A person works in the engineering field who discusses and debates the best way method to perform a given task, but then consciously avoids doing the actual work themselves.
"It is quite amusing how Mark got so heated in the arguement about how to architect that widget but then the next day he avoids actually performing the very tasks that he was describing" said Frank.
Max replies, "That is because he is a Chickenhawk Engineer. He will always get in arguements about how to solve a problem, but never gets involved in the actual work of implementing the solution."

The gene passed down from one person to another, resulting in a future engineer. Tell-tale signs in such a person include an inexplicable love for creating problems to solve (technical or mechanical) when there's absolutely no need to, the constant need to find solutions for everyday issues that no one else gives a crap about, know-it-all syndrome, and the inability to admit they're wrong. Are usually social inept to some degree.
On a side note, this is also why engineering jobs have hierarchies (like worker, head engineer of division 2, chief engineer of all divisions, etc.) If they didn't have an orderly and number-oriented way to say "the bill stops here" they'ed never get anything done.

Normal person: I'm bored, I'd go on the computer but the internet's so fricking slow today...
Person with engineering gene: I'm bored. I think I'll take apart the computer. Oh, look, the internet's not working. I think I'll spend the whole afternoon solving that problem
instead.
