Default Re: Engineers

I am an engineer for a US auto company. Engineers do not know everything including myself. A good engineer has sense enough to ask or research what he is looking for. I have run across many engineers who do not know the relationship of the parts they are responsible for with the rest of the car, and a lot of times it gets them in trouble having to do costly re-work.

I was lucky to have the luxury of training under old school engineers that were hands on guys that modified or repaired their parts as needed to get the necessary results they were after. Engineering is no where like that anymore. Just being book smart didn't cut it then and doesn't cut it now.

I always thought engineering and Drag racing went well with each other. My schooling is Engineering and Buisness. I never knew what I wanted to be in life(well besides a racer of some type).


People who think they know everything really annoy the heck out us who do. Just kidding.

One of the experiences of being an Engineer, is living in a cubicle; anything can take place in cubicle...
