My best friend in school graduated as an M.E. I was the guy everyone came to for computer and audio stuff and he was the guy everyone came to for hot-rod car stuff. I was always fascinated with mechanical engineering problems but glad I had an M.E. hotshot for a good friend.The mind of an M.E. and the mind of an E.E. are definitely compatible enough to communicate the same language but there's also a difference in our worlds. So all that to say I'm just as impressed with the statics and strengths as you are with reactive phasors.
