SleepyEngineer As a relatively recent EE graduate I have three things to say in your defense: 1) EE education is so out of touch with reality. What I mean is that it has become too abstract. There is too much emphasis on theory, and the link of how it pertains to a physical system is...

bvanhiel GregLocock HVAC68 especially and to all on this post thanks!, I let the issue sit a while, and followed the volunteer route. It has already paid off and I've gotten noticed. I think it will be better to wait on the issue until review time, but I will continue with the proactive...

I am working in the MEP field as an engineer. I see some improvements that can be made within the company that I could impliment, especially since I have a much more diverse backgroung that most of the others on my team (who are brilliant specialists) My real concern is that I do not burn any...

I am curious to know, what have you found to be the best marketing method. (Direct advirtising, tangential activities like writing papers, word of mouth? etc) [witch][pumpkin][vampire]PSHappy Holloween!

http://www.esdjournal.com/ Site with information on static and lightning fires. And a site for overvoltage protection consultant/attorney, www.rbs2.com, who specializes in lightning and surge power problems. Any technical novelty is good, possibly develop a product: protective relay, marine...

ED, Congrats on the PE first off! I noticed a good idea on this web site. Read thread784-59666 specifically Drazen's final posting might offer some good ideas. I didn't notice you post there or anything. Thread784-150171 might be a potential idea, technical documentation might be a potential...

JonnyWill 1) To manage hazards, often compartmentilization of fire areas are used to separate fire areas. For example according to ICC codes, desinging a building with a fire wall(structural continuous, parapet, 18" above roof,etc.) will separate the structure into two different buildings, so...

I posted this question on another web page,( nspe) This is a response I got from NSPE's General Counsel. I thought it might be interesting. With reference to your question, the publication and sale of an article, text, treatise, report, etc., does not generally constitute the "practice of...

Hello fellow eng-tips users: Is the sale of independent technical research and reports a violation of acting as a professional engineer in a given state in the US (or I guess from country to country as well)? If an engineer is licensed in one state, and does independent analysis for sale...

I think this is a good post. General question/comment: Once you have your CAD, databases, software, and general engineering process down, wouldn't you see billable hors as a blessing? If you're more efficient than your competition then I would think you're ahead. To make other streams of...

Horowitz and Hill's book is also very good, especially if you get the labbook .

Is Hungry in the EU yet? I know for EU member nations, there is an european license that allows for international euro-member licensure.(EuIng or something like that) It may apply for associate members. I think ICC based codes are needed. Of course checking with local fire officials for code...

I feel for you! I am also an EE in electronics. It took me three years to find work. Here is what I did: 1) I went back for my MSEE, and I couldn't get accepted with my GPA. So I registered as a student at large, wich is status of being a student just taking courses. You're allowed to take 12...

I have to agree on moltenmetal's comment IP theft is a key issue. The biggest problem is the affect on smaller and mid-sized engineering and manufacturing firms who do not have the financial means to defend their IP. Even if they did the US federal government seems to care more about Chinese...

Wes616: How's the move and career transition? How are things working out? I hope everything is going well!

Does fire protection have to extend up from the drywall, completely covering the gaps between the roofing deck and interior wall. Which NFPA code covers this? Thanks in advance.

Congrats! Becareful what you wish for, look at the full package: The company's finances, where you have potential to grow and learn, which one fits you as a person, etc.

PatrickR: The society of professional engineers has a on-line forum ,similar to this one, specifically for licensure issues. www.nspe.org.In addition, the state of Wisconsin has some of the most explicit descriptions of what constitues qualifying experience. It might make a good guide to give an...

Hi Kinnes; I took a course at a local community college. Actually I took two semesters of PLC courses. I was in my MSEE part time and could not find work at all. The community college where I was at had a great lab. I got to learn PLC work hands on, networked and learned a ton from other...
