From: "Tarver Engineering"

Jose has been posting to me for years.

The difference being, Jose doesn't get his apnties in a wad when he

learns
something.


There seems to be quite a few "Wads" in this group and, as a rule, they
HATE engineers. As registered PE's, we're the lowest of the lows.


That is the natural reaction to an engineer by a mechanic.

My uncle owned an electrical contracting company in Texas and he hated PEs.

The
"know it alls". I guess we're supposed to forget that we've spent years
banging our heads on books on dif. eq's, physics, electrical circuit

analysis,
thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, gas dynamics, chemistry, mechanics of
materials, and methods of scientific analysis as well as a hundred other
subjects.


They get the most upset when we point out the paradox one of their newsgroup
concensuses.

Then we're supposed to defer to someone who read an article
in "Flying", or worse, "Popular Science".
Face it, nobody likes an engineer.....................until they have a

problem
that NEEDS to be solved.
This should really get me on the "sh*t list" around here.


If FAA had implemented FAA Order 8110.37 (1966) WRT professional engineers a
lot less dead people. FAA has now coppied the NCEES model state law into
their Designee selection process.
