I am based in the UK, but currently work in a small company in a Rural location, and I must say that I can feel the pain. Both as someone who has been in the position of having to interview engineers with zero training and very little notice, and as someone who has had very little training and...
Sounds fair. I am very happy not to be a manger, and have no desire to inflate my title, just questioning my own thoughts out loud.
Sounds like both "Senior Engineer" or "Principal Engineer" are reasonably acceptable and suitably understood, in the UK and further afield.
Thanks all.
Sounds like my last big company which was a UK owned multi-national, which was "Engineer", "Senior Engineer", "Principal Engineer", then typically "Design Manager/Engineering Manager" , "Chief Engineer/Engineering Manger" with the later grades varying much more between business units depending...
Certainly within the UK Loughborough has an excellent reputation within industry and engineering circles. It is a top-notch engineering university which prides its self in preparing students for the work place, both academically and practically.
I have less knowledge of ICL as I ruled out...
I currently work as the most senior engineer in a small OEM company. What would be an appropriate title for the role?
When I started I was the sole engineer, taking over from the 'Technical Director' who has sold back his shares and retired, I now have two engineers working under me as the...
How does that fit into calculating the above stress levels then? Given its short, and not highly critical, I expect as long as its well away from yield when placed/dropped onto the rails (say 2-4 g ?) deflection should not be an issue.
We use fairly high grade cold-reduced steel shaft for the...
Struggling to get anywhere fast with this textbook, Hibbeler Statics and Mechanics 800 pages, going right back to basics but not very good or clear for dipping into.
Stress (σ) = M y / I
Where M is the bending moment
y is the distance, with peak stress being in the middle, so y = d/2
I...
Makes sense. Centre is fixed, then there is a point support and point load (two opposing forces differing distances from the fixed point) in the bearing and wheel.
I am sure this is the case, I was just struggling to find much solid online and wondered if this site could help. I'll have to dig...
I need to determine the size and steel grade of axle needed to given a certain load capacity.
- The axle is supported by a pair of self-aligning bearings near the ends, with the wheel beyond that.
- Currently the axle is 25 dia (1") and the centre of the wheel is 50mm beyond the centre of the...
I have just moved from NX8 to SolidEdge ST8 and am trying to get my 3d connection 'space navigator' to work as I would expect.
Reading the two threads below understand there is a way to set an automatic rotation point based on what's on screen, as per NX, however I cant seem to find this? I at...
