I vote no.

We receive electrical specifications from German machine builders that list 2 different KW requirements (German & English). Is this because of 50hz vs 60hz?

Thanks guys. To appease your interest (or possibly disappoint) the equipment is a wide belt sanding line. QA will be there to judge final sanded appearance, as well as evaluate the entire machine/parameters. Engineering and science blend with aesthetics in the furniture biz. Kinda neat, but...

We have purchased some machinery from an overseas manufacturer, and in the next few weeks they will assemble it for run trials prior to placing it into shipping containers. We will be sending an engineer and a member of QA to observe the trials. Given that we have already selected the given...

So it's common to have to partial pay for your benefits? I've been at this company since graduating 2.5 years ago, and haven't paid a penny for benefits. Medical, dental vision included. Looking at some of the figures, a prospective employeer would have to offer me a 20% raise just to get me...

I'll tip the garbage man with a 30-pack of frosty deliciousness if I throw away something extra-ordinarily large or heavy. Only seems right.

You need to to determine the swell/shrink of each board due to moisture content, and design the deck such that this can occur. The listed value for Teak wood swelling parallel to the grain is 2.2% of the green dimension, and perpendicular to the grain 4.0%, and these values suggest that Teak is...

As long as the program is accredited, you won't have a licensure problem with either direction. Given your field experience, you seem like a hands-on guy, and I'd recommend the MET route. As I see in the previous posts, you may face a "stigma" issue with employeers. None of the folks I went...

Mint Julep, Curious...why is it foolish to use a lock washer?

About as young as I can remember, I was writing DOS code to make my friend's Commodore 64 run the game Double Dragon and Spy Hunter. Then came the Nintendo. Ten yard fight, Excitebike, and Duck Hunt were staples. I was born the last year the Steelers won the Superbowl...guess that puts me on...

Flyhi, A lot of engineering centers around pushing a pencil. Don't get discouraged. I'd imagine a testing position would put you in a better spot for what you're looking to do. (Although much report writing, documenting findings,etc.) It sounds like you're getting good face time with your...

If you can count 2% of salary per year, I have one too.

Explosives Demolition Heavy Equipment Construction If you can't build it, break it.

Do you think there's any reference to Walmart in that jingle? Good stuff. I'm still laughing.

The company I'm at is pushing towards six-sigma, with greenbelt training on deck. The CQA, (auditor)CQE, and CRE are all pushed to get more acronyms in house. I'm thinking of taking the CRE. (reliability engineer) Do they use these in auto or aero?

My degree is B.S. Applied Science My major: Mechanical Engineering Technology ABET accredited University Do I consider myself an engineer - yes Can I sit for the FE/PE - yes

I'd definitely look around. I consider benefits to be a baseline, not something to be negotiated.

So what is the answer when you're sitting in front of the interviewer, and he says "what is your compensation at your current position?" -"We'll discuss salary if I'm offered the position" only defers the point in time when you answer.

Buzzp, I am a graduate of an MET program, and feel no disadvantage to "real" mechanical degrees. Our math courses were indeed distilled, but only by eliminating the heavily theoretical. I've found this to be a marketable advantage in the job place, as the courses I've had were very practical...
