The worlds of Design Engineers and Machinists are very different… but they have to meet up at some point, or things don’t get done. I saw a lot of the sort of problems described here back when I was in aerospace; similarly, the worlds of Engineers and Draftsmen were well separated, which was an issue that I found to be insane. When I worked at United Tech in California as a design engineer, people – including my managers – thought I was some sort of whacko because I, a Design Engineer, actually wanted access to a CAD program so I could draw up the stuff I was designing “That’s what the draftsmen are for!” Insanity.
That “Men Have Two Types of Fantasies” at the end? Also true.
