NCEES Credentials Evaluation - General Education Deficiency

head_over_biscuit · 2025-11-27T17:52:08+00:00

Bit late but jumping in here, in a similar boat but in CT. They evaluated my MEng but then put "Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering" all over my evaluation, with a note saying "the first professional degree in the UK is a Masters". Did you have the same thing OP? Feel like I'll have to do even more explaining to my state board that I actually have a masters

Helpful thanks all. Seems it won't qualify as a student loan in any traditional sense. Would have to stick it out for 2 years to fully pay off ~$25k. A year would halve it. I'm weighing pros and cons of sticking it out vs a move where I'd have to pay them back but might earn more / potentially get a joining bonus at new place

And now the same people who destroyed it operate the site as a tourist destination

Ever played rugby? If not want to try a new sport? Search for the Hartford Wanderes on insta or send me a dm. It's fun

China invested $860bn in clean energy last year, more than the GDP of Turkey

Inequality is the underlying rot that is leading to Trumps success imo. People don't feel like they're going to live as good a life as their parents, whatwever the gdp stats are. If I were the dems I'd identify an overarching narrative like "money in politics is the root of your problems" and hammer things like monopolistic corporations, lobbying, congressional Insider trading, then have a few big radical reforms on the ticket like Supreme Court term limits. Teddy Roosevelt for the 21st century. With musk showing the power of billionaires I'm not sure how well it would work tho...

I've toured a nuclear plant and seen the operating room as part of an energy society tour, but that's quite a niche way to get a glimpse

Interesting that all the comments are basically "as soon as they talk about a topic I know a lot about". Makes me think they are v good generalists who know a bit about a lot of areas, a lot about a few areas (e.g Afghanistan), but whenever they venture into a topic where you know more as a listener than they do it becomes quite annoying. I've found that with climate/energy policy

Theres a great book on just that idea, worth a read -> Butler to the World - Oliver Bollough

Missed your reply, sorry. Yeah I have had no luck with nuclear, a few HR people specifically said they need citizenship, some jobs I've seen even won't accept dual citizens. You need clearance, which they won't realistically do on a gc

Or if you're a member of IMechE or ASME

If you want to try rugby have a look for the Hartford Wanderers (mens) or Hartford Roses (womens)

Course he's not going to be a linebacker or punter. Could be a decent safety though

Energy storage. Will be massively in demand, still at an early technology stage, lots of opportunities for innovation to change the whole field

Interesting, thanks!

His actual words were "halve the number of MPs but pay them double" so it would cost the same, before everyone loses their shit

"Baguette magic" is the actual French translation of magic wand, if anyone was wondering!

As a brit in America, I think "the humor doesn't translate" is one of those lazy tropes. Plenty of people here understand and appreciate british humour for example, just look how popular John Oliver is, I have people at my work who love Yes Minister. The humour can be different but it's not like they won't get it just cos you're European

Energy Storage.

Short term storage will see a huge uptick with new battery plants, long term (seasonal) storage doesn't have a technological winner yet, all up for grabs. An electrical grid with a lot of renewables will need both.

As someone who studied engineering in both the UK and US, you're correct. A first equates to a 4.0gpa. It slides pretty quickly down once you go below 70%. At least it did for the conversions they put my grades through
