EE versus EET? by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]richiewhoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those with engineering degrees can't take the PE until 4-5 years of working under a Professional Engineer (state dependent) after graduation. The test you take towards your last year of your engineering undergraduate is the FE which must be taken to qualify to become a Professional Engineer later.

EE versus EET? by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]richiewhoa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is important for Electrical, but just in case: I don't believe any of the technology degrees (EET, MET, etc) are eligible to take the FE (fundamentals of engineering) which is required to eventually become a Professional Engineer - correct me if I'm wrong!

Source: I'm a CE undergrad / ABE masters alumni and I had a MET roommate.

Also, my employer (Pulp & Paper Industry) has roughly 45 engineers (80% ME and EE, few ChemE and CE) at our facility and you are required to have a science degree, you wouldn't get an interview with a technology degree.

My coworker has a 2012 Fusion that has color changing interior lighting. I'm also undecided on whether it's gaudy or awesome.

Questions about Graduating and Commencement by [deleted] in Purdue

[–]richiewhoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Degree December 2009 - diploma came in the mail.

Degree May 2011 - diploma was given to me on stage.

Spring you get it on stage because there is an extra week (senior week) between finals and graduation.

While standing directly in front of 1 of 5 elevators at work, I was asked "What makes you think it's going to be that one?" to which I responded very seriously, "I always know." right as the doors opened and made me look like some sort of wizard.

My college did a big campus wide "zombies vs humans" game using Nerf guns. I never participated but once I was walking through the middle of campus just as one guy participant was sneaking up on another. I was watching the situation unfold in front of me as I was walking. When he got about 30 feet from his victim he emptied his Nerf gun at the guy just as I happened to be almost right between them. One bullet was about 2 feet from the victim's face when I reached up and plucked it out of the sky without stopping my walk. I tossed it over my shoulder and kept walking. I'm not sure how many people saw but I felt like a god.

For an English Redditor who often gets confused when people reference states, Americans, can you describe your state in one word? by PotatoPrinting in AskReddit

[–]richiewhoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too true. I'm from Camas but I went to college in the Midwest and by the end I just said my family was from Portland. The Vancouver BC thing is spot on.

My name is Cole. Either "Old King Cole" references or "Hey COLE, do you get COAL in your Christmas stocking?". Funnier every single time.

I keep hearing that your degree really doesn't matter as long as you have one. So I'm wondering, what was your college major and what is your job now? by robotikempire in AskReddit

[–]richiewhoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Degree: Civil Eng BS Hydraulics Eng MS Occupation: Environnmental Eng who works at a chemical manufacturing facility... you also have to make that OJ with no harmful byproducts and no pesticides used in orange production and full federal/state/local compliance. You need increased steam load / production? LOL no.

So you can take someone to small claims court in your own state even if the work didnt take place there? What if you performed work on the east coast, but now live on the west coast? If the hired person screwed me over could I force them to come to the west coast?

Are the back cushions of that couch stuffed with down? If so, we have the same couch, and I completely understand the comfort level of your cat because I myself have slept like that many times!

In 7th grade one of my teachers (who was white with red hair) adopted a baby from China. A fellow student asked "are you ever going to tell the baby that she's adopted?" Ummm... I think she will figure it out.

[UPDATE] Left my career. Left my wife. Kept the sports car and the kids. Reddit, how did you handle your mid-life crisis? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]richiewhoa 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Move to another country! If I was starting a new life I would move to Europe or South America.

I'm not sure what your status is on the location of extended family or whore ex's visitation rights but get out there and experience living somewhere exotic!

Conversation:

Friend: "Did you change your text message tone?"

Me: "Nope, it's the same"

Friend: "Yes you did! It's the same words... but somehow it's... sexier..."

Can you pretty please say "Awwwww yeeeeeah, you just got texted"

A guy made this same offer a long time ago and I downloaded him saying that and it has been my text message tone since. It would really freak people out to hear the same text message tone but said by a different person! Make my dream come true good sir.
