    Re: Engineer Definition

    A technician is an expert in troubleshooting circuit and system malfunctions. Along with a thorough knowledge of test equipment and how to use it to diagnose problems, the technician is also familiar with how to repair or replace faulty components. Technicians basically translate
    theory into action

    A mechanic is a person who uses tools to repair things (generally machinery) or works to keep things operating properly

    I would say we fit in the technicion category
    I totaly agree with these definitions!

    But, I must admit that some of us are both engineers and technicians!
