What kind of engineer should you be

[Aerith's Knight]

Physics is not engineering, AK, hence its exclusion.

Then why do I get to put Ing. (Eng. or Engineer in English) before my name after my BSc in Physics?

And to clarify, a BSc doesn't just give you lectures in physics. I was taught Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Programming and Mechanical Engineering. Because you need all of them to actually build an experiment.

Well, I'm going to chalk it up to international standards. In the US you have to take the FE and PE exams (fundamental of engineering, professional engineering) before you can call yourself Engineer.

That sounds strange, as engineering is such an enormously wide concept, how could you on earth make a standartized exam for it. It's not like a Mechanical Engineer knows the same as a Biomechanical Engineer. Unless that exam is so basic (skill-wise) that they both know it already.

But I've had exams in EE, ME, and the such, so perhaps it was just inserted into my curriculum.

But you've made me curious, how do you define the rest of the sciences (Physics, math, chem majors) if not as Engineer?
