If I ask you to imagine a person whom you would covet with the title 'The Mother of all Engineers', what attributes do you think that person should have?
--know computers and mobile operations
--have logical thinking
--communication
--ability to foresee any event
--organise and plan
--estimate and negotiate
--questions and gets to the root
Above mentioned were generic. And expected from any engineer. But for the title to hold good, more attributes are needed.
--ability to judge based on size, location, dimensions-- Mix of Architect n Civil (engg)
--quick fixes to any wiring-- Electrical n electronic engg
--easy with fuzzy logic--what if washing machine breaks down?
--knows about machines and usage and quick fixes -- mech engg
--hands on hammer, screwdriver, driller
So the key ingredients from major streams.
Do you think missed out IT? Anyone knowing computers is an IT engg. I'm one myself;)
Oh this title in addition requires one more attribute... A good IQ and General Knowledge(it's in dearth these days).
Now put together all the above and think of whom you can attribute this title to??
Think think.... You don't have to get too far.
If you ask me...Mothers!
Yes they are literally the Mother of all engineers.
Not kidding. Re-read and map the attributes.
I can bet you will be able to add a few more.
Note: I have seen my mother-in-law confidently opening the washing machine and working with the wires. It's then that I used this term for her..
'Mother of all Engineers'.
