An Ugnaught engineer
- "Sentient creatures can believe whatever they want—but too often they confuse their hopes and dreams with cold, hard reality. I don't have that luxury. As an engineer, I'm only concerned with what works."
- ―Kuat of Kuat
An engineer was a person involved in construction, design, or the use of engines or machines.
