<p>Which buildings are you thinking of? I don’t know of one that was designed by an engineer without a formal education.</p>
<p>Homer Gage Balcom - Civil engineering at Cornell University
- Empire State Building
- Waldorf Astoria Hotel
- GE Building</p>
<p>John Roebling - Architecture, engineering at Bauakademie in Berlin
- Brooklyn Bridge</p>
<p>Gunvald Aus - Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Technical University of Munich
- Woolworth Building</p>
<p>George B. Post - Civil engineering from NYU
- The former New York World building</p>
<p>Are you implying that you don’t believe it’s necessary to have a formal education in order to be an engineer, especially one that designs buildings? I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near a skyscraper designed by somebody like that, let alone step foot in it.</p>
