Ame Recognized As A Skilled Trade

I guess the thing is then, we had better be PROFESSIONAL in our profession or maybe find a new line of work, wouldn't you think?

Well said. There is a difference between the title of "professional" and the attitude of professional.

 

who has higher ethics? The electrical engineer or the AME? I am hoping it would be the latter.

 

I would hope both adhere to their ethics. A rogue AME may be able to cause a crash, and a rogue electrical engineer may be able to cause a power outage for millions in the dead of winter. It's a silly debate. The fact is that the title of professional engineer belongs to a degree'd engineer who's put in his accredited time and written the required ethics and other exams.

 

In my opinion a degree'd engineer's title does not detract or enhance my profession but at the same time I recognize a degree'd engineer's academic achievements as higher than mine.
