Nobody puts Engineers in the Corner

The guy who drives the Orange Line train is an Engineer, housewives are now calling themselves Domestic Engineers, trash men are Sanitation Engineers.

When does the gratuitous use of the word Engineer stop? I went to school for 4 years (UMass Amherst represent!), and had to pass an 8-hour, hard, tedious exam that summarized what I learned in the 4 years, just to get the title Engineer-In-Training. How can the US have such little respect for engineers (thanks Dilbert), and throw around the word Engineer like it is a cheap hooker when other countries highly regard engineers?

Rajeev Bajaj an Electrical Engineer noticed this too when he came to the US from India. That’s why he decided to make raps to show how cool engineering can be. Here’s the rap video, enjoy the coolness that is real engineering.
