There is a newsgroup for engineers: sci.engr.  If you have been considering
a technical posting that does not belong in your newsgroup, or if a problem
under discussion is in need of cross-disciplinary expertise, it is possible
that folks in sci.engr would be interested.  Here's the group charter:

(1) To examine engineering problems in academia and industry, and the
    approaches taken in solving them;
(2) To discuss tools used by the engineer (e.g. software, mechanisms,
    algorithms, strategies, etc.);
(3) To exchange information relevant to the accomplishment of engineering
    tasks.

And here are a couple of potential side benefits:

(1) A place to establish traffic, leading, if possible, to an engineering
    hierarchy someday (sci.engr.chem has already been spawned);
(2) A clearing-house of disciplinary experience that can be applied in 
    other sci groups.

Graham's [ahem!] Law: The relative rates of diffusion of gases under the 
same conditions are inversely proportional to the square roots of the
densities of those gases.

And don't you forget it ;-)!
