Engineer?

That's fantastic! Most are true for most of the (civil) engineers I know.

I went to school for manufacturing engineering. The mechanical and electrical engineers did not consider civil to be true engineering. Nor did the university. It was considered a lesser field.

What about railroad engineers? You going to rip on them next and denigrate their profession? Where does it end?

Seriously? What's that about? The NCEES sure does as it has several PE exams for it. It may be more broad, but why would that make it not "true" engineering?

Just wasn't treated on par with the rigors necessary for the other disciplines. It's very much "off on its own" separate for mech, electrical, industrial, MS, computer, etc. The engineering schools I was involved with saw it as a sub-engineering field, not as rigorous as engineering.
The PE exam was required junior year. Hardly a bar for rigor

Don't get me wrong, personally I'm an engineering school drop out. But the schools I attended didn't see Civil as a core engineering discipline.
