I have heard these stories a lot regarding engineer's superiority complex, but have never witnessed an engineer talking down to or belittling a non-engineer. I know there is the whole "I took 16 classes last year" one-upmanship, but after university I haven't observed that.

The only time I heard something resembling this was in university when a prof. told our lab class that "you need to better understand why our experiments didn't work, and use our brains to determine the next course of action, otherwise we were no better than some technician randomly trying different components until things worked."
