I also highly recommend buying the Lindeburg book, and then working all the way through the book.
I took the test after being out of school 10 years, but had been working as an engineer. I bought the Michael Lindeburg study books. Studied every morning before work for a few months. Worked...
It sounds like there are not any good alternatives that save time and still give good results. I'll stick with the anodizing. Thanks everyone.

I get aluminum parts made and usually have them anodized for appearance and scratch resistance. The problem is that it usually adds a couple of days to deliveries.
Is there a low cost alternative to anodizing that can be done in-house by dipping or brushing? Something that does not require...
I think we are all on the same page and this is understood; the discussion is only regarding legal and ethical ways to use the software. We all know that there are unethical ways to go about using any software.
Between the answers here and from my local SW reseller, I have enough information...
Does SolidWorks lease or rent licenses for short term, such as a few months? or are there other companies that lease a floating license. I use another 3D CAD program for most work, but have one possible customer for a short term project and need to deliver files as native SW assemblies, parts...
My company registered in CCR a few years ago, without doing any marketing to the gov't, and of course without any new work from it. Now looking into getting a GSA schedule. It seems like a LOT of red tape.
Has anyone here been through the process? If so, could you tell us about it? Is it...

Question: in the HVAC/R field, typically what do the deliverables from engineering companies look like? Please be as specific as you can.
For example, in my role as a mechanical engineer, I mostly do special machinery and product design for manufacturers. Most of the time the deliverables...
VC66,
Could you post an example script that you use to get the 40% success? It would be very useful to some of us to learn. I recently had a discussion with a friend of mine that works in sales and marketing for a company that performs an industrial service. He is able to get an appointment...
Most of my customers have either found me or are referraled to me by others. Be "findable" when people are searching for your services, so have a website, get listed in directories, participate in any networking you can, attend trade shows and talk to people, echange business cards, let everyone...
Reinforcing what a few others have stated here, I've heard the saying that E&O insurance is a "lightening rod for lawsuits" and that if you don't have it, and if the company does not have significant assets, which my company does not, the attorney's will not bother going after you. They have...
As you stated, most are just thrown away. I suggest paying a visit to several of your local machine shops, and ask if they can help you collect these items, and get a tour of their shop at the same time. Some shops are not very quick to clean up, and may have lots of broken items around...
I use a JVCGant Pro, and it works very well for me.
It came packaged with Mindmanager, which I use for brainstorming, estimating a BOM, and a variety of other tasks.
