I work with LNG bulk tanks and most of are engineers are ME's. You might want to study/research pressure vessels and heat exchangers as a primer to working with LNG. Now if you are interested in LNG and not so much the storage and distribution, I would think ChemE or even Petroleum might be a...
Thanks for all the input.
Sreid - O-rings are not an option because the plates contain a complex pattern with grooves that need to be separated.
Some additional information - the Aluminum plates are 6061. The Viton gasket is 1/16 thick. 12 of the 10-24 bolts are equally spaced on a 7 in...
I have a question regarding a calculation for finding the fastener torque required (in ft-lbs) to seal a gasket between two plates. More specifically, I am using 18 10-24 threaded bolts to hold two 1/2" aluminum plates together with a viton gasket in between. The diameter of the plates is 8 in...
Hi,
This is one of my first design calculations in the workforce and I wanted to ask a couple of questions to hopefully jog my memory on Statics/Strengths and make sure I am on the right path.
I've attached an example of a problem I am working on where we have a scissor lift that will have 10"...
Thanks everyone for their insight. My family is absolutely top priority and weighing how they would adjust to a move is one of my concerns. With that said, my wife has stated she supports my move if it is the better job/opportunity and my son is an infant so we thankfully don't have to worry...
Question for the board
I have potentially two offers that may come through and am trying to decide which one is the better opportunity. I respect the opinions of others and am seeking advice based on experiences and to help weigh pros/cons.
I have two very strong possibilities that are polar...
I have a general question about transitioning back into engineering and how I should tailor my resume.
Ten years ago I graduated with an Industrial degree but went into the business/software world afterwards. In a desire to do something different and get back into engineering, I have begun...
Thanks everybody for their feedback.
I wanted to ask whether or not I would be limiting myself by only getting the BSMET as opposed to the BSME degree. The institution I will be attending has a well known BSMET program that is ABET accredited. They just began an engineering program which...
Hi -
I have a question here for the board. Ten years ago I received my Bachelors degree in Industrial Manufacturing and Systems Engineering. Due to economic conditions at the time, I took a job as an analyst and before too long, realized that my career veered down the business path.
I am...
StructuralEIT,
Thanks for your post. As I do more research on this, many CE firms that I have spoken to echo the same thing you mentioned saying they prefer the CET's over the CE's because of their knowledge in application. A handful of CE firms here in Atlanta have spoken highly about the...
Jgailla -
Thanks for the insight. Actually in 35 states I believe CET's are eligible to sit for the EIT exam and also the PE years later. I think they may have to take an additional year between the two exams. In the other states that don't allow CET's to sit for the PE, they are able to do...
I have a two fold question here. I am strongly considering pursuing a second bachelors degree in Civil Engineering in addition to the BS I have already in IE. I find that Civil Engineering attracts me more with the variety of tasks and nature of work.
I live in Atlanta and it looks like I...
Hi Everyone,
I am seeking advice from the community about how I may transition back into Industrial Engineering. I graduated with my Industrial Manufacturing & Systems Engineering degree from Ohio University in 2002 but found it extremely difficult finding a job in a depressed manufacturing...
