Will have completed my schooling in Industrial Electronics and PLC Automation this spring.

Not technically an Engineer...
 
Chemical Engineer Here. I work in the family business as a Lead Systems Engineer. Our specialty is Process Automation - AB PLCs and HMIs, Wonderware, Opto 22, DeltaV and a whole bunch of other stuff. We work mostly in the Food, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals and the Beer industry.

I have wild and crazy ideas of putting in a fully automated home brewing system, including a batching engine and a CIP kitchen! I am a huge Controls Dork!!!!!
 
MSEE here

I design automated production equipment and parts of it (mainly PC boards and other electronics).

There is a lot of stuff I do at work that makes it into my brewery, and vice versa...
 
Nuclear health physicist, but my formal education is a BS in molecular/cellular biology.

So no, not an engineer. :)

Bklmt2000
 
BS and MS of Mechanical Engineering here.

Bachelor degrees in engineering have accounted for between 5% and 11% of all bachelor degrees awarded since about the 50s. Plus, not all users of this forum have a bachelor degree (I assume). So yes, it seems we have a very disproportionate amount of engineers here!
 
Fastener Engineer. My job is to come up with new and better ways to screw.....drum roll please... I actually do invent new screw designs (I'm one of the people responsible for Torx and Torx Plus).
 
Print sales, enrolling in an MBA program... Feeling a bit out of place here:)

I've had plenty of discussions with people who argue the merits of brewing as an art vs. brewing as a science. Frankly, the only difference as far as I can tell is that those of us who brew as an art have a hard time recreating the same beer twice. Go figure. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing...

Truth be told, I enjoy the results either way.
 
Insurance adjuster. I inspect wrecked cars all day. I'm always labeled as the bad guy, so I enjoy a strong beer after a long day.
 
Non-Engineer.
I can't believe how many intelligent people are on this forum. Joke edited.

Orthopedic Technician
I work with a bunch of Orthopedic Surgeons and mostly cast up broken bones all day. Brewing for me, is a good release from a stressful day.

The nice thing about Torx heads is if you strip them out, they then take an Allen wrench :cross:
 
Pest control service manager. But have 90 hours of EE before coming home to run family business.
 
I;m a high scholl chemistry teacher who recently found out that I have terminal cancer. My wife wants me to try chemo, so in order to pay the bills for that I started a meth lab with one of my loser former students. But, because I don't actually do meth myself, and in order to quench my thirst while cooking meth, I also got into cooking beer. Beer is MUCH easier. I so like making my beer with a blue tinge though. That way, when I sell it to wash down the meth, everyone knows that blue beer is my creation.

Totally kidding of course. I don't have cancer.

I'm a finance guy with an economics degree. I figure cooking the economy is too hard, so now I just cook beer.

cooking meth can cause your house to explode.

I'm quite certain not even the noobiest of newbies has exploded their house cooking beer! :)

Just wait... the hobby is taking off, and there are some real idiots out there ;)
 
I'm a licensed journeyman electrician that is making a career change. I am now an emergency department tech., EMT,and a volunteer firefighter that is trying to break in to the fire service. So I had to vote non-engineer...but I do love the DIY aspect as well as the science of brewing.
