Unfortunately, this similarity often leads to misunderstandings, as it is believed that the two qualifications are essentially the same, regardless of the country … Continue reading Engineer ≠ Ingegnere

The engineers’ anthropological ranking

Mathematicians Physicists Engineers Everybody else Engineers see humanity this way.

We have a DRIN — Part I

Caveat: To contextualize this post, please take into account that in my opinion this is the role played by politics in modern society. I have never been active in politics.
