look what he said..

Malaysians appear to have the notion that an engineer's work is to get suited up and sit in the office all day.

"Nobody in Germany does that. A qualified engineer goes down to the pits and repair the machines himself, if need be, and he is respected for the willingness to get his hands dirty. Here, the engineers are ... different."

.. i think in Malaysia, the one who are willing to get their hand dirty is only indon and bangla workers.

we need to change our attitude.. i am agree with him!

Zurich is a German-speaking Swiss city.....

suffice to say, u've yet to work. correct?

so, will u come back to work in malaysia after u've obtained your degree?
becos apparently u're very capable. will u go to somewhere else to better use your capability, or come back and work?

just asking. no right or wrong.

Malaysia not win anything for Nobel Prize yet..
our education system Sekolah Kebangsaan, Sekolah Jenis Cina, Sekolah Jenis Tamil didn't produce any Nobel prize winner yet..

in south east asia only vietnam had won the Nobel Prize.. but that one is for peace not for engineering or science technology. 

dats wat kiasu people mindset.

Either way. Higher than yours lol. What have you achieved so far....hmm going overseas and living with mama and papa?

Oso i don't have bad taste in shitty headphone amps hahahhaha. Kids.

But on a more sombre and honest note, people living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Engineer brain work not hands.

I support your arguement.  By the way, Engineers in today's world, most not wanting to dirty their hands.  That's waht my US vendors told me, they are getting too much degree  till they didn't know how to hand their design.    I don't know about you, unless there are already standards in design application, oherwise, why don't a designer go down on the field to at least see his design being implemented, look at whatever possible problems that may arises?

By the way, I am and engineer and a hands on person.  Don't point design something, everything will works, but at what expenses?  OR worse still, don't work and soemone correct your istake and make it work.   At the end of the day, what do the engineer learn?  This happen to one of the former company I worked with.  Another case, Engineer in oil field, US consultants told me engineer don't wnat to go to the field to inspect their design as the design only need to put together  some standardised detail parts together to form a complete unit as a whole.  I can't recall what that was as it was already some 17 yrs ago. 

Don't mean to demean engineers here, but there are as many, good at talking but not in application.

well it true.. why so buthurt ? i admit i am a lazy engineer and will try to avoid going to site and get dirty

any1 here who say the opposite is just a plane liar
