The situation with the engineers I think is typical to a degree in all industries, once in a while an engineer drafts something up that works on paper but not in practice. It happens when someone only know the design side but has little or no experience in fabrication.
Hey, guess what? I love to drink Wild Turkey straight in a glass! What do ya think about that?
Of course we looked the prints over! We had to sign off on them. We 'owned' our particular jobs. I think it's pretty unreasonable to expect a drafter to be a builder too though. That's just not realistic.
And don't generalize. The degree isn't usually the problem.
I didn't do any stick welding outside of learning it in school, my job was mostly mig aluminum and some steel. My school didn't spend much time on mig, especially aluminum, so I learned on the job...didn't learn much about fabrication in school either but I picked it up fast. I was willing to work hard and listened well so most of the guys there were happy to mentor me for a bit.
Do you think people are better off with a college degree?

well a general english or history major aint bullshit if one uses it to go postgrad or git a job i understands and i knows they has theys place
what im discussin is peoples what git ridiculous degrees without ant thought of how to use em
incompetence is everywhere and stem grads aint no exception
sounds as if yalls situation werent so much with bad engineers as with bad management
a pro welder? the more i hears the more i likes!

oh look at mrs fancypants usin a glass
i wouldnt trust an engineer what couldnt turn a wrench or two and a good management shouldnt neither
a well run shop should at least have the trades foremen look over the designs before they goes into production
as for the peoples gittin bullshit degrees i thinks the problems that they dont and never had a plan in the first place
