- closeparen 4y agoDo you think the field of electrical engineering is mistaken about its own name? As far as I know it is not common practice for people working in this field to be licensed and bonded, yet I have not heard another name for it.
- airbreather 4y agoActually yes, see my post further up.
- toast0 4y agoI'm not in Texas, so an engineering degree is enough to call myself an engineer[1]. I don't need to be licensed and insured to operate a locomotive. [1] although really, that's just me being credentialist: doing engineering is enough to justify calling oneself an engineer.
- midislack 4y agoCoding isn’t engineering. Neither is playing with electronics even if you manage to get a product to market. In some countries you’ll go to jail for impersonating an engineer. Used to be like that in the US but of course, that changed and now quite literally everybody is an engineer if you squint now.
