    Someone serious, diligent and perhaps reserved, if they’re younger they will play a lot of video games. This is just my personal experience but most of the ones I’ve met were kind and interesting people.

    I’m an engineer. I have no awareness of my own demeanor. But people that meet me for the first time, know almost immediately.

    Most engineers I've met have been a little unorganized/messy.

    Smart. Methodical. Sometimes boring but not always. I had an engineer friend in college that funny and fun to be with.

    Social interactions can be confused with someone with autism.

        Engineers are just weird. My dad has always told me that. And now that I’m an adult, I couldn’t agree more.

        I live in a very big military area so a lot of people are engineers. My buddy is getting out of the navy as a nuclear engineer in January. I’ll just miss him.

    I dunno, I guess I would think of an engineer as being good at math, as well as kinda awkward, and dorky.

    Everytime I hear someones a mechanical engineer I think of a friend of mine that I worked with out of highschool and he went to college for the first time at 26 and is now a engineer at our company. Idk if he is ever busy but when I see him at work hes always just sitting around talking. Every now and then you'll see him staring at a machine. Seems like a laid back gig.
