I've developed a real distaste for the people whining about how we aren't real engineers and we "just" need to solve that by working more like real engineers and having all these massive up-front design meetings and making tons more plans, etc. etc. It betrays a profound misunderstanding of the situation. The other engineering disciplines don't work like that because they're just soooo much more professional than us.…
I might be misreading but I think you're missing the forest for the trees. It's not about the upfront planning, meetings or whatnot, those are consequences of prior criteria. This is what engineering is: 1-A practical problem is being solved in a scientific way. 2-Safety, repeatability, understanding of the how and why of the solution are non-negotiable. 3-The person solving the problem has been credentialed as an en…

#201Many engineers are not credentialed by any government body. IDK what the breakdown is, but the engineers who build rockets and design a lot of new electronic devices have none of this. And the world is better for it
