Yeah, I've noticed this too. Heck, I just got back from a meeting at UVA ... during which, the head of the Rodman program (the honors program in the engineering school) was asked if ethics was part of the bio-engineering curriculum; then, as a follow up if the law school offered any ethics classes (presumably that engineering students could then take). So he pondered for a minute and said: Ethics in the Law School? ... No, I think I'd like my engineers to learn ethics from people who actually practice them! (Rough paraphrase.)

Granted, making jokes is fun and all, and I'm not annoyed at any of it ... but some of us engineering types want to be lawyers! (So don't assume it as an insult, eh?)
