What's your occupation: Engineer or Non-Engineer

[Dogzbone]

I'm not an engineer but I work in the engineering department under the direct supervision of engineers.

[Eichelbergerbrew]

I am a student....a Nutrition and Dietetics student...WHO LOVES TO DRINK BEER

Beer is good for you....it uses whole grain right??

 

[solavirtus]

Infectious disease laboratory scientist here ... it's all about the yeast. Only 1 of the 5 other homebrewers I hang with are engineers.

 

[BrewerinBR]

I have this feeling that a large percentage of homebrewers are engineers. I was just wondering how large.

'92 BSME from Mich Tech U.

Does Software Engineering count?... well used to be, now I am a diaper...

You know why are bosses like diapers?

[lschiavo]

Never caught this thread in the last two years somehow.

BSEE, MTU 95. I'm an electrical contractor. Never held an engineering position.

BSEE - GMI Engineering & Mgmt Institute (now Kettering)
Flint, MI - Class of '93

 

[brock_gonad]

My "brewing collective" includes a PhD in math, an architect, a marine biologist, and me (a lowly middle manager who dabbles in ERP systems).

So yeah, we still have some serious nerd credentials.

 

[BBKing]

Not an engineer here. Dont cook much either. AND to boot, I ****ing hate math!

But I love beer....

Currently work construction (or some strange form of it) while trying to break into the medical field (EMT certified)

 

[AB-Brew]

I'm a Registered Nurse. When I was in school my Microbiology instructor took us to a brewpub as a fieldtrip. The hospital lab was booked.

 

[edb23]

I'm an assistant brewer and before that the only job(s) I ever had was cooking at various restaurants

 

[rustbucket]

just finished my masters in engineering.. (looking for a job)

 

[smagee]

English major working under (and in support of) engineers. More engineer friends than english nerds, however...

 

[SkylerChaBro]

Bachelor of Business Administration majoring in Marketing, and what you could call a minor in web development. I also have a passion for computers and IS/IT. I'm talking to my advisers about moving to a CIS or MIS for graduate school.

 

[corkybstewart]

Most of the homebrewers I know are geologists, sworn enemies of the engineers.

 

[Jamminjoenapo]

Another ME checking in.

BSME from Ole Miss '10 (I'm a youngin).

Also I cooked in multiple restaurants growing up and cooked at home since I was 8 or 9 years old.

 

[BiscayneBrewing]

Firefighter/Paramedic.

BS in Marketing from FSU. Came in handy with the fire department...not.

I do cook quite a bit.

 

[mredge73]

Electrical Engineer Here.

I build Drilling Rigs for a living, so my knowledge of hydraulics and mechanics are in tuned with my electrical knowledge. I got into brewing because I like good beer and don't like paying for it. And being from Louisiana, I have a collection of propane burners and large Crawfish pots at my disposal. It is a good match.

 

[Lucky_Chicken]

tooling engineer here

 

[Refly]

Went to school for ME but never used it. I'm actually in operations role which is essentially process design, planning, execution etc.. Wish I went for Industrial Engineering now that I look back but everything worked out.

Little did I know that the operations experience was going to play out with brewing. Process is everything.

Seems to me engineering backgrounds and brewing = moth to a flame. It's irresistible.

 

[Zorin]

Currently over 20yrs in the Air Force as an Aicraft Electrical/Mechnical Engineer. I also hold a BS in both Culinary Arts and Computer Science, with a MS in IT Management. I love the science behind brewing, hence, why I started in the first place.

 

[Lucky_Chicken]

Seems to me engineering backgrounds and brewing = moth to a flame. It's irresistible.

Ive noticed that too... not sure why that is, but since I started brewing all the engineers I work with want to help build stuff for the process/ help and learn how to brew.

 

[bumstigedy]

My degree is in chemical engineering, but I don't do any engineering work these days. As I have progressed in my career I have basically become a high paid secretary.

Brewing is a fun way to put some of these old skills to use!

 

[shaggybudd]

I have a BA in Mulitmedia. I guess I'm more on the art side of the equation.

Just like it except different

 

[warex]

I "work" for the government.

But back when I actually had to work for a living I was a pipe fitter. So basically I can make it work in spite of your plans.
