What's your occupation: Engineer or Non-Engineer

[jbb3]

I went to school for electronics engineering. 12 years later I'm a locomotive engineer. Yes, I drive the train. Does that count?

LOL... They used to call me the train driver. I've never been aboard one so if you're actually driving one? Yes that counts...

 

[BlkWater_brewer]

Network/Server 0perations manager. Refused to be called a techie or engineer. That's almost as bad as being an Apple Genius, well maybe not as bad. Oh, and I hate computers and non brewing related gadgets.

 

[89vision]

Clinical mental health counselor. I assess people who are homicidal/suicidal/psychotic and determine if they need to be in a psych facility against their will. Brewing lets me challenge myself in a much different way.

World famous mechanical engineer. A legend in my own mind.

[starfruit08]

I'm a maintenance manager that has engineers who report to me. Me myself, not an engineer. I do sleep with a metallurgical engineer every night though and I gotta tell ya, does not help the beer taste better!

 

[JONNYROTTEN]

NON
Years ago I was doing a roof and the the homeowner(engineer) came out with the entire roof and each shingle laid out to scale on graft paper.He tried telling how to lay out a roof.I looked at him with a blank stare and went back to work.

Professional musician here.

 

[slowride77]

Polymer (Plastics) Engineer

 

[Seismogenic]

Earthquake geophysicist here!

But because studies on seismic hazard and ground motion have rather important implications for the built environment, I've worked with engineering seismologists/geologists, civil engineers, and structural engineers on things.

I guess, if we're really going to walk that fine line, I was part of an engineering department for six months...

 

[Sammy86]

Teacher and Coach right here

 

[brewbama]

[watermelon83]

[NewJersey]

Non engineer who dislikes what this thread title implies.

 

[Baja_Brewer]

Non engineer who dislikes what this thread title implies.

That if you ply any other trade than engineering, you're not "one of us"?

It is an interesting way to put it - I've met some engineers that certainly think that way but I don't find it favorable.

I can't remember whether or not I was studying in Mech Eng when I posted here before - but Ocean Engineer BS and MS.

 

[sportpak]

I run an EDM dept at a machine shop. Lots of medical stuff, high end o-ring molding, and other things. Engineers are useful and necessary, but are normally a PITA.

 

[BostonianBrewer]

She is an EE I'm just a brew shop worker ... So I guess we are filed under bolth!

 

[LiquidMagic]

Looking at correlation between brewing process and engineering regimen. People who like process control and technical side of brewing have engineer tendencies or are engineers.
