This is such an unbelievably dismissive assertion, I don't even know where to start.

To suggest, nay, explicitly state:

  Engineering started out as just some dudes who built things 
  from gut feeling.

  After a whole lot of people died from poorly built things, 
  they decided to figure out how to know ahead of time if it 
  would kill people or not.
Is to demean those who made modern life possible. Say what you want about software developers and I would likely agree with much of the criticism.

Not so the premise set forth above regarding engineering professions in general.
