BSEET? We are just as qualified/ certified to take the EIT. I would print the Degree curriculum to clarify the similarity. In SC, it is more of a political issue as Clemson used to host this degree as well..
Most of my classmates are now Engineering and Project Managers. Where as I simply like to produce the results- "not manage people". Project engineering as well, as I can bring together the details for sucess.
I came to Atlanta with no experience and No connections so had to start from the bottom.
While I have been limited by both some Jobs and Headhunters
when performing I have been known to meeet if not exceed expectations and create new methods and more efficient practices.
IF not for family issues and the 2009 ECONOMIC meltdown , I would have still been in Engineeering positions but hampered by lack of "consistant" opportunities
.
This "snap shot" above only shows a small portion of projects in my care. I did not at the time anticpate making this web site. this and other images are just what I happen to salvage from disketes of work I happened to retain. In 4 years my taks were more numerous and simultaneous.
The Directory list shown above is a subset of the various projects I worked on while at Ray Group Consulting. In 3-4 years I did multiple project support under the direction of the principle engineer/president.
I was laid off in 2008, due to "lack of work" in response to the 2008 meltdown. I must undertake various challenges and skillsets making it difficult to be current in everything.
I did not tend to look for Jobs while employed, but to "complete contracts" to be in good standing with recruiters. I may require some support until I can re-acclimate to various tasks and calculations based on new job tasksets. I have the experience , but also honestly prefer some oversight, until my confidence returns. I "never" overstate my abilities.
I was provided guidance and mentoring as we traveled to sites and approached projects. 2005-2008. My mentor led most technical meetings. Various types of projects to include Cement manufacturing, pump stations, controls, and electrical installations and retrofits.
Unfortunately due to family issues I did not learn as rapidly or become independent during this period. (Those conditions no longer exist.) Else I would have developed techniques and software to simplify the job and increase productivity.
I've performed the calculations or used tools for : voltage drop, conduit and conductor selection, wire fill, marsalling panel design, lighting selection and specifcation and use of the NEC to verify and insure meeting specifications.
Much of my innovations are software based, so repetitive calculations can be eliminated and create more accurate results. I may do them manually to verify results if something looks suspicious. But technology is the future: "SKM tools" does a good job at Electrical calculations. "ETAP" does short circuit and arc flash analysis. So I intend to turn my attention to "CAE" as it relate to my job.
