TV Series for Engineers
Besides books, calculators, bulk-loads of scrap paper and our trusty calculators, we engineers need to take a break from time to time, and what do most of us do on our free time? That’s right… watching TV series. Some may watch less while some watch more, and if your part of the latter, you might have watched most of the TV series on this list.
If you haven’t, I suggest you put down your calculators, chill and give these a try!
