On one of the political blogs I comment on someone made a disparaging comment about engineers and me personally. I am by training a physicist, worked many years as an engineer in multiple disciplines, and retired with 3,000 engineers and technicians working for me. Although I used to joke with engineers that the dumbest physicist was smarter than the smartest engineer they had me in one way every time. Unless you are naked in the middle of the forest or engaging in the best part of procreation, every time you open your eyes whatever you see was designed, tested or manufactured by an engineer. From your cell phone, to your car, from the picture frame in your room, to the bridge you drive over or the tunnel you drive under. From the pepsi bottle to the vacuum to the machine that made your bed post thank an engineer. Kiss one today !

Well thanks for your efforts Detroit, but most of the engineers that I work with in aerospace are some of the most socially retarded people that I have to deal with. Yes, smarter than I could dream to be but goddam dudes can't hold a conversation for 5 fucking minutes and probably could not change a tire if they had to.

Notsofast....I've worked in the food processes and packaging field for 35 years.
God knows you are correct. Only about 10% could hold a conversation over lunch.

I've got crazy respect for engineers but every one of them I've known - and it's quite a few - have varying degrees of Asperger's.

How can you identify an extroverted engineer?

They look at the other persons shoes when they talk.

the ones that are social and can interact are called sales engineers...same with accountants...those are typically the managing partners bringing in the business.

the ones that can't are called worker bees...typically pain in the ass to work with...do it yourselfers

Any advice for a student majoring in EE? Also physics was my previous major. If I could exist in two places at once I would definitely major in physics but sadly I can't so lol
