Now, I have mentioned three key words: engineer, professional, and ethics.
As a student of engineering, I believe that these three words go

The facts that somebody is being professional, educated and ethical does not
guarantee that he has any idea of what he is doing.  The catch is that a
clueless person is generally unware that he's clueless, so he can be quite
eithcal and professional in what he thinks he is doing. Watch the hordes
of ATM zealots - many of them with very impressive credentials.  Does not
make their "contribution" any more worthwhile.

        Yeah, but at least they have a code of ethics.  Where'd ours
        go?
