This is one of those cases where I don't see what I must have
done. Not seeing the forest for the trees.
BS in ME or EE or CE????

RENEWING

BS in ME or EE or CE is less than meets the eye.

BS is a Bachelor's of Science degree,
and the rest are engineering fields -
mechanical, or electrical, or chemical engineering.

OK, I figured the BS was Bach/Science but am not familiar
with engineering. I thought it was some mistake I made
when I repeated BEGINNER twice. Just Me. Must Monday be,Yoda.

Yes, but if you take out an N or the D it's even nicer.

SENDING

Star Trek: The Next Generation aired for seven seasons.
The final show was titled "All Good Things..." leaving it for the audience
to fill in the concluding "...must come to an end."
