A play on words. An engineer that doesn't have a degree.Dr.D said:
O.P. meant using the correct spelling "Feral". One might guess that a Ferrell engineer would have some involvement either with Iron, or rail-ways, or rail-cars. Checking any dictionary entry for "Ferrell" might be a good idea here.Dr.D said:
Yep. I should have used the current trend of RaNdoMLy CapItALiZINg LeTters to show it was in jest ;)symbolipoint said:
All engineering was feral before cultivated education was established to teach and train people to become engineers. "Feral" is a possibly good description for certain what I might say are, crafty naturally skillful people.John Archer said:
A Feral Engineer is a type of engineer who has not received formal education or training in engineering, but has acquired skills and knowledge through self-learning and hands-on experience.
The main difference is in their education and training. Traditional engineers have completed a degree program in engineering, while Feral Engineers have acquired their skills through self-teaching and practical experience.
Not necessarily. Feral Engineers may not have a formal degree, but they often have a strong understanding of engineering principles and practical skills that they have gained through experience. They may also have a unique perspective and problem-solving approach.
Yes, they can. Feral Engineers may have a different background, but they can still work in the same industries and perform similar tasks as traditional engineers. They may even bring a fresh perspective and innovative ideas to the table.
One advantage is the hands-on experience and practical knowledge they have gained, which can be valuable in problem-solving and finding creative solutions. They may also have a unique and diverse skill set, making them adaptable to various industries and projects.
