Why I Support States Having Professional Engineering (PE) Requirements.

 

Math is "Subjective" And "Used to Normalize Racism and Marginalization of Non-Eurocentric Mathematical Knowledges"

The statement about math being subjective and blah, blah, blah.....is a lame excuse. This really translates to, "Math is hard and I don't want to have to do anything hard."

Profession Engineer examination become more critical and important to public safety when schools start to dumb down the engineering curriculum. I do not want to be anywhere near a public building or electrical substation designed by someone who cannot perform the correct calculations.

There have been some recent arguments that a four year degree is all that should be required to advertise yourself as an Engineer. There is so much that is not taught during those four years, even at a good college, that none of the recent grads should want to take personal liability for public safety in their designs. The mentoring under a current PE and then the capability to pass the exam are very important to competent design and public safety.

I believe there was one lawsuit based on the principal that the designer had a degree and had been performing this function for years for private industry. Why should he have to have a PE to advertise to the public as an Engineer? My question would be as to why you are afraid to take the exam if you are soo good at what you do?

The Bronco is Blessed

 

It was raining off and on during my 2019 deer hunt and I noticed this rainbow. It came right down on the Bronco. I can never sell it now as it has been touched by a rainbow! I made diligent search around and under it but alas there was no pot of gold to be found. I think that I will put in my will that I want to be buried in it.

An Era has Passed - Rush is Gone

 It is sad that Rush is gone early. I listened to his show only occasionally so I probably would not qualify as a Ditto Head. There was always a strong effort for facts and analysis on many topics. He seemed to stay away from vitriol. I could never stand the hosts that were shouting at me as volume convinces me of nothing. Rush Limbaugh was a Great American. Rest in peace.

Who is going to try to fill his shoes?

Grand Baby #2

Beautiful baby girl! I decided that I needed to start posting anew since it has been some time since the last one. This is a perfect starter since babies are beautiful!

 Her brother is quite pleased that she has arrived.

We are quite pleased for our daughter and son-in-law.

Did I mention that babies are beautiful?
