What's your occupation: Engineer or Non-Engineer

[Mustangfreak]

I'm not an engineer, I'm a "Fuels Craftsman" in the USAF.

Though if I were to go back to college and not do anything brew related, it'd be engineering of some sort. As much as I hate math, I'd do mechanical eng.

 

[McGreen]

I am a pastor, but my brother is an engineer.

 

[rustbucket]

Electrician here. So my hands have callouses.

are you sure its from being an electrician? lol, jk

 

[amb1935]

Electrician here. So my hands have callouses.

I wish I were trained as an electrician. As an EE, I wish I would have worked for an electrical contractor in highschool and college. People are shocked to find out I don't know everything about household wiring. Of course, they don't really know what EEs do.

[noodledancer77]

I'm a fisheries biologist, which i believe relates to engineering. I'm interested in processes and chemical/biological relationships. So many of these things are intertwined depending on your perspective. Any Southern Illinois University Grads on here?

 

[schmoe]

Chemical Engineering, still have 2.5 years until my PE. WooHoo Michigan Tech.

 

[Ernst-Haeckel]

Geologic Engineer (i.e. geologist who does mechanics and fluid dynamics)

 

[40watt]

I feel I am the antithesis of an engineer.

 

[Textunclear]

Im a train engineer that counts right? ;-)

 

[Rockape66]

16 years military(Special Ops). 1.5 years DeVry Electronic Engineering. Degree: Environmental Sciences. Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator II. Not an engineer, but not far from it.

Just like as a mechanical engineer I get asked a lot to take a look at peoples cars. I have now started to refer to myself as a projects engineer :cross:

Aparently according to Dora the Explorer that is what engineers do, drive trains. Well thats what my kids thought I did for a while!

 

[stinkydadhomebrew]

I am a Trading Operations Engineer...does that count

In my past life I was a Nuclear Engineer in the Navy, and did some Facility Engineering when I first got out.

As a Computer Engineer I fully understand!

No, I can't fix your lagging windows computer. Yes, I'm a computer engineer. What's that got to do with it?

 

[wpshadowens]

Mechanical Engineer / Robot Simulation.

 

[JFryauff]

Oh come now, surely you had enough blue screen of death time in Engineering school to be able to troubleshoot a windows box.

I chime in on this thread about a year ago as a Mechanical Engineer. Now I'm at OSU studying Fermentation Science. Diversity!

[justinakajuice]

IT nerd.

 

[mcbethenstein]

Community nutrition educator, but I'm dating a mechanical engineer/designer.

 

[Hex]

Currently unoccupied. Technically non-engineer, BA UCB Art Practice. I do have a patent, and two lathes, a cnc Bridgport 2-axis mill, tig welder, metal/composites shop...my grandpa was an engineer of sorts, B-17, B29, chief engineer Hubble Space Telescope, etc, so maybe some of it rubbed off over the years.

 

[Juilin]

I am rather unskilled when it comes to making anything other than food and drink... Economist here.

 

[richbrew99]

[Smburnette]

Both! UPS driver and I own a radio station and function as the engineer...

I went to UGA, so we are not real fond of the tech school on north ave. in the ATL. I blame them for the road problems in GA (and most other problems that I can think of).

 

[BrewForMe]

A man who drives a train is an engineer, I drive a truck so maybe i AM an engineer

 

[smokinghole]

Non engineer in the mechanical/electrical/civil sense of the occupation. I'm a biotech student so I might end up doing some bioengineering.

 

[Vongo]

Operations at a theatre ... Booking shows and hoping we make money.

 

[APietru]

I've got a degree in Materials Science and Engineering. Currently working in a product development role, so yea, I'll call myself an engineer.

[el_kirk]

Funny, a lot of engineers think like you.
I'm a chemist and work with a bunch of engineers.
I like the ones who can listen after they ask a question.
