You could include most branches of engineering as well, not just electrical. Or at the very least certain subsets of these branches, e.g., fluid dynamicists in mechanical and aerospace engineering tend to be no different intellectually from physicists, in my experience. (Probably largely because they are basically physicists. Physics as a field has neglected classical mechanics lately, so if fluids are your interest, you won’t get a degree in physics.)
Yeah, the reason why I didn’t include engineering is that it seems that most engineers are in administrative-like roles in practice, but I’d definitely include the ones who do research and development in the reference class that I had in mind.
