It's a shame that engineers can get degrees from >the same institutions that sponsor fine art. Woah, Woah, hold up skip. Engineering is a LOT more complicated than you think, and many engineers dont share this boobs interpretation of art. Talk to any architectural engineer. Vocational schools dont teach the advanced concepts needed for today's engineering degrees, and engineers dont walk around bragging about the art that is discussed at their school. Anyway, I have a feeling you werent trying to flame engineers as much as people who dont know V. VanGough from Dick Van Dike. There are MANY engineers and scientists (as Im sure you know) that appreciate art (and even took basic art history courses as electives). sm
