1. Usually a person that studies engineering and works in the field after graduating.
2. Can usually have a very strange, peculiar personality, usually because of pushy parents who stressed them to become engineers. 75% of the time, the parents aren't even engineers or smart, they just want their kids to do what they couldn't do.
3. Can be very intelligent, or in many cases, very arrogant people. Will not only claim to know everything about engineering, but also about the government, medicine, even professional sports. However, while you can't beat them at engineering knowledge, do stand up to them when they claim to know more about something you know a lot about. Sadly enough, many engineers have an ego.
1. John earned a Chemical Engineering degree and now works for Dupont making polymers.
2. Joe had a pushy mother that worked as a secretary. She made him finish every math workbook she could find until he could ace Calculus in the eighth grade. Joe now lacks appropriate interpersonal skills and cannot keep friends.
3. Mark knows everything about aerospace engineering and fixing my computer, but he thinks he knows everything about basketball, even though I played college ball. He thinks it's a game of numbers, when it's really about attitude, heart and practice, and whether or not the goddamn coach likes you!
