Please provide evidence for your assertion. I work with engineers,
live with an engineer, and most of our friends are engineers. There
are all kinds of engineers, practical and not-so-much.

When my college drafting instructor was in college, engineers had
to learn blacksmithing. That's no longer part of the curriculum,
sadly.
