Gee's final aspect of "Discourse" is believing which plays a big role in the way that mechanical engineers think, act, and feel. In the professional discourse of mechanical engineering they are expected to have their own beliefs that drive them to do what they do each and everyday but they are also expected to hold beliefs that are in line with those of the company they are working for. This is so that they are all on the same page and do not have conflicts due to things like beliefs.
Although most may think that the main reason why individuals join the discourse of mechanical engineering to make money that is not the real reason why most do. Yes the money is always a good thing especially after all the hard work that these individuals have put forth to get to where they are but mechanical engineers believe in trying to make the world a better place through their advancements and innovations.
They also join the discourse for other reasons ranging from believing in themselves and their abilities to more complex reasons such as believing in a certain company for what they are doing. They believe in all sorts of things but overall it is their beliefs that keep them going and push them to do what they do each and every day to better the lives of everyone on this earth.
