Electrical dudes and dudettes ! I need help. I am working on a design of a system which includes a furnace. The furnace operates around 700°C. I would like the electrical connections to the 250W heaters to be inside the furnace (solves a whole slew of other problems). Anyone have a good lead for...

So last night my wife and I figured out that neither of us knew what the other's sign was. I knew I didn't know hers, she thought she knew mine but was wrong. So I started thinking about it a bit (I generally think of this stuff as a bunch of crap)... I wonder if we have more of one particular...

So far, I have told this story to six people, and three of them have laughed hysterically, and the other three have looked at me like this was the worst story ever told... since I am batting 500 now, I wanted to submit the story to the board for vote: gross or funny (and if you are somewhere in...

We all know an engineer or two that is a little odd. I am just curious to see if one dicipline has more odd-balls than the others. Please vote for the dicipline which you think has the kookiest individuals practicing it. (My vote is ChemE's... everyone that I have met is... well.... a bit...

Wont be out for for a couple more months. :laugh: hang in there guys...

Well... I think I managed to break my indestructable dog. And not in a good way. This is the same dog that has eaten w full wall worth of dry wall, the fiberglass insulation blanket off our water heater, and a cost co size box of oxyclean.. all with no ill effect. On Sunday I took him on a...

For the last couple years, my phone has recieved random text messages, that are clearly not meant for me. If I call or text the person sending the text, their response is always the same "Who are you? how did you get this number?" it is very odd. I have called my provider, and they basically...

michael Jackson dead! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...ml?hpid=entnews didn't see that coming, think its real?

My fiance is out of town this week (Seneca Falls NY). Since she is Muslim, she dose not eat a lot of my favorite foods (specifically pig and shellfish). While she is gone I am taking the opportunity to gorge myslef on these... I am thinking Mussels tonight... probably crab legs tomorrow...

I did a search and could not find a previous topic on this.. personally I am in the 41-50 hour category (typ) It would be interesting if we could corellate this to pay scale and dicipline, but I'm not smart enough to know how to do that...

Ranting usually gets you nowhere, but sometimes you need to do it. I just overheard the VP of engineering and the Engineering PM at my work discussing that they have heard many of the engineers at my work explaining "thats not my job" when asked to perform a task. I do not understand this...

ok... Im a Mechanical in Cali, dont know if they do this for all states/diciplines, or just for me... About a month ago I recieved my (paper) PE pocket registration card, which came with instructions which can be summed up as: sign, laminate and keep on you at all times. Yesterday I recieved a...

I think I killed it! (mechanical)

I figure: since the cut score is relative to the scores of the people taking the test, we can estimate how prepared we are by comparing our scores on the practice test(s)... maybe? I have not taket the "the other board" practice test (I will give my score after I do) but I did take the NCEES...

Did anyone use the "the other board" essential equations? I know they are available for multiple diciplines. It sounded like a good idea to me, so I bought the book (mechanical), and entered them into the calc... but now that I have, I am questioning the utility of that. Did any one actually...

I am Planning on taking the test in April (in Cali). I am actually mailing my application today, so hopefully I will be accepted! I finished my bachelors degree (and my EIT) in 2002, and aside from at my job, Have rarely opened a engineering book since... Until I decided to take the test this...

I hope I am not shooting my self in the foot... but I am curious. Why do people who have taken the PE exam, or are studying to take it, help other people prepare for the exam? It would seem to me that the price paid to prepare and stamp plans is directly related to the number of people...
