Enjoy. http://www.ej4.com/impedership.asp

I am interested if anyone has had experience(s) with Data Mining and Visualization software packages. If so, what did you use and how well did it work? At my current employer, we take large amounts of data and put it into various databases or files of various format. The problem is trying to...

Has anyone gone through the certification process? Was it worth doing? http://www.pmi.org/info/default.asp

The recent US supreme court ruling regarding property seizure has significant implications. http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/06/23/scotus.property.ap/index.html As an engineer, would you think it ethical to work on a private works "development" project where the original property owners have been...

A site having links to a wide variety of simple simulators and calculators. http://www.martindalecenter.com/Calculators.html Enjoy [cheers]

One of the most (or perhaps the most significant) tools that has been placed at the engineer is the computer. This tool has become increasingly powerful over the years. I wonder though, if this tool is making sloppy engineers out of us. With ever more intricate algorithms, the capability of...

Much has been posted in various forums and threads that one of the great strengths to licenensed engineering practice is the adherence to a code of ethics. Are any of you aware of individuals who have lost their license to practice? Did they just go somewhere else and begin working again...

Here is a link to the Board Report. It is rather large at 248 pages (10mB). http://www.caib.us/news/report/default.html

All, http://onlineethics.org/essays/intl/nafta.html This is an interesting essay based upon the practice of engineering under NAFTA.

So, are they a good thing or a bad thing, neither, both? I have not worked with unions so do not offer an opinion one way or the other. I've seen them mentioned within a few individual posts and thought to start a thread for discussion.

So is this thing going to stay together? This is a link to a story about cracks in the Yangtze river 3 gorges dam. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/1925172.stm

What (if anything) should be done to enhance the general public's perception of engineers and the engineering profession? How would you go about it?

Just for fun, Should Murphy's Laws be taught as an engineering course? How often do they seem to be appropriate for problems encountered in your work? Regards

Several posts, primarily within the Professional Ethics Forum, deal with either trying to define who an Engineer is, or liscensing. Is the only "true Engineer" a liscensed one? Given the relative diversity of potential engineering occupations (if not titles), should liscensing bodies...

I have begun developing a proposal for management to introduce a SPC pilot program on one of our product lines. I would like to be able to use some genuine case histories both good (to show how it can improve processes) and bad (to identify pitfalls). The Harvard Business Review has only a few...

How do you see the engineering profession evolving? Will there be a greater profusion (or need) of engineers specializing in a discipline/sub-discipline or will there be a greater need of the "Jack of all trades, master of none"? Science (in my point of view for this thread), seems...

I thought that I would pose the following for general comment. What limits should a practicing engineer place on performing technical duties falling outside their area of discipline? Should the individual's body of practice be based upon practical experience, education, or both? This is an...
