Engineers are always right... FALSE!
As seen in the picture above some of society and almost ALL engineers have this idea that ENGINEERS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT, but THIS IS NOT TRUE, and it is time for the engineering stereotype to be set straight. Many people look at engineering and generalize it as a field full of geniuses. The common saying "Trust me, I'm an engineer" was derived from the stereotype. As an engineer I'd like to think i knew everything in but in reality I obviously do not. Engineers are extremely intelegent but a common idea that gets overlook when thinking about an engineer is the trails and error engineers experience. We can't just look at a problem and know the answer. In fact just like authors might have to write and rewrite a book 20 times before it can be published, engineers often test and retest prototypes multiple times before building the final product.

This post isn't intended to degrade or offend engineers but
I agree with this post as an engineering student. Many people don't realize that being wrong is something that is essential for some learning experiences. Being wrong helps engineers grow.
