Everytime you write a little memo on a post-it note for someone, stamp it!

How often do you use it? And secondly, do you remember the first thing you stamped? It seems all my previous and current co-workers remember their first plan they approved or first form they stamped. What was yours if you remember?

My guess is that it keeps students from taking an undergraduate major in a different field/school from their masters work and becoming certified due to the MS work? Get your bachelor's from a non-accredited program online, and then jump ship to a local accredited university to get a masters -...

Junior and Senior year of school when students begin to hone in on what they want to become is when cirriculums should begin to incorporate these programs into the higher electives. I completely understand the financial burden carried by schools to obtain and keep up their licenses, but when...

I feel like a masters in civil eng. will only take you so far. Most of the time, the masters will get you in the door then experience takes presidence from there.

You are right where everyone in my graduating class was when we graduated in 2009. Our school department had a TV that ran powerpoint slides constantly - it stated that the graduating CEE from the school was making on average $58,000/year based on surveys conducted. I am 100% convinced that...

Funny you mention this - I always wore a suit and tie when I had interviews. The kicker is that I would wear a vibrant tie or use a pocket napkin that stood out in color. I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but almost always got an offer or a follow up interview. Just one more way...

All the local universities/colleges in my area do not require a CAD class, the University of Massachusetts where I went only offered one elective in CAD design, but that only consisted of drafting in isometric views - the final assignment was to take a floor plan printout and copy it into...

We do not have a written dress code other than "appropriate for work and shows a sense of professionalism" in the employee handbook. I tend to wear neat/clean jeans, tucked in button down shirt with no tie, and boots (nicer LL Bean engineer boots). I have slacks and a few nice dress shirt and...

I have a gripe with current college curriculums and what is required to earn a degree. It seems no school requires a class in AutoCAD drafting specific to the major, they only offer a basic elective that shows how to draw a line inside of a circle. When my company tries to hire a new employee...

I have only gotten the flu shot once in highschool during my physical - the doctor talked me into it. Almost immediately I got the flu followed by the stomach bug, never got another shot after that. I have to debate with my doctor every year about how I do not want the shot, she makes it sound...

How do you circumcise a redneck? Kick his sister in the chin..............

Maybe you are not the one who drafts CAD plans, but does your company's title block contain a line item for "Drawn By:" and "Designed By:"? I am starting to get all my material together to apply for the PE exam - all the projects I did the design work on, I also drafted to completion (I am the...

My Mom used to read to my older brother and I every night. The ones I remember most were "Harriet the Spy", specifically this version: And all of the "Magic Castle Readers" series: I think there were about 25 or so books in the set. I wish I still had them but figured they were great...
