I don't know if you were just clarifying (thanks if so) or disagreeing. I hope ME is scientific enough for you. A college roommate was an ME major. He barely graduated due to enjoying his college years immensely, and literally went to work as a rocket scientist. His first job was designing rocket missile systems for Hughes Aviation. The work was so classified he never could tell me exactly what it was.
