My office (construction/industrial plumbing) has 4 engineers, I am not one. One of my cousins/partners is a nuclear engineer, the other a mechanical engineer and PE, plus two other engineers on staff.

They do a great job on the difficult problems but come to me when the conversation turns to the practical side.

I have the highest respect for engineers, but sometimes it takes the grunts to solve the problem, simply, not the over thought complicated solutions I usually get from them.

They (engineers) are cocky, probably due to their education and being considered a professional, like some docs and lawyers.

Just my 2 cents.
