Wife is in a completely different field, teaching. No chance for double-hiring there. I'm leaning towards staying in town, or at least within a reasonable driving distance (say 5-6 hours). I appreciate all the advice.
Happy holidays everyone. I have a situation I’m hoping you all can offer some advice on. The situation seems similar to a recent post or two, but I felt it was different enough to make a new post. I work for an international company in the Midwest area. Details aside, my location is closing...
@telecomguy: There are a lot of tech savvy people at my place but I'm sure they have better things to do than scour the internet. I never said I was trying to hide anything; I had some thoughts and I simply wanted advice. Others have brought up a good point about the ethical nature of my...
I was working 50-60 hours a week (mandatory overtime with weekends). After working four full weeks straight, I put my foot down and said 'enough.' I come in at 8 and leave at 5. I am willing to come in for emergency situations (equipment failure for example), but that is it. Things got to the...
Hello all,
I've been with my current employer for a little over 5 years, first job after undergrad. I've started taking classes towards a general engineering masters through what I feel is a decent, accredited online program (NCSU). My employer reimburses me for classes, with the stipulation...
I'm on the pharmaceutical side, and the goal with our plastics is chemical inertness (doesn't leach anything into drug) and low particle generation. My guess would be medical grade plastic focuses on biological inertness.
My undergrad was at Maruqette, but I'm not in Milwaukee anymore, I'm in Cleveland. I have been working the last three years, at a pharmaceutical company. My employer has reimbursement, but it's limited ($5250/year) and I would still come out owing $20k. I think I'll heed the advice and focus on...
I have a B.S. in Biomedical Eng. that left me with $20k in loans. BME is not a standard engineering discipline (i.e. mechanical, electrical, civil, etc.) We were never pushed to take the FE. I'm not even sure if BMEs go for their PE. I've been out of school almost three years and tested the...
I have to burst your Waterloo co-op bubble. Waterloo did not invent the engineering co-op.
The University of Cincinnati in Ohio did in 1906.

Maybe they were the first to bring it to Canada?
I just registered for a course through USC Viterbi via their distance learning program. $5600/4-credit course. My employee only pays $5,250 a year. The whole degree will set me back $25k.
That is hard to stomach.
The mediocre school (U. of Akron) would cost me almost nothing. It's only...
Webometrics...
Bogus.
I am hoping this site is a joke. The rankings are based on:
1) who has the most hits in search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.)
2)the number and type and size of files you can find on their websites
3) the number of references in papers and publications in Google Scholar...
