You can get a bit of an idea by looking at User Group membership.

Mech. eng. is biggest, with 79 members; electrical next with 61.

As a corollary, would be interesting to know the most common professions of the non-engineers here. I'm a writer. and part-time underground cleric.

'Underground'? As in, you are a fan of Lou Reed, or as in you don't want anyone to know, or as in you do your preachifying in the catacombs?

I wish I'd known you fifty years ago. I was a clerk-typist in the storied 444th Underground Mess Kit Repair Battalion and we had no Chaplain. An underground cleric would have been perfect!
