This doesn't contribute anything. You're missing the important question "what is engineering?". Saying it's just "whatever engineers do" is meaningless.

- Avalaxy 13y agoWikipedia: "Engineering is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes. It may encompass using insights to conceive, model and scale an appropriate solution to a problem or objective. The discipline of engineering is extremely broad, and encompasses a range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of technology and types of application." Application of scientific/practical knowledge: check. Design, build and maintain systems/processes, check. Using insights to conceive, model and scale a solution to a problem, check. Sorry, but this is just a nonsense discussion imho. Stop devaluating your own grade.
- polemic 13y agoI only objected to you defining engineering as "what an engineer does". It does not devalue the profession to challenge that assertion.
