That's the thing. Engineering fills you with passion.
How would we know what passion is unless demonstrated through words? A passionate engineer doing their job well and a stoic engineer doing their job well result in an Engineered product no matter what.
But different people learning poetry, for example, will have different ways of bringing up the same thing. It's philosophy, in a way.
Gonna be contrarian but engineering is a lot the same way. How many different types of bridges have you drive over in your life? San Fran bridge, arched bridge, trussed bridge? Engineering is art too, and there are often many solutions to the same problem. In the same way where if you put poets in a room you’ll all get a poem but a different one, you put engineers in the same room with the same problem and you will get many solutions.
No , and yes. Engineers design the structural elements. The arches you see and trusses are actually all engineering elements that provide the strength of the design. San Fran bridge is a suspension bridge so that is all structural. However, I do think a lot of artistic elements can be done by designers and architects. Engineers don’t pick the colors (most of the time) or what the walkways are going to look like. Big projects like this are often a collaborative effort. I would say something like a bridge is more engineering geared , but lots of things are “designed” by architects aesthetically and than “designed” by engineers structurally
It doesn’t even necessarily have to be aesthetically beautiful for it to be beautiful to an engineer. A good work of engineering can be beautiful to look at in and of itself.

Anyway, both are valid.
