Many of my clients, over the years, have been engineers and manufacturing people, and I enjoy working with them for just the reasons you mention. I also find that they may be skeptical at first, but if they see something work they are solid supporters. In the case I mentioned, one of the principals was a "numbers guy," retired naval officer, very uneasy that OS would not have enough command and control to suit him. An hour or so into the event he looked around, saw what was happening, and was truly won over. That is always a little piece of magic.
