But most 'engineering' is not engineering.
Care to explain your perspective? "Engineering" can be a bit of a fuzzy definition. To some it means "building something". To others, it requires the application (and understanding!) of mathematic and scientific principles to build something.

I would disagree that most engineering is not involved in building something...whether most engineers understand the math/science behind it is debatable.
