This is an interesting problem.
What is the diameter of piping for the pressure gauge?
I've heard of issues involving air or crud being in pressure gauge piping which can adversely effect the reading.
Has this piping been checked?
Being forced to do work you don't want to do is awful.
On the other hand, keeping engineers perennially in the office helps to disassociate those engineers from the real world on which engineering is supposed to be based.
B16A2,
If the perception today is that civil engineers are of low quality, at some point in the past there must have been civil engineers of high quality.
Compared to today, did the high quality civil engineers in the past have more or less formal education?
StructuralEIT,
He's saying something much worse.
In bringing up ethics he's telling us that less educated engineers are in general, "bad people."
BA162,
Are there any studies that indicated that more education makes engineers more ethical?
B16A2,
Does more education result in more ethical engineers?
Are there more ethical engineers now than before the education standards were raised in the last century?
You say money gets in the way of ethical judgement. All engineers get paid with money. Can engineers even be ethical when they...

Exactly. Apprenticeship is part of what I'm talking about.
There is also a problem at the family level where children are expected to learn everything they need to know from mandatory schools and other structured programs. There is very little room for children to explore on their own...
Young grads do not have tinkering experience. They are told by their parents and teachers to keep their heads down and do force fed homework and they will be good and successful people.
Exploration and curiosity with the physical world are not encouraged by the adults around them. The...
Many blame education which has been producing knowledgeable engineers inconsistently for over a century.
Many blame the lack of mentoring which has also happens to be an inconsistent source of quality knowledge.
Many blame new fangled computer programs that are being used by inconsistent...
