Here's another way to tell whether someone's an engineer: ask them what the square root of -1 is.

If they're not an engineer, they'll either give you a blank look, or tell you that the answer is i.

Engineers will tell you that it is j.
(We don't use i for square root of -1 because it could be confused with I as in electrical current.)
