    Ethics question about a PE putting unsubstantiated opinions in emails to my clients

    Just got a response from him. The only example he provided was on a job my company had nothing to do with. The client purchased used equipment that wasn't even designed for the space. So irritating to get your reputation tarnished when it's not even your equipment

    Ethics question about a PE putting unsubstantiated opinions in emails to my clients

    Thanks guys. The thing is, it's likely he's getting kickbacks from our competitor. I thought it was more obvious and didn't want to sway opinions before getting responses. That's on me I probably should have mentioned it. Out in the open they are constantly wining and dining engineers. Taking...

    Ethics question about a PE putting unsubstantiated opinions in emails to my clients

    Thank you guys for the input. Good to have 3rd party neutral opinions to help when it can feel personal. When brining up ethics, I was talking about for a PE, since they are held to a higher standard, specifically note 5 from our state's rulebook. Wondering if this is worthy of submitting a...

    Best way to find structural engineer for small project?

    I'm an ME completely out of my lane here and looking to hire someone to design a foundation (piers w/ floating slab) for a 30x60 red iron shop I'm having built. I have reached out to 5 local firms but struck out each time (too busy, not their wheelhouse, etc). I'm still waiting on 3 or 4 more...

    Lifespan of lithium grease for seal lubrication.

    I'm designing a watertight pushbutton. It has 2 pieces of machined stainless steel (303). One piece looks like a piston and the other is it's housing with a positive stop. For the seal, I have a neoprene washer with a beveled outside edge (to minimize friction). It is sort of like an o-ring...

    Friction fit help

    Has anyone ever had any experience with making friction fits in plastic parts? And could you offer me some advice? This is the first time I've ever designed a plastic part and I'm having problems with a friction fit. The part I'm trying to make is a push-pull stop using a micro toggle switch...
