:lol lol! I'm getting used to bad tempered engineers. I have accepted the fact that there is nothing on this earth that I can do to ever change an engineer's opinion. Option A is leave the Engineer alone. When this is not possible, option B is to aim to get them to be OK with not being involved with the process/decisions. An engineer actively disagreeing with you is a complete impasse. Avoid at all costs.

In defense of engineers, the reason you can't change their opinion is because it isn't an opinion. It is a theory devised from the facts at hand... they are engineers after all. ;)

Thanks Howard ;)

:cheers: It is the truth. And for the record, I like all the engineers I work with. Even if they make my job crazy sometimes. Recent example:

I am building out training for a new equipment system we are developing. The system contains a chemical mixing chamber, a waste collection pan, and a chemical bottle that feeds into the system. I have develop training for our technicians to assemble. In the training, I tell technicians to connect the chemical jug to the hose that leads to the mixing container, and waste will be disposed of in the drain pan.

Engineer looks at it and rejects the training, because I correctly labeled the mixing container, but the chemical jug is really a chemical container, "Jug" is just not a term any engineer can accept, and the drain pan, is considered a "drain container", because of its parts classification it is too deep to be a pan.

So his proposal is that I train technicians to connect the container to the container that drains into the other container. Thus began my two week journey that ultimately ended in creating a "engineer to technician" translation dictionary.
