Default How many engineers own C3??

I have noticed that many of the people on this site are engineers of one type or another. I think that the self-customization approach to the C3 Vette attracts engineer types. So whether you are a engineering student, an EIT or a PE list your occupation, your Vette and you school/degree

Occupation: Audio/electronics Engineer.
Vette: 76 stingray-Ar 383 stroker-4-speed--lots of goodies.
School: Portland State University----BS Electrical Engineering and BS Physics (Not quite done with that one)

Not an engineer but I'm an electrical drafter. I work on powerplants.

Sure does make electical work easy on the car. Take the scheme for my car to work, explain the problem and fix it when I get home.

Although, my wife is headed back to school this year to finish up. After she is done, I'm headed back for a BS in Mechanical engineering. In the meantime, I'm just working on my general education classes.

BS in Aeronautical Engineering.

14 years in the Navy, flying for 12 1/2. Trust me, that has nothing to do with engineering and the degree didn't matter.

Also have an MA in National and Strategic Studies.

Senior student in computer engineering, working on grad school apps for masters/PhD in software engineering.

Couldn't be further removed from my car in terms of field of study, though the electrical classes I've been taking do make the C3's electrical system seem slightly less scary.
