Is it not possible there is also some disconnect between a MechE and the technicians? Yes....theoretically these materials work this way, but practically no one can manufacture this thing for you. It's definitely more apparent with SEng (especially because I'm familiar with the topics), but the real incentive of having licensure is the ability to revoke it and put liability on the licensed individual.

In my experience, mechanical engineers spend a lot of time working on how to make things more manufacturable, and both in their degree programs and on the job, they often spend enough time getting their hands dirty to have some intuition for manufacturing. I think the more common disconnect is between the guy who designs the machine and the guy who has to fix it and cusses him out because there is no reason you should have to take the whole damn engine out to replace that damn piece of rubber that wears out twice a year.
