Default Re: Big Problem: Studio Recording People are NOT "Engineers"

Firstly, I'm not sure this qualifies as a 'big problem'.

Secondly, you may need to investigate ALL the meanings of a word - most have several, based on context etc.

From the Free Dictionary...(but please consult any other dictionary to confirm)

engineer

1. One who is trained or professionally engaged in a branch of engineering.
2. One who operates an engine.
3. One who skillfully or shrewdly manages an enterprise.

...To further define 1.

engineering

1.
a. The application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems.
b. The profession of or the work performed by an engineer.
2. Skillful maneuvering or direction
