      Shane1999, there’s a question !
      Must be their logical minds, attention to detail, confidence, and problem solving abilities.
      ususally wrapped up in a great sense of humour 🙂

      Not every engineer is the same! As such you find that you click with some more than others, for much the same reasons as why you have your friend groups at school, ie share the same classes, interests etc. It is a very important skill however to be able to work with all different types of people regardless of any personal feelings you might have. I would like to point out that I do in fact like pretty much all the engineers I work with! (My wife adds that she likes me as an engineer because “brains are sexy” ew.)

      Because they are generally very clever, practical and hardworking individuals. I think everyone has their own style and are better at manual and/or desk work than others so not everyone is the same. Engineers always figure out a way to fix a problem and this can be a very useful person to have around.

      i like engineers because they are all very like minded people, they think about a problem the same way (how do we get that building to stay up) as compared to an architect (will it look nice) or a quantity surveyor (how much will it cost).

      thanks

      I like engineers as they all thing in the same way and every time I work with another engineer a problem gets solved twice as fast.
