That’s funny because I don’t see civil engineers being “glazed” much online. Usually they’re the butt of jokes and ridicule from other engineering majors who perceive civil engineering as less ‘rigorous’ than other disciplines. I’m curious where you see this civil engineering “glazing”?

They're usually held up to as the pinnacle of "real engineers" in discussions where software people are trying to portray software as insufficiently rigorous.

Yeah the other varieties of "real engineer" think of them about the same way that NPs think of MDs.
