    What do you think are the biggest misconceptions society has about engineers? I'm especially focusing on the misconceptions the non-engineers have about engineers.

    Here's another one: Requests from the parents of school students in the neighbourhood during their ward's examination to suggest a few important questions that have a high probability of appearing in their question papers, especially science and math. If you refuse, you are branded as 'Rude', 'Mean', etc, etc,...
