    Which sub-discipline in mechanical to pursue?

    My advice, for HVAC and Fire Protection get experience and your PE rather than a Master's degree. I do not see how going deeper into working with the Darcy Weisbach equation will give you experience in design. My 2 cents, MPE engineer, JPR

    Public restroom Exhaust-Fresh air?

    texanman: If you mean, will you provide supply air along with exhaust, then the room should be negative (actually it should always be negative). The air that you pull out can come from adajacent rooms (not 100% OA), but keep in mind the effect this will have in adajcent systems too (S=R+OA)...

    No FE

    cedarbluffranch and RRR04: Be careful about the FE and PE requirements, check your state's rules.

    Gifts by clients

    A few weeks ago I was contacted by a client who had a code issue. His construction renovation was stopped by a code official and he needed State approved drawings YESTERDAY (no difference there), because they had a refinancing closing deadline coming soon. Ths was a BIG deal to them. After more...

    Question about your (life) partner

    I am a Mech. Engineer. My wife is in the healthcare field. I married her because I love her and obvioulsy not because of her profession. However, working on health care buildings design myself, it is interesting to talk to her about medical gases systems, emergency power, etc. There are things...
