I have met engineers who resemble the stereotype, but the best engineers I know have a healthy balance of both left-brained technical smarts and right-brained creativity. My own brain scan is included above (Figure 4) for your reference.
I created the first Right Brain cartoon for the inaugural edition of Wright Engineers' monthly news in February 1999. Each issue since featured an industry-related cartoon . Twenty-five years earlier, a much younger "Right Brain-In-Training" began his career sketching Mad Magazine-inspired cartoon athletes (below) and building huts of scraps from his father's construction sites (bottom).
