So is it reasonable to expect someone practicing as an engineer (any discipline) to have a working understanding of Fermi estimation?

Yes, but I actually had to look that up to know what you were asking.

Yeah, the term is less important than the concept.
Discussion on Facebook and Twitter... well... at least one engineering professor says he tries and mostly fails to teach his students such things. I think it's mostly the college dropouts and self-taught people who said "that's essential for double-checking the premises of any process" and the engineers who seem to be in the "I put the numbers into the spreadsheet, I get the numbers out, why would I need to check that?"
