That’s the profile of a CEan! ‘CEan’ is our discovery which stands for ‘Crazy Engineers’ team member. No doubt, the great CE-Dream is coming into reality.

The seniors & the juniors, we have them all. The 700+ strong CEan team continues to build a strong network of engineers across the world. “But what do you guys do?” is a question frequently asked. Well, my imagination is limited. This special class of people (called ‘Engineers’) has been turning all the screws since ages. We are proud to say that we have ‘built’ a world. Possibilities are countless. The ultimate aim remains fixed – we’ll make the world a better place to live.

What?!!

I repeat: We’ll make the world a better place to live.

Imagine thousands of engineers from all over the world coming together to innovate, to develop best computers, beautiful buildings, fastest & safest planes, unsinkable ships, best robots. Call me crazy; I’m a CEan!

The CE-Dream will realize. It will take time. We’ll make a difference. Engineering is all about having an ‘Engineering Mindset’. If you think you have it, join us @ www.CrazyEngineers.com . We don’t expect you to have degrees.

Getting Started…

It was only one of our numerous normal days when me and my friend were down in the hostel net lab browsing the internet. Net surfing has always been a very obligatory part of our daily routine especially in college. Sitting on the adjacent systems, a new and unfamiliar page on her screen caught my attention. It seemed she was quite known to it. Being known to all her do’s and don’ts, I felt an urge to ask her about it. But I knew I had to wait till we get back to our room. Next one hour we passed surfing our own sites, which usually consist of our mail boxes and may be a few other sites too. It was then she said , “are you over with it?? Shall we move upstairs??”. And there I was, replying “ sure”.
Fifteen minutes had already passed we were in the room silently reading the newspapers or novels when suddenly I realized I was to ask my friend something. So finally I broke the silence asking her about the unknown-to-me website. After a teaspoon of descriptions, I was able to explain her the page I was talking about. To that she replied “ohh!!! You are talking about that website ???”. We had our third room mate as well present there listening to our chirps.
Now it was that very day when for the first time I came to know about crazyengineers.com. She was there telling us about completely what the site is all about. She told us about the tasks that are undertaken, the way people reply to each other, about the members and ofcourse about the administrator. She sounded pretty actively involved into the working of the forums of the website. May be it was natural for her telling us about the CE with so much excitement but it hardly made an impressive picture of it in front of the two of us. But still somewhere I felt that I should visit it atleast once.
Finally one fine day I managed to remember that I had to visit the CE. So I entered the CE portal. I got myself registered. I took 10 minutes going through various threads and features of the site. candidly I didn’t find it appealing. I had no confirmed notion of visiting it again. I wondered why my friend was so excited about it. But I always believe in giving things a second chance so one day when I wasn’t having much to surf, I made my second visit to the site. Strangely it appeared much more interesting this time and I was impressed with the quality of the forums. I don’t know why, but I was sure I was going to visit it time and again. Then there was a third visit very shortly and another and another… and within a month there was no looking back!! I was regular with CE and I was highly appealed by its technical nature.
Now there were constant discussions of CE in our room. We would discuss all our daily experiences with CE. It was then our third room mate also felt like joining it. Soon it was all three of us discussing how helpful CE has been in increasing our knowledge in various fields. And here we are me – Aashima, my friend – Neha and my third room mate – Aditi as integral parts of the CE forums!!!
