In Europe engineers get to use the title Ing. or Dipl.Ing. to indicate
that
they completed studies and are working on improving the tools for mankind.
In
Canada they use P.Eng., here in Hamerica they are the best kept secret,
underpaid, overworked, oversued. Just look at Nikola Tesla or ask any
student.
Who? What?

So you are saying that Engineers are the Rodney Dangerfield of American
society!

Yep, I do believe that you are correct.

First manufacturing and then Engineering follows... it's getting worse
over here year by year with more and more "high tech" Engineering work
being done by our far eastern brothers and less here in the West. Each
year the next generation of Engineers I see graduating from our schools
seem to exhibit less and less knowledge and skill.

It happened with consumer electronics and ham radio equipment lo these
many years ago today it is software development and soon "all" Engineering
will be gone from the West.

Eventually there will be no more Engineers in the West who understand
technology, just a bunch of "technology operators" with great social
science and marketing skills operating the video games of life!

Only be a few of us old-time "antenna gurus" will recall when and how
the A/D and D/A converters got put on the outside of the antenna
connectors on our SDR's!!! And... all the rest will olny have Art
Uwnin explagnini to htem woh thigns wrk.

Not a pretty picture!
