Where I work we have many, many, many folks with letters after their name which wouldn't know one end of a combination spanner from a plasma cutter and their design ability it roughly that of a brick, not worht a wank!!!! What is important for an engineer is knowledge, judgment, experience and most importantly feel........ must say i agree with Roger, I work in RF electronic's and i get completly F**ked off with design engineers that are paid over twice what i am, designing something, building one, then assuming the next upteen thousand will all work exactly the same as their "gold sample" the upshot being i have to change the design, respec components, and basicly finish their half arsed attempt. My life would be 100% easier if it wasn't for their TOTAL lack of common sense and foresight, and their total bastard disbelief that things occur in the real world that cant be "simulated or calculated" Edited by Joe C on 28th Feb, 2007.

I wrote a big long reply to this but I decided to delete it and replace it with the following: If you do not consider yourself in a position to sign off technical design certificates then your not an Engineer. Edit: despite working in aerospace engineering & being involved in engineering design reviews, I don't consider myself to be an Engineer, as at the end of the day I am not the one signing of the equipment. I have to agree wholly with you on that one. I am just finishing my final year of college to enter the aircraft industry and hopefully obtaining my B2 license in a couple of years. At that point I will be signing off jobs done as airworthy- if anything goes wrong, I and only I am to blame for that fault. To me an engineer is someone who takes full responsibility for the job done, and performs jobs of some magnitude. Ergo- aircraft mechanic, car mechanic etc. all perform jobs where a failure to work to standards can result in the loss of life. A plumber failing to live up to standards tends not to be life threatening! On a side note, it's nice to see another Bristolian. Bit of a coincidence with the aircraft thing tho! There is no sense crying over every mistake- you just keep on trying til you run out of cake. |

The $2.5million piece I got called out of bed for at 5am this morning doesn't have an OFF switch, The turds were sure their firmware would be Soooooooo good that you cant turn it off if the computer or firmware locks. Do you know how many times over the last 20 years I have been able to go back to sleep after telling them to turn the damn thing off and see if it works??

You will not get everyone to agree on this.

Lots of good points of view here!!! I consider myself as more of the slave at work. Although on the subject of responsibility for signing jobs off on very expensive race cars. I have spent the last four years working on my ND and HND in mech. engineering. Would have gone onto a degree but i couldn't afford it!! IMECHE accreditation would be good one day as my local group hold some very interesting talks. |

Yes and No In the states I heard you have to pass an exam before you can call yourself an engineer (like passing the bar exam in law), other wise your just a project specilist? To be called an 'Engineer', not that I am aware of. But you do need to take a test to be a member of the National Society of Professional Engineers and be titled a 'Professional Engineer'. Around here, they call the trash men (the guys who empty our rubbish bins and drive the stinky trucks around) Sanitation Engineers. Now that is a watering down of the title of Engineer! 61 Austin Seven; building a 1275 'over the clutch' turbo, R5 T2'd, custom intercooled, megajolt electrified, canyon carver
