An emotive argument this one.
I'm a degree educated engineer (cone-head) and I thoroughly object to a plumber being able to be labelled as a "heating engineer" or a telephone fitter being called a "telecom engineer".
However, if the "engineer" is educated or trained to a certain level (which most contributors to this forum are) then they should be respected as such, and called
Professional Engineers. To me, a technician is the person between the fitter and the engineer. I guess that fits in with Rusty's comments.
God, that's a load of waffle...
Oh and Jet Set,
I'd like to see university-boy-super-dogs-dangly-engineer sort three tech aircraft out on his jack jones.
Reinforces the stereotype don't you think... if we didn't design them then you'd have no planes to go tech!!!
