I'd be interested in a response to this.
I'm a MechE. From what I've heard/seen of pressure vessels, the welds are coated in a citric acid paste for the pickling. Not sure if that is done on the seamed pipe, or if ALL of the pipe surface gets hit with that.
I've worked for small companies with a lot of learned engineers the last 8 years. I work for a small company now that has an engineering team, but it's very loosely ran. We do more meatball engineering, try quick solutions to customer problems, as opposed to detailed, defined packages that work...
bigtomhanks, lol. That'd be really bad for the OP.
Like the others said. Start looking discreetly. Don't even tell your friends at your current job. People talk. They always talk. People also hear things.
Leaving your job right now is like going to prison in some ways. Don't stare at...
Think of it this way. You did the work, and put your name on it today. 6 months from now, when that project is completed... no one is going to know you did it anyway.
Living here in the Midwest, I don't know the names of guys that designed the HVAC at the Empire State Building, or the...
fegenbush, you make a good point. They are a good reference. But for now, since I don't do this kind of work all the time, I think the older versions are sufficient. The work I'll be doing in the next 2 years, it might be safer for me to not have a PE, so I can act only as an owner's...
Does anyone have the 10th edition Mechanical Engineer Reference Manual by Lindeburg? I'm looking to buy it.
I spent $45 on Amazon the other day to buy some of the old resources to begin studying for the PE test. October is the first time I am eligible. Not sure yet, if I will take it, or will...
Like the others said, a cover letter is a personal note.
You write 2 versions. 1 is a generic version that can be passed around with your resume at job fairs/conferences/job posting sites.
The 2nd version, you constantly update and give to companies...where you talk about what they do, and...
Bradpa, I'm an engineer now, and I'd like to shift to the management track as I move on with my career. To higher level work, and let others figure out the details. I'm at 5 years now, by the time I'm at 15, I don't want to be pulling out bulk density tables and doing those basic calculations...
KENAT, I agree with you... you will do it?
As Bruce Willis said...
In Live Free or Die Hard: "Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. Pat on the back, blah blah blah. That a boy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, kids don't want to talk...
True, there is a way. But look at how the badge engineering has screwed Ford and Chevy. Why would I buy a Lincoln sedan when I can get the same physical car/shape in a Ford Fusion? Or similar issues in GM.
Consumers don't like it, and it took the industry failing here for that to get a little...
Do your job. Don't sign/seal the documents until the other stuff is taken care of for insurance.
When they stop paying you, you stop working. Until then, act like a professional, because you are one.
If they mine our information and give it to employers, or let it be used against us for employment.. even stupid people will start leaving Facebook.... thus causing Facebook to lose ad revenue.
