Best one I heard in the UK was "refuse disposal engineer" for the man who empties the bins.Outrage said:As you say, Engineer particularly in the UK seems to be a term which everyone misuses anyhow.
I am happy to have been called:
Machine specialist.
Control Engineer.
Software Engineer.
Automation Engineer.
I have never applied for chartered engineer status but having spent 12 years on the mechanical aspects of machines, 22 on control systems and have an engineering degree I feel I have earned the title of engineer.
I was once asked if I knew everything about control systems. I replied that I have picked up considerable useful knowledge over the years but for the rest I am a fearless dabbler.
