    Salary by Discipline

    BSEE MS - Information Systems (more of a business degree) . About $120 K I work in gvt now for 8 years but previously in private industry for about 16 years. I live in CA so make the proper adjustments. I think it's like 70 K in Kentucky or something like that. Plus it's certainly...

    ^^^ I don't think it's possible to bring the old software back to life. You realize this site is basically run at a loss as a service for peoplel? One guy basically runs it and pays for it, with only a little help. If you are anxious to make a large contribuition maybe he can spotlight your...

    Who was the worst President since the Depression

    It is often difficult to tell what is they "libertarian" social position. Take gay marriage, which I'm fine with BTW. Obviously, telling gay people they cannot civilly marry is government intrusion. But so is government sanctioning of gay marriage or any other marriage for that matter...

    Who was the worst President since the Depression

    You mean libertarian, which is different from liberal. So you would be against government funding for abortion, and against any government funding of a place like Planned Parenthood or stem cell research? Since those involve spending taxpayer money those are appropriate issues, albeit not...

    Which Discipline for afternoon test on PE-Civil is easier to pass?

    By separate references I meant the books you study from, not the people you use as references, which apparently are separate according to your post.

    Which Discipline for afternoon test on PE-Civil is easier to pass?

    Okay. Now I see. I'm assuming the electrical is all the power associated with the wiring of the facilities, and maybe some motors and controls. I ask the question because IMO the most imortant but underrated portion of the licensing process is getting an honest reference to sign off on your...

    Which Discipline for afternoon test on PE-Civil is easier to pass?

    Out of curiosty, what type of job do you have that has allowed you to gain the requisite experience in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical? I'm assuming if you actually have two or four years (whatever the requirement is) Civil experience then you have experience doing something related to Civil...

    Who was the worst President since the Depression

    This is what most people think when they say libertarian.. This type of person might win but they wouldn't get my vote. I might vote for a social moderate - for example I could see voting for Mitch Daniels., but I would never have voted for Giuliani. A lot of Christians, a huge part of the...

    Filter Practice Problem for P.E. - Electrical

    I'm very rusty, but can't you just cascade a few LPFs (Sallen Key) filters with a 50 KHZ cutoff until you get the proper amplitude response? I think these are just caps and resistors on op-amps, and they have a standard design. You could also do it with a bandpass filter, but I don't see the...

    BME in trouble, need advice

    A guy that works with me (former Chemist) worked in drug delivery and quit to get his EE degree. Of course he did that back during the dotcom boom because he thought he would strike it big. And although he has a decent job, similar to mine, he didn't end up being a dotcom milionaire. I have...

    BME in trouble, need advice

    One other thing - I looked at the LEAP program and that looks pretty interesting. If it were me I would choose something at least tangentially applicable to the energy or petrochemical industry for my phase 2 concentration. Not every EE has to work for Apple, sometimes it's better to take the...

    BME in trouble, need advice

    Do you have a reason why you think you would like EE or computer engineering, or are you just looking for something more employable? Because I hear that it can be sort of tough for everyone out there, regardless of major. In fact, I read somewhere recently that one of the best jobs with lowest...

    Nerds survive unemployment

    Here's the full listing- http://graphicsweb.w.../NILF1111/#term= You can get a better idea of what it means and where the people are employed by looking at the salaries. It certainly doesn't look like all the nerds are asking if you want fries with that.

    Why continue to censor?

    If you'd like the full experience I 'm sure they can arrange to run you over with a tank.
