I saw one in the Ben Meadows catalog for $769. You'd have to buy some accesories to go along with it, but it would be under $1000. I'm sure you could rent one pretty inexpensively. You can also measure approximate turbidity with a $30 Secchi disk.

It is simple. The reason they are using turbidity is it is an easily measured surrogate parameter for tons of other things (TSS, TN, TP etc) You just need a tubidity meter and someone you pay $18/hr to stand in the stream and use it. That being said, a uniform numeric criteria for turbidity is...

Do whatever you need to do to get the PE. I have an environmental sciences degree from UVA and worked in consulting and construction for about 3.5 years until I realized that without a PE you're going nowhere fast. Decided to get an ABET acredited MS in engineering (UT-Austin) - allowed me to...

I am looking at a very similar job from a review/clean up perspective. We have an existing station at a retirement home which is sized for ultimate development which never happened. Our client bought land from the old folks home and is building an intercollegiate sports facility there. We're...

I don't think it is a big deal to put EIT on your resume after you've passed the test. I changed my e-mail signature immediately after passing the P&P exam. In fact, in Texas, the passing letters come addressed - John Smith, PE - even though you haven't yet sent in your $ and gotten your...

There is a big differnce b/t Maryland's Master's in Engineering program and getting and M.S. in engineering (which they also offer). The Master's in Engineering program is best for consulting because it consists solely of coursework (No research or thesis). The M.S. is more for people who are...

Just wondering: For civil design firms: How common is it to have non-degreed engineers titled as "Project Coordinator", "Project Manager", or "Project Engineer"? I worked in TX for a while and non-degreed folks were always drafters. Moved to MD 3.5 yrs ago. It is very common in my firm to...

Best decision I could've made...stick with it and get the PE....You can play the engineer card or you can play the scientist card - depending on the situation...

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!! HOOK 'EM HORNS!!!!

I stalked my mailman at lunch! Alas we'll wait til Thursday!! I live in Downtown B'more, my mailman said they must've mailed them out late yest....Happy 4th of July!

I agree...MD sucks.....high taxes and ineffective government workers..... Yesterday, I drove by DLLR when I was headed up Calvert St, and for a second considered going in there and causing a stink.....better judgement prevailed.....2 weeks and counting.

I can confirm this with utmost certainty. A partner in my firm is on the board, and I asked him if he would look into it. Evidently, the head of the board was replaced as he was an Ehrlich appointee - the mail out date will be 7/11/07. Sorry, to be the bearer of bad news, I am as pissed as...

Did you talk to Dorothy Matricciani? She is the woman to ask....in my experience, she's always been straight....she told me that I was approved to sit over the phone before they sent out the letters, b/c I was deciding wheter or not to take the review course and there was a sign up deadline...

I would guess the MD results will be out late this week.....based on talking to people who took it last year in the Spring.... Also check out the renewal dates on some of the late # PEs (>30000) they are mostly late June early July....

No word from Maryland yet....I never want to go back to the Timonium Fairgrounds as long as I live - fingers crossed!
