What do Engineers Do?

Last night, Christian was working on a program that Dad downloaded.  Dad said that Mr. Harris from meeting (who also is a mechanical engineer that goes to Dad’s work) had a more complex version of the program that Christian was working on.  I said “But that’s just drawing pictures!  I thought that engineers made cars and stuff!”  Dad said “How do you think they make cars?” (grooaan) I got beat on that one!  I don’t think I would make a very good mechanical engineer.  I also had a good time at swim team yesterday.  They worked us out, really, really hard but I learned a few new things and I love being in the pool.
