+
+Speaking to a mechanical engineer formerly employed by PDI
+I asked if they had any examples of PDI-specific practice
+that they had been lead to believe was industry standard.
+They said that the drafting that they were expected to perform
+was at an unhappy middle ground of detail
+between the practice they were taught in school
+would be appropriate for their skill
+and that which they associated with operations.
+
+I likened the engineer's experience to my own in estimating,
+although I came from the grunt work side of detail.
