We should not call ourselves engineers - it's a massive insult to actual professional engineers.
- soulofmischief 7mo agoSpeak for yourself, some of us value and incorporate both science and methodology into our craft, and adhere to a system of ethics.
- spiralcoaster 7mo agoThat's great, but it doesn't make you or any of us engineers. Just because I drive my car with immense focus, make precision shifts, and hit the apex of all of my turns when getting onto and off of the freeway doesn't make me a race car driver. Engineers don't just feel good vibes about science and mix it into their work. It is the core of their work. Simply having a methodology absolutely is not sufficient for being an engineer. And great, you have an arbitrary system of ethics, like everyone does I imagine. But no one holds you to these ethics.
- soulofmischief 7mo agoCare to share your operational definition of the word "engineer"?
