I didn't! I think on the one hand engineers get a bad rap (ala Dilbert)... on the other hand, wasn't Scott Adams an engineer before starting his comic? ;)
I wonder if some of the divide between the sciences-as-creative and the arts-as-creative comes from the associations with art-as-fluff. (I went through college being termed a fluff major for my focus in creative writing. That was mostly in good fun, considering one of the people who ribbed me was in poli-sci, and really, how did he have room to talk?) I wonder if the idea that science is Important means that we arty types have to defend our profession by claiming creativity as solely belonging to us. Interesting fodder... :)
