      Good question…An engineer is the best kind of person you will meet! Only kidding…

      well the dictionary definition is:

      A person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or structures.

      This doesn’t necessarily cover everything though. For example I do maintain machines but one of the other engineers, Zoe, uses engineering to looks at ways to make food healthier which isn’t covered in this definition.

      Thanks Danielle 🙂 she did actually cover a little bit about what I do because I particularly work on food design of the structure. So people think engineers work a lot on big scale machines but some engineering is done on small scale aswell 🙂

      I still have to work on big scale stuff aswell like manufacturing food so for the most part she is right!
