This is really nothing more than a stereotype. You find what you are looking for. There are entirely too many engineers in the world for a generalization like this to be accurate.

For a generalization to be accurate it doesn't need to apply to everybody in a group, just to a larger percentage of people in the group than in the general population.
It doesn't also need to apply absolutely to each one of the group that it does apply: it just needs to apply more than it does to an average person in the general population.
Generalizations are not laws of nature.
