I was lazy and asked myself what portion of exponential met linearity spec. Lab instructor came by to view my test data. He said "Oh you chose a Miller run up." I said "NO. Just an RC". That semester was fun. My father was a practicing EE even though is degree was ME. [Back in 20's an EE meant 60 cps power but an ME got more background in what we now consider to be EE. If he were still alive, he would enjoy this discussion.]Article: 95126

Yes. My point exactly. Without the pictures your standard McD drone
would be dead in the water.
BTW, I don't go to McD's. Last one I was in was 12 years ago in
Germany. I was down to dollars only and needed some D-Marks. McD's
would take dollars and give back change in D-Marks, so I walked in,
bought a cup of coffee and handed over a $20 ;-)

My favorite stunt in a checkout line...
Cash register total shows (e.g.) $20.26
Hand boy/girl $21.00
After he/she rings it in, hand over 1¢
And watch 'em squirm ;-)

Else you would not hold that degree. IIRC only about 17% of the year when I started made it. They had the "three strikes rule". If you flunked an exam you could repeat once. Only one exam could be attempted a third time and you had to request special permission for that. Fail it again and you were out for good. Oh, and that repeat exam came with the "exitement" of an aural where you were grilled by the professor for a half hour or so. And no Xanax or Zoloft or whatever in those days.

Still is, in most states, due to the industry exemption. Take that away and that state will slide down into the technological abyss. I have also had the "pleasure" to share your experiences WRT to young grads. Universities still do not teach much practical engineering and the kids today are not creative anymore in the ways we were. The demise of Heathkit and those cool electronics surplus stores in town is an indicator of that. Licensing is not going to make that situation any better. Not by one iota. It would make it worse by taking older engineers with real experience but non-ABET course work out of the work force. Engineers who would then probably sue those agencies into oblivion.

Hello Jim, > > I always order up certified copies. I NEVER part with originals ;-) > I did ask them whether that would be remotely possible. They said "nope". The worst was when I needed a driver license in the Netherlands. They took my original for four weeks and gave me a little Xerox snippet that said that I had a license. All in Dutch no less. No signatures, no stamps, nothing. The only alternative to that "process" would have been full blown drivers ed and tests, to the tune of some $2k.
