Animal science I get, but why do engineering students need them?

[–] Coffeephilic@lemmy.cafe 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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
