Calling all engineers
I noticed the other day that there are loads of engineers on here (engineers are the most likely profession to crash a bike apparently). I'm studying at Manchester Uni at the mo and looking for a placement for summer in either aerospace/mechanical engineering. Would anyone be able to help me out with an address or anything else? Lunchtime rideouts would be ace!
Thanks Robin  (i've got no preference of location whatsoever) |

Re: Calling all engineers
If your looking for heavy plant I could give you my work address in a Quarry? I'm not in the mechanical side, I'm electrical. Far cleaner!!!

Re: Calling all engineers
Shame most 'engineers' are just technicians. Speaking of which....

Re: Calling all engineers
Forgive my ignorance, but what's an Engineer? I've got a bit of paper somewhere (or did have) saying I'm one, but in truth I'd just call myself a mechanic, it's just these days it seems if people aren't Engineers they're technicians and the two terms seem to be interchangable
Vehicle technician/engineer PC technician/engineer or even and I heard this from a mate Installation technician/engineer (flat-pak kitchen fitter) See what I mean  Cheers Mark.

Re: Calling all engineers
Engineers are professionals - they have an engineering degree.
