Basically, what defines a "real engineer" has pretty much nothing to do with engineering? I'd rather define engineers as people who have the skill and know how to engineer.
- sammydavis 10y agoFood workers at the grocery story have all 3 of those (maybe weak on accountability other than losing their job), and they aren't engineers.
- olalonde 10y agoThat is pretty much my point.
- argv_empty 10y agoThose three are claimed as necessary conditions, not sufficient conditions. I agree that "engineer" also implies some degree of technical skill (like understanding the difference between sufficient and necessary).
