PLEEEEZE do not categorize engineers!!! They are NOT all alike. My daughter is a chemical engineer for a large prestigious company and she is a very warm and sweet person. She loves to do crafts, scrapbooking, and I am trying to get her interested in quilting now. I taught her how to sew when she was very young and she showed alot of interest in. She even made some of her own clothes. She understands the practical "needs" of a quilter and does not over-evaluate everything. Maybe it's that "women" engineers think differently. They deal with problems at home and at work and don't make a huge complicated project out of everything.
So.......please don't put all engineers in the same category. There are some that don't fit the general mold.
I hope these comments don't offend anyone, but the idea just pulled at my heart strings. LOL
