r1v3r,

Why THAT is a problem?? There are TOO MANY pretend engineers out there anyhow.  In general, only 5% of less in a normal population is suitable to be engineer.  In Asia, Engineering is TOO POPULAR and too many people get an engineering degree for the money or glory.  Hence, they abandoned the field as soon as they  smell money else where.

This is GREAT!! They have NO BUSINESS to be in engineering anyhow.

Added on April 26, 2010, 6:13 pmthere is reason why sg gov make engineering school take in large number of student regardless their quality and intention. They hope that the logical and analytical training (if any) will enble the "mass" to do other jobs when they can't find an Engineering jobs.

Large number of student also needed to sustain the high running cost as compare to art courses.

So, yes with only 5% can be real engineer but they can't get the education without the other 95% student schoo fee.

I agree with r1v3r, the true worth in engineering degree are in the analytical, logical and ability to find optimal solutions. These are the true values that I hold in regard.

Whether its the guy down there trying to optimize the new power stage for a new device or the guy who is trying to figure out optimal work schedules for the guys or the sales engineer trying to help the customer find the right product for their application.

Its what that makes the world go round. People solving problems for other people. It just that engineers are trained specialists for technical problems.

As long as the wannabes know not where not to stick their cruddy hands into where they shouldn't its fine by me. Don't wanna have my car blow up cos the engineer can't do math.
