    Structural Testing Textbook?

    Hey guys, Does anyone know of a good textbook for aerospace structural testing? I found "Handbook on Structural Testing" by Robert T. Reese (Editor), Wendell A. Kawahara (Editor) which covers all fields (civil, electrical, aerospace, etc). It doesn't seem to have any reviews though. Does...

    Does this count as OEM experience?

    I am trying to get my PE but this isn't for that. It's actually for a job I'm applying to but before I can submit my resume, they ask some preliminary questions. One of them is whether I have 5 years OEM and/or MRO experience. I have 3.5 years of MRO experience, but if I can include my...

    Let me just add that the boss who chose her regretted doing so since he thought she would stick around longer...He kept sharing his story years after it happened, that's the only way I know about it.

They weren't respected in the company I...

    Have you ever considered becoming a high school teacher?

    I have a friend who went from studying engineering to becoming a Montessori school teacher. Apparently, they are always looking for people with a science or engineering background not only to teach but to also help develop practical experiments and/or projects for the students. She got hired...

    Thinking Like an Engineer

    Thanks a lot guys for all the helpful responses and suggestions! @Ron - You're right about those that don't have the confidence to present themselves are the ones stuck with the repetitive and mundane jobs. I guess that's exactly what happened to me. I thought by being able to finish X...

    Thinking Like an Engineer
