Actually, this is true for all engineers. Mech engineers are usually the most well rounded in their training. I expect a Civil Engineer would know better/quicker how to take down a bridge than I would. It doesn't mean I can't sit down and figure it out.

The same is true with electronic/electrical circuits. I Let the sparkies deal with those, but I can sit down and rough it out if nesessary.
