    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.

    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.

    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?

    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?

    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!

    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.

    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).

    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. ;)
