    Do Working Engineers Run Engineering Associations?

    I read an interesting comment/lament recently. It seems that the actor's union is mostly run by ex-actors or actors that don't work anymore. Furthermore (and this is the interesting part), the majority of the union is also made up of ex-actors and actors that do not work regularly (ie. think not...

    What is the sound of $98/bbl oil rushing upwards? Nothing.

    Is it just me, or does there seem to be a definite lack of outcry from people? Also, it seems like the Feds either haven't noticed, or doesn't want to say anything about the sudden rise in crude oil prices? Remember the last time oil prices "zoomed" to over $80 a barrel and Bush started to...

    Why should someone mentor?

    It has been suggested in many posts that new and inexperienced people need to go find a mentor. That is true, and good advise. I agree with this whole heartily. On the other foot, why should I take on a mentoring role? Especially if my company does not have a mentorship program, and my time and...

    We still have a LOT of oil.

    It seems that not everyone believes we have a shortage of oil. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15715744/ "Do not worry about your problems with mathematics, I assure you mine are far greater." Albert Einstein Have you read FAQ731-376 to make the best use of Eng-Tips Forums?

    Inventions You Would Like To See - In Your Lifetime

    Some of my colleagues can cite chapter and subsection from the ASME code. I am lucky if I spell ASME correctly all the time. I would like to see, in my life time (so I can use it) an external memory drive. And I mean that literally. I want to be able to put it near me, and have it beam me (like...

    Anyone Rebuilding Katrina's Damage?

    Well, it's been about a year since Katrina hit Louisiana and Mississippi. I was wondering how many, if any, of you have worked on a project related to rebuilding the damage caused by Katrina, and if you would like to share what the projects were. "Do not worry about your problems with...

    You Know You're Old/Young If ...

    I have been reading various comments in the fora which seems to date the poster as "old" or "young" sometimes. I though maybe there is sufficient interest to compile a list to help the old identify with the young, and the young to identify with the old. If you are in between, I guess pick a...

    Rate of Change Alarm on Automated Movement

    One of the pieces of news that came out of Buncefield explosion was that the level indicator was stuck during the movement (filling task). This was of course in addition to the HHLL switch not working. I would expect that there should have also been a rate of change alarm (in this case, lack of...

    Alternative to Steam-out?

    To my mechanical colleagues: I have read many posts in many fora that highlight the problems encountered with steam-out of a tank - primarily, sucking/imploding the tank in on pressure loss due to rapid cooling combined with insufficient vent capacity. Is the alternative a pressure wash? What...

    Definition of an Engineer

    I recently brought my little ones to my office, to see where I work. They have only seen me "colour" my drawing, and working on my computer at home, and seem to think that engineering consists of: 1) drinking a lot of coffee (yes, I am cutting back) 2) colouring (I do a lot of back checking and...

    Safety System vs. Hardwire / Human Intervention

    Hello Everyone: In a previous posting, there was some discussion on the the hierarchy of computer vs. human as the ultimate decision maker in a safety system. From some of the responses, there seems to be passionate advocates on this issue. So, I thought I would start a new post on this...

    ROL - Ring O Lette
