What's an engineer?

My nine-year-old daughter Jae and I were talking.


Me: Kate’s dad is an engineer.

Jae: What’s an engineer.
Me: People with college degrees that use their math and science skills to build, create, and problem solve.
Jae: Like an architect.

Me: Well, they can create “things” like bridges. Sometimes they work with roads or water to recreate and improve our environment. Kate’s dad works with water.

Jae: So…he’s a plumber?
