Engineers

[Ed Wright]

I think some took what I said about 1320 being an engineer wrong. I work with engineers in my business all the time. I do like to kid a couple of them about like being like Sheldon on Big Bang Therory. They aren't , but I tell them they are. Sorry if I offended anybody. I didn't mean to.

Ed "engine ears" (also called elephant ears) are what we used to bolt in the Hemi on our street race car.

Ed,
Don't be so hard on yourself!
I have been in the engineering field for 37 years and like any other profession, there are good and bad ones.
I know of engineers that don't even know how to change the oil on their cars or even how to replace a belt. Many of them come to me to ask automotive questions about their cars because they know I do my own work and race.
Many times I prefer to use engineering techs in lieu of degreed engineers because the techs are more creative and usually have more hands-on skills and experience.
By the way, there are many Sheldon's in my field and place of employment.

I worked with engineers for my entire 30+ years in the Aerospace industry and my son is a darn good one too...yep, there are some Sheldons...if you've never seen "Dilbert -the Knack" video on youtube it's worth a watch, it is uncanny.

Yep, Jim and I can share some stories from his former and my current employer...

[Jeff Lee]

But his company website lists him as "General Superintendent" and that he studied civil engineering in college. That doesn't sound like a full-blown, licensed engineer to me? But the company website probably has it wrong. Like all of us...
