[Basic] Skill of the week: Engineer

Don't confuse "engineer" the profession with Engineer the skill. The GURPS skill Engineer is not "that which an engineer does"; it's the skill of designing things, divorced from all the other things that designers do. That's another header from How to Be a GURPS GM: Managing Expectations that applies here: "Read Rules, Not Titles."
