Who said you needed a degree (or even get paid) to be an engineer?
[edit]IMHO, it's the achievement.[/edit]

I'm going to quote a Clarkson University Professor. This comes from the meeting for each major.
"The difference between and engineer and an inventor is that an engineer creates a product through scientific investigation and theoretical anaylses."
(I may have boched that pretty bad...it was over a month ago..)
Point being is that an engineer goes through large amounts of schooling just to learn the sciences involved in design.
As a first year college student and a fifth year member of FIRST I can safely safe that I am *B]NOT[/b] * an engineer by any means yet. I am studying to become a Mechanical Engineer. I chose this major because I fell in love designing and building mechanical systems and had very good mentors through FIRST.

Just and inquiry,
Pat
