I am glad to hear that I may be able to write a macro to do this; I was afraid I would need to develop a standalone VBasic script that wouldn't be bundled within the Excel workbook. My worksheet is a list. The list elements appear vertically in rows of the worksheet. The list elements contain...

I am trying to get Excel to automatically insert blank rows between rows of data, in proportion to the numerical difference between the value of the same field in successive rows. Any insights?

I forgot about Kimbark. I would have added this to my earlier post had I thought of it. That title, plus Stevenson, midnight oil, and elbow grease, are how I learned it!

Stevenson's "Power System Analyis" is a classic title used by many of the Power Engineering schools. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0070612935/ref=pd_ts_b//102-1096999-2565722?v=glance&s=books&n=227546

Is my interpretation of the IEC/IEEE 10/350 us and 8/20 us waveforms, as listed below, correct? If not, please set me straight! "The IEC/IEEE 10/350 us (microsecond) waveform is an approximation of the surge current waveform experienced for a primary lightning strike. The IEC/IEEE 8/20...

I concur with Rich2001. He is on target wrt historical references, and observations regarding relative parity of some of the IT technical certs. Other postings above are on target wrt relative parity of some of the core IT disciplines. (It's also why US NSPE makes the "Computer...

My thoughts on the oral exam aren't original. It used to be an option in many (most? all?) states up until the late 1980's/early 1990's. I'm unsure of the drivers behind it being done away with. It could have been something that NSPE pushed for, or something the state boards decided to do...

BS, MS, and PhD should hold exact same weight wrt qualifying for exam, and existing treatment of degreed individuals should be maintained. I, too, have rarely ever solved Calculus problems as part of my job, and those I did never required me to go beyond 1st or 2nd order diff eq's or integrals...

I need to read the article, and mull over the remaining disciplines, but I discount both Quality Engineering and Software Engineering from the list because neither area has sufficient reliance on advanced math (read: Calculus) to be comparable to EE, ME, CE, ChemEng, etc. that make up today's...

NEC is not my forte, but personal experiences like you're in the middle of, and experience with grounding qualify me to at least present a "sidewalk superintendent" view. I believe NEC requires a separately-derived ground cable to be run between the new (new main) and existing (new...

Anyone out there involved in public safety (read: volunteer fire department) that's got a leg up on the themes that OSHA is applying in this year's audits of public safety agencies? Grapevine here has "housekeeping and record keeping" as the big focus points, but would be interested...

To iou-- Which circuit analysis/simulator program do you plan to use/have at your disposal?

I agree that considering attributes of float is an interesting idea for new metrics to measure project status, but wonder if "degradation" is the best way to look at it. The word conjures up only a unidirectional image for me, I'm afraid. Over the course of the project, the float on...

Overall, it's a gray area, and as a result, likely a strong contributing factor to the current situation. The crux of the issue, for me at least, is that I look upon engineering as a profession, and as such, expect that professionals practicing in this profession should demonstrate a...

To what extent are you familiar with the Project Management Institute's "Project Management Body of Knowledge" (PMBOK)? While not a comprehensive reference on "all things project management", it does provide a world-class project management process suite. Link to it within...

I wholeheartedly agree with the "open barn door" analogy. This is one of the prime drivers behind why I posted the topic. Most certainly, one of the key personal action items should be registration/licensure. There's no question that ours is every bit as much a profession as...

Thanks for the two tips above; please keep the comments coming! I hadn't spotted the "Professional Ethics..." thread yet, but will check it out right after posting this. Interesting to hear of CCPE's plan viz MS; it will also be interesting to see what, if anything, the US NSPE does...

The tutorial behind the URL from howstuffworks.com, pasted in below ought to get you started-- www.howstuffworks.com/telephone.htm Alternately, take one apart, and by inspection note the same things.

It will cost you as much (or more) for the new ICs needed to fix the problem, as it will for a whole new radio. My advice is "bail".
