Most of you took the words right out of my mouth. The best Engineer ever created was one that:
1. Was raised on a farm.
2. Was middle class or poor.
3. Then went to college to be an Engineer.

A great recipe. I happen to work with one and usually in the end, everyone goes to him for the solutions. What does he provide? Usually answers that relate to common sense.

I had a first cousin who was a straight A Engineering student. I happen to be not as mentally privileged and went to a 4 college to get an Industrial Mechanical degree.
With both of our degrees, his mother asked me to pick him up on my way to our grandmothers house. I was going to repair her toilet in which the float / fill valve needed replaced. His mother wanted me to teach him how to replace it, so when I move away, he can fix it.
I take him along, replace the valve, show him how and asked him if he had any questions. He had only one. "Why don't they do this electronically?".
There you have a fine example of our future. No poor farmer foundational education that we call COMMON FRIGGIN SENSE!!!!
Electronically would be more accurate. When you add in the COMMON FRIGGIN SENSE factor, which they are missing, you would realize that instead of a $10.00 part it would be a $50.00 part. Then no one would buy it and you would make no money. This mathematical formula is called.....COMMON FRIGGIN SENSE!!!
