Blacksheep,
Well said. A topic that, like you I do feel quite strongly about. A more recent example of a person who I would call an Engineer was good old Fred Dibnah. Not on the same scale perhaps as the names you have mentioned, but a heck of an Engineer. Not only did he know how his machines worked, he could draw/design/build/test and maintain them. I believe that he went to Art College.
We have one Engineering Masters Degree holder in the MRO I work for. This is out of 800 staff. A quarter of those staff are Licensed. This person has been heard to say on more than one occasion that they are the most qualified person in the Company. If this sort of arrogant and I am afraid to say, ignorant comment is indicative of the sort of person who has a degree and is also the opine of some Degree holders, then, I am glad that I chose the career path I did.
