told it couldn't be done. (Not that it wasn't allowed, just that there was no way I could handle a history course while majoring in computer science. My advisor was an asshole.)

The thumb is where you put the pneumatic hammer. So laser in the middle finger.
