UK agriculture uses some of the most advanced technology out there. Land based engineering always thinks about what the future will hold — and comes up with new ways to protect and use our resources wisely through technology. You can enter this career with an apprenticeship and do college courses in it too. Your skills will be useful all over the UK… in fact, wherever there is land! When crisp companies hold competitions asking you to design your own flavour, what flavour would YOU design to excite the taste buds and sell to as many people as possible?
You could be making sure food labels are giving honest nutrition information, or blending new ingredients to invent or tweak recipes. All the jobs listed above will be easier when you develop your self-belief, teamwork, problem solving, organisation and communication skills. Aged 14 to 24?

In this day and age, people misusing "Doctor" is hardly new; I've dealt with a Lock Doctor, who was a mobile locksmith and saved me from having to break a window.
There's a spectrum the respectful reverence that might be like Germany, and willful disrespect and mocking that's typical of America. But, any institution that engenders that level of distance potentially prevents the scrutiny required to root out malfeasance, as demonstrated by the rampant match fixing in sumo wrestling. I've thrown out a maintenance engineer because he "did the calcs" and wanted to buy M9 bolts.
I've also learned more about machine design from a "lathe operator" than from school and first employer combined.
I get the frustration. I once met someone that was a "business development engineer". Their position was nothing related to anything engineering But at the same time, it's pretty obvious to most that someone who is a "mechanical engineer" versus "configuration engineer" is discussing one thing versus another.
I guess that's a good reason to go for the PE designation I worked one place where a hack designer was promoted to "engineering supervisor" just so they could put the word "engineering" in his title and give him more credibility. When you say "SAE" I sort of think of motor oil. It's been sort of watered down from what they are all about. As I said above, the degree dosen't mean knoledge, but it may mean trainable.
But also remember the Peter princible happens in managment. Then again lack of degree does not imply un-trainable - unless there are a lot of pets out there with degrees. Wow seems like this post might have gotten a bit out of hand. I'm not slamming anyone without a degree I've worked with many non-degreed people that where very good and I've worked with some Ph'D engineers that never seen a machine shop.
My original post was dealing with people that have positions that they are in over there head. Just because I have a degree in one area doesn't qualify me to preform medical surgery.
Typical workflow in most companies is something is designed, the released through an ECO then purchased or manufactured, then delivered to customer. At my company, I've been at for the past 6 months, things breakdown after the design phase and we can't ship products.
I'll design something,write an ECO pass it to the config. So myself and the config manager CM , who is also new, have take on the CE job rolls because if not it never gets released.
Afterwards we pass that to chain supply for ordering and then we get phone calls from the vendor, because chain supply just sends out assembly drawings and no BOM's or detail drawing but expect the vendors to quote on fabing parts. Again after countless meetings with chain supply on what to do myself and CM have to take on their rolls. In the meantime we have program manager's wanting to know what the delays are, which we have to answer for.
For example I designed a product back in Sept and it sat for months while I thought it was release and even today supply chain hasn't placed order because they're lost on what to do and the program manager is fuming.
Its so bad the CM wants to let the CE and supply chain people let go but can because he's new and his boss will not allow it. So I apologize for my rant, I'm not personally attacking none degreed people. Every company has some level of dis-orgization. Our purchasing people maybe good at purchasing wire, but they struggle with custom equipment and services.
Youd think they know the difference between a civil work company, and an electrical work company, but they struggle. One approach we've used is to create a single zip file or similar for each assembly which has all the required documentation in it.
Trouble is ensuring this gets kept up to date. I've noticed the non-degreed cohort can be pretty thin-skinned on this issue. Hard knocks diploma not printed on cowhide. I've brought this up before, but one of the most talented engineers I've worked with was a degree-less ex air traffic controller.
How has nobody brought up the term Domestic Engineer yet? I agree that the term Engineer is being used everywhere and that may make people feel less special but it is my understanding that this has been the case for hundreds of years. I recall some letters from a US Engineer in the 's who voiced feeling concerned that the 'Professionals' of Lawyers viewed him as a blue collar contractor since he worked with them and he felt he should be viewed as a higher member of society.
In the end, the individual matters more than a title. I draft what makes my intent the clearest and move on with myself. I like to spend my time tormenting interns and making contractors over build everything! EngineeringEric Structural You bring up the term domestic engineer, I believe the term was shelved when the heating and domestic engineers union merged with the Draughtsman's and allied technicians union, before they too were absorbed by Unite.
God knows what they are called now. You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do. CVG, Well that is a little different from my understanding of the title. Well, yes Engineers are just people who have honed their critical thinking and problem-solving skills beyond standards. If you want to become an engineer, don't let having a degree hold you back. Get out there and learn. Are any of you engineers without a degree?
