Besides, engineers are the educated mechanics who put together the
items developed by the scientists. :-))

Thanks for your insight...

Really cornball old story (almost embarrassed to drag it out of the
memory bank):

God creates world, takes four people up on mountain top to show
them what She's created & says, "OK, what do you think of it?"

First person: "Wow, what a piece of real estate!"

God: "OK, you shall be the Businessman, eternally
buying and selling and pricing things"

Second person: "It's beautiful!"

God: "OK, you shall be the Artist, eternally seeking to
create and appreciate beauty"

Third person (after long pause): "How does it work . . . ?"

God: "OK, you shall be the Scientist, eternally trying to
answer that question."

Fourth person (after taking an even longer look at what
God has done): "I'd like to do that too . . ."

God: "Ah, you shall follow the highest calling of all: The Engineer.
Using all the knowledge of the Scientist; all the economic understanding
of the Businessman; all the appreciation of elegance and beauty of the
Artist -- your mission is to carry on the work of Creation."
