what about using them for fridge controllers?
i mean....i didn't say anything....
Since I'm a mechanic, I dream of finding an automotive engineer who puts even the tiniest bit of thought into how to go about fixing the piece of crap they engineered.
They must feel they engineer them to never break.![]()
you never want to be an automotive engineer.. i thought i did until i interned at one place designing for automotive.. it blew... so much bureaucracy that goes in in those places... more than others i believe..
People are already using building controls vendors for them.... i.e. Johnson Controls A419 as a super basic model
There's more impressive controllers that can get feedback from all of your sensors, pumps, etc. and you can essentially brew plug-n-play straight to software on your computer.

I've got an Infiniti G35 (smallish sport coupe) that is a friggin bear to work on. Just changing the brake pads or in-cabin air filter is major surgery. So, while I don't like the engineer-bashing, I've gotta agree with your statement about autos.
Same in Texas. If you receive approval to take the exam and pass, then you are a "engineer".
Did that person pass the fundamentals of engineering exam? If so, that person would be called "graduate engineer".
Plumbing & electrical wholesale. Weak.
thegerm said:I think there are 2 valid realms of engineers, one where the PE is important, and one where it is less so. If you're in the more physical realm of civil, mech, petro, etc, then it's a big deal, if you're in the realm of electrical, computer, software, it's less so. I'm not worried about the government coming after me for self-identifying as an engineer on a resume that I submit to a private company not working on contracts for the public sector, just because I haven't taken the PE exam that largely isn't relevant to the type of work I do.
this also begs the question as to whether a programmer is an engineer. it's debatable, I suppose. I'd come down on "yes, programmers are engineers" side of that debate, though.
The debate regarding whether or not a programmer is an engineer can be cleared up by answering a simple question: does the programmer have an engineering degree?
You mean you need a screwdriver to be an engineer???![]()
Never heard of a BE. My engineering degree is a BS.

I worked as an electrical designer for a consulting engineering firm during my undergrad (notice I use the term electrical designer, not engineer). In that arena, a PE stamp meant the possibility of partnership. Now I work with PhD EE candidates in a $30M cleanroom who plan on working for Intel, IBM, etc. in the near future for six figure salaries who couldn't care less about a PE stamp. The need for a stamp only depends on the facet of industry into which an engineer would like to enter. I don't plan on working in an industry that requires me to have a PE, but I went ahead and passed the FE just in case.

ACbrewer said:IS a BS an engineering degree if it is a Bachelors of SCIENCE??? I have a BS (in Physics)...
But if you are a EE and program, then that's an engineer, if it is a computer scientist, I'd guess not. Although computer systems engineer would count.
A few weeks away from from Bachelor's in Philosophy and Biochemistry, separate majors. Then I'm free from school...for about a week until I start an MCAT review course. Brewing is one of the few things preventing me from saying screw it all and moving to a small island in the south pacific to fish and forage for the rest of my days.
