Engineering



Everyone working as an engineer at one point attended a post-secondary school and studied engineering. When I was a boy, engineering students were infamous for suspending a Volkswagen Beetle from underneath the Lion's Gate Bridge. Then, at some point on the afternoon of December 6, 1989, one of them -- a man -- entered the École Polytechnique de Montréal and killed fourteen women, all but two of them engineering students.

    Marc Lepine wasn't an engineer, or an engineering student.

    I stand corrected. According to Wikipedia, he applied twice to the École and was rejected for lacking two required courses.
