What's it like being an engineer?
At CE, we talk a lot about engineering. In fact we talk only about engineering.
If you were asked by someone a question such as: “What's it like being an engineer?”,
what would your reply be?
I must admit I will be stumped. It's easy enough to tell someone what I do as an engineer, but 'being one' is a very different matter.
It is much like when, asking a single child, "What it was like being an only child?"
To which the the obvious response should be “I don't know, I've never been anything else”.
Share your thoughts people 😀

LeoI don't know why you asked this question, this question will be surprising for those who never thought they will ever become engineers before they became one. When i got admission in Computer Science i felt how i gonna study those big books and huge syllabus, but after those four years i spent in engineering, today i became able to understand many things which many general people might never understand. One of those things is government is not responsible for any of terrorist activities that becomes succesfull , it is people of India themself responsible for terrorists activities.
Even the weakly constructed roads never break in less than a year, its people who break them, how much we really implemented town plan in our city etc. Even if there comes any new technology or invention i don't appear as nerd when they explain working of their project though i may not understand all. I never just feel i am engineer, i feel i am better man being an engineer, better human being, an intellectual individual and reponsible man. Today i know how to blame myself when i do something wrong and take responsibilty. When i keep my hands on my keyboard i feel, it is the thing that i always wanted to do, this is the thing i am born to do. I love being an Engineer and I love being a Security Pro. -
Ankita Katdare@Leo: That was the kind of answer I expected when I posted that question.
PS: People don't realize that whats it like to be an engineer 😀 -
