One design for this subject, on a Unisex Standard T-Shirt. If more appear in the same line they will show up here.
Broad enough to cover every branch of the job, which is what makes it a safe gift when you only know they are an engineer.
Trade and profession shirts are specific on purpose. Someone who says they are an engineer will not accept a near-miss title, and the closely related jobs each have their own version — that precision is the whole point of the joke.
One design for this job so far. Check the wording matches the title they actually use before buying.
Best for someone a few years into the work — long enough that the job has its own vocabulary and its own complaints. For a new starter it can read as presumptuous, and for someone who has left the trade it reads as nostalgia rather than a joke.
Civil, mechanical, electrical, software: the title is shared and the jobs are not. Engineers spend a fair amount of energy clarifying which kind they are.
The work is mostly constraints. Anyone can design the ideal version; the job is the version that fits the budget, the standard and the site.
Tolerances are where the humour lives, and it does not translate outside the room.
The wording only works when it names the exact job, so it is worth checking before you buy. Fabricator, Farmer and Firefighter each have their own page with their own designs, and there are more below.
