Does the ability to change out a tone cap make me an engineer?

Maybe to some, but not to be in this.

Bwahahaha! Now that's funny.

Hey I'm majoring in electronic engineering as we speak! I've gone back to school at 41. Oy, the kids around me! I'm in!

This, on the other hand, can. Kudos to you becoming an EE no matter what age!

My degree is Computer Engineering (BSCE).

My first job was doing VLSI design at Intel on the Pentium 4.

My second job was head Electrical Engineer for a small company designing/building electronics for ultra-precision metrology equipment (mostly surface finish).

My current job is best described as "Electrical Engineer to the Aerospace Engineering Professors" at a large research university. Basically I design and maintain circuits, PCBs, data collection systems, and all sorts of other electronics for research and instructional support.

I'm actually really thrilled at all the ranges of engineering, science and computer backgrounds we've had so far.

Since we're bassists, we must be the smartest people who do what we do :D

I'll resume with numbers in the morning. Getting sleepy.
 
Web UI Developer... Not really an "engineer" I guess. The programming languages of my trade are not complied.

Bull**** you aren't really an "engineer". You do what I currently do - Front End Engineering on the web, which means you write code to make web apps. You are most certainly an engineer.

I'm an electrical engineer working in the power industry. I love playing bass because it's so far from what I do during the day.

My good friend in Taiwan did SCADA power systems for a long time for the Taipei MRT. Do you also work with SCADA?
