    What is an engineer



    A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering. - Freeman Dyson

    Works for me, if you were around 50+ years ago. Not much left now that hasnt been designed before you thought of it or been pat by someone else a few years earlier after you made a working model and thought you were onto something...

    sad really, as i would imagine it would be hard to prove you also came up with the 'origional' idea.
