Are you an "Engineer"?

I was talking to an egotistical guy today that works in the "Engineering" department. He was acting acting like those "engineers" typically do, acting like they know everything... Well, I fixed his problem (re-installed his Novell Client).

He said, "Well that shouldn't have taken an engineer to fix that."
I really had no idea what he meant by that, so
I said, "Umm... aren't you guys engineers up here?"
He said, "Yeah, I am an Engineer."
I said, "You mean you are one of those guys with funny hats, that drive trains?"
He said, "Well aren't you done? You can get the hell out of here now!"
HAHAHAHAHA!

I work on computers, and am graduating in a month with a Computer Engineering Technology from DeVry in Columbus..... and there is NO WAY IN HELL that I will ever call myself an engineer! (I'm not)

THIS IS AN ENGINEER! Not a freakin' CAD drawer with an ego!

im an engineer by major. but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
 
I prefer "conductor", for the sheer fact that if they ever made a show about me called "The Magic Engineer", it would sound pretty gay.
 
Actually an ENGINEER is technically someone who can hold a P.E. in a state. (that is, a professional engineering license).

But I agree with you... there are a LOT of people that call themselves engineers that aren't.

yes i am an engineer
biomedical engineer to be specific, because i apply scientific and mathematical principles to my work



edit: i still found what u did funny 🙂
 
No, that should have taken a technician to fix that.

The term "engineer" regarding trains CAME FROM the term that you are implying that it does not originate. You cannot call yourself an engineer because you're getting a TECHNICIAN degree, not an engineering degree.

You know what school I go to... what is yours?

 
edro: maybe you missed it, but you're not getting an engineering degree. I went to a similar school, got a similar degree, and I'm not an engineer. I'm an engineering technician. I can work my way upto an engineer via the school of hard knocks (and I'm almost to the point where I'm a test engineer). But you're a technician, I'm a technician, and he's an engineer. Get over it.
