I think you should start learning how to do more things at the work place then, If you are always in a position where you have nothing to do.
The truth is, whether you have actual specific tasks or not, it looks bad to the boss and your co workers when you're at work doing nothing. I would suggest asking if one of the engineers with more work responsibility would mind showing you how to do certain tasks as he does them.
This way you will actually be busy doing something productive, and next time around you can actually help, instead of pretending to work.
When I was 17 I had a job as a retail assistant. My job was basically to stand there and help customers if they needed it. My job was pretty much standing there doing nothing all day, but everytime I had no customers to help, I repacked the shelves, cleaned up, tidied the untidy shelves, anything to keep busy. Bosses don't like seing their employees doing nothing. Sweep the floors if you must.
Is it my problem?
