So true. While I would have no problem (and have) consulted with mech E's regarding specific mechanical qualifications required in certain applications, like sheer or torsional loading or a chemist regarding necessary chemical properties of connector, (amongst others, I support design of aviation fuel and hydraulic test equipment), in general, it would quite Unwise to allow a mechanical engineer to specify an electrical or electronic connector, simply because they're not technically qualified to make such a determination. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that except for very select situations in which the credentials of a mechanical engineer also include sound and traceable credentials in electronic and/or electrical engineering, it's of less than questionable technical merit for another engineer or manager to allow that situation to arise, bordering on general incompetence, in the same way that allowing an electrical engineer to specify a hydraulic component would border on incompetence or having a chemist design printed circuit boards.
All that soon-to-retire-ME-generation self-serving "screw-my-pop's-generation-and-like-really-who-gives-a-shit-about-the-one's-after-mine" wisdom aside that is... Your comments show your wisdom.
