Reverted edits 6-26-2020
I reverted some recent edits with the edit summary: "restore to last version as edited by AnomieBOT at 01:53, 26 June 2020. (1) Computer Engineering is a field as described; (2) interdisciplinary engineering is real--it combines multiple fields (3) Colliers definition does not support the text. It's not the correct definition of engineering used on this page. This page is about the profession of engineering, not things like train engineers, people who make engines, etc. Discuss: [here]". --David Tornheim (talk) 10:24, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- Re your third point, i.e. my edit adding a reference to the definition of "engineer" from Collins dictionary [1]. Definition 1 on that page says "An engineer is a person who uses scientific knowledge to design, construct, and maintain engines and machines or structures such as roads, railways, and bridges."

- That was a very poor edit.
(1) Computer Engineering is a field as described;
is no justification to include Comp. Eng. in the main branches. You added Comp. Eng. when the sources do not mention it as a Main Branch. Instead of reverting to WP:HIJACK the sources of the MAIN branches which do *not* include Computer Engineering, you should have moved COMP. to other branches. As far as Interd. Eng. at least you should have moved its level up. The way you reverted it to, made it appear as if Interd. Engineering was a main branch, which it is not. I did all of that in my new edit. Be more careful when you edit any article, including this one. By the way, there were multiple big dicussions about the main branches. which can be found in the archives. I had participated in all of them and I keep this article in line with those discussions. Do not alter the main branches unilaterally. Dr. K. 15:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
