Nicholas Alexander Buckendorf I'm having some good successes
   hanging out with Engineers on the eng-tips forums. I haven't
   presented my unfinished ideas to them - probably won't for a
   long time - but they loved how I summarized my view of the
   Engineering mindset - three of them just from my first post are
   going to quote me :) I may never become an Engineer per se but I
   am definitely a fan. It was the piece missing from Science for
   me that I had been looking for; where theory and reality meet.
