How many engineers do we have here?

[skybolt]

I wonder if we even come close to outnumbering the lawyers on these boards.

 

For starters, what school did you graduate from, and what is your field of expertise?

 

I graduated from the University of Illinioise at Chicago in 1994, and I'm a Civil/Hydraulics Engineer.

My guess is the lawyer:engineer ratio is 2:1

 

Myself: University of new Haven

 

Civil

 

 

(In fact, studying for PE exam right now )

[blutobc]

Tennessee Tech '86

 

Civil/Environmental

 

and if anyone wants to mess with the pocket-protector brigrade.....just remember whose watching over your water supply right now. We control the horizontal, the vertical, etc. even the damn "dams".

I passed mine a few years ago. If you're taking the water resources exam, make sure to study plenty of environmental engineering. Most questions will deal with both hydraulics and environmental issues. Plus, make sure to take the latest Lindeberg edition book (I believe the 9th) with you to the exam. It's a lot of help if you're trying to find sample examples or formulas.

One of the things I like about engineering is that you don't have to deal with the general public on an every day basis. Of course, they make up for it when you hold a public hearing to discuss the project improvements. They'll wait until your hungry and tired and then start complaining about increased traffic and noise, closing ramps, flooding, higher taxes, fair amount of work for the community, etc. At the end of the day you feel like a vegetable. Then, you have to go back to the office and change you're whole design again.

Thanks for the advice!

 

I do have the latest Lindebrg (it is the 9th) right by my side at the moment - where it's been for the past month -

 

I will be taking the structural depth exam in the PM, though.

two and a half months to go......

Good luck.

 

Structural!! Oh no, don't tell me you have the SE exam to look forward to.

Chalk one more up for the engineers.

 

University of Colorado, Boulder

Maybe you should start a poll. Maybe the engineers and lawyers could vote, once each to see where we stand.

 

Of course you know the lawyers will vote from work as well, and maybe from their girlfriends high end apartment, and then again from their wife's computer and maybe even the kids.

I'm also looking to hire another civil/structural engineer (EIT or newer P.E), so anyone that is interested in living in alaska and making a decent salary, go ahead and pm me.

 

I'm a hard arse to work for, but we could trade old comics during lunch.......kidding.

 

Not about the job........

[skybolt]

Plus, for some odd reason Engineers like good girl art.

[Comicdey]

How true,

 

Good Girl, Bad Girl, Girl on Girl etc.

 

But, the real question is how many of us lead "american dream" normal lives with wives and kids.

[Comicdey]

By the way skybolt, do you know where my avitar is from?

[skybolt]

Actually, I don't.

 

I definitely like it. Where did it come form?

[Comicdey]

I'll give hints.

 

It's not pictured in the Gerber, but the title is.

 

It's not an expensive comic.

 

I'd shout it out to you, but then I'd have to kill you.

 

Does that ring any Belle's?

 

(4 hints should be more than enough to figure it out)

Since I'm stumped, I'll let someone else figure it out.

 

I hate the fact that I'm still novice when it comes to most GA books.

Scream #17 with Lily Belle.

 

#16 is pictured in the Gerber.

 

We're all novices with so much good stuff out there.
