Isn't that confusing? That is like a favorite saying in our business... When an individual is giving a medical opinion and someone asks "Are you a doctor?" the answer is "No, but I play one on TV!". There is no way to know when a person's signature is "engineer" whether they are practicing engineers or not. I would prefer the signature to be student/robot engineer or simply robot engineer or student engineer. Any of these titles will garner my respect for your point of view. Signing engineer when you are a student leaves me with a much different opinion when I find that you are in fact a student giving engineering responses. I would think that other students would be more in awe of a student or robot engineer that answers accurately and like myself would hold a vastly different opinion of someone who signs "engineer" but is not and gives an inaccurate response to a desperate team who is looking for immediate help.
