are you a ****ing doctor and lawyer too?
the sad thing about this is its probably what you tell people when you meet them too.
"Oh, im an engineer at kiewit"
translation: i havent finished college, and have never taken an engineering class.

tell me, what test have you passed that gives you the right to call yourself an engineer?

[C.J.]

i dont get it? please explain?

[Bobby Light]

I am a Maintenance Engineer

I apologize I will change it.

[Bobby Light]

dave is butt hurt

[Bobby Light]

there changed, happy you ****ing cry baby

[dave]

we have this kid on the board who, as far as i know is a business college drop out, calling himself an engineer.

Now to the average person this may not seem like an offense at all. but to an engineering major, and not even an engineer in training yet, this is ridiculous.

[rsisbetter]

its possible, i should be nearing completion of my electrical engineering degree from SCC, by the time im 21. (and i took over a year and a half off from h.s.) so its possible to have an AAS engineering degree by 20. POSSIBLE, i didnt say he did, but possible.

[Bobby Light]

I go to school at bellevue univeristy.

[dave]

you are not an engineer any more than a jiffy lube guy is a lubrication engineer.

yes, it pisses me off because it degrades what i do.

[Bobby Light]

its my title, i didnt give it to myself.

[Bobby Light]

and dave, you dont do anything, least not yet.

[C.J.]

well from the classes I have taken leading up to my engineering degree, i am sure he has done something aka busted balls hardcore in some hard ass classes

[dave]

jesus ****. bullshit! wtf is wrong with you guys?!!!!!

[coop]

:HUGS:

[Bobby Light]

dave dont get it.

[rsisbetter]

^^i concur, just because i will have an electrical engineering AAS, will that make my title an engineer? yes. but will i be a bonafide engineer? probably not without a BA.

[dave]

and dave, you dont do anything, least not yet.

what the **** are you talking about i dont do anything yet?

[Bobby Light]

jesus ****. bullshit! wtf is wrong with you guys?!!!!!


maybe your doing something wrong.

[coop]

:MORE HUGS:

[Bobby Light]

what the **** are you talking about i dont do anything yet?

you said its degrading blah blah blah, well you told me you didnt have a job.

therefore you dont do anything.

[rsisbetter]

jesus ****. bullshit! wtf is wrong with you guys?!!!!!

read down below, how can I help that my degree program is electrical engineering?:rolleyes:

[dave]

^^i concur, just because i will have an electrical engineering AAS, will that make my title an engineer? yes. but will i be a bonafide engineer? probably not without a BA.

NO! you will have an AAS IN electrical engineering technology. you will in no way shape or form be an engineer anymore than a CNA is a doctor.

[dave]

this board is already filled with ****ing idiots!

[Chevelle7D2]

im a molecular virologist, brocks just jealous cuz im smartereder then him.

[Bobby Light]

this board is already filled with ****ing idiots!

bye!

[dave]

lol, i wont be frequenting here at all, trust me. i just wanted to get on to tell you to stop lying to people.

[Bobby Light]

Thanks Dave, have fun in class buddy

[dave]

tell me what you meant by i dont do anything.

[STOK5OH]

youuu sooo crazzzzy,ima have yo baby!!!

[rsisbetter]

NO! you will have an AAS IN electrical engineering technology. you will in no way shape or form be an engineer anymore than a CNA is a doctor.


slow down, and read wht i said again.
my TITLE, will say/be i have an engineering degree. like i said, i cant be an ACTUAL engineer without a BA.

[dave]

im taking 22 hours of classes. that mean 44 hours of studying.

i had to quit my job that i had for 2 years at olsson associates as an engineering student.
before that job, i had a job there....oh my...i made more money than you make! oh boy!

i worked with engineers. i live with an engineer.

have you ever been to a doctors office and say a physician. and you ask for "Dr. whatever". and they say..."oh, hes not a doctor." they correct you because being a doctor is prestigious. just as being an engineer is.

[Thunder]

i think dave has a crush on spencer. Like the boy in 3rd grade who kept throwin rocks at that one girl cuz he liked her.

[dave]

slow down, and read wht i said again.
my TITLE, will say/be i have an engineering degree. like i said, i cant be an ACTUAL engineer without a BA.

NO! it will not! you will be a technician. thats all you will be without an engineering degree.

[Bobby Light]

you said its degrading blah blah blah, well you told me you didnt have a job.

therefore you dont do anything.

miss that post?

[Bobby Light]

dave I work with different kinds of engineers every day, guys like you sit behind a computer and take orders from guys like me.

[dave]

i think dave has a crush on spencer. Like the boy in 3rd grade who kept throwin rocks at that one girl cuz he liked her.

wow, just stay out of it.
if youre really curious, someone else told me that spencer had his title as engineer and i signed up only to tell him he is not one, because it pisses me off when people use the title in inappropriate ways.

[Bobby Light]

dave is going to be the president of all engineers!!!

[Bobby Light]

lets cry dave.

[dave]

dave I work with different kinds of engineers every day, guys like you sit behind a computer and take orders from guys like me.


BNWUWWWUAHAHAHAHAHAHWUWANAHHAHAHA!!!!!!


HAHAHA!@

[Bobby Light]

wonder who that someone else is!

[dave]

i know you cant be serious.

[Thunder]

wow, just stay out of it.
if youre really curious, someone else told me that spencer had his title as engineer and i signed up only to tell him he is not one, because it pisses me off when people use the title in inappropriate ways.

fair enough, continue on.

[rsisbetter]

ok, no, there is a seperate program for that, its called 'electronic servicing'

i know an "engineer' sure he went to college for it, but hes not certified, HE is a loser, moooch, crackhead, lazy ass piece of ****. did he get an engineering BA? yes. Is he an engineer? **** NO.

point proven

[Bobby Light]

I just told the engineer at Manitowoc Crane Company that i needed drawings for 5 models of cranes, in all configurations.

I'd say thats taking orders...

[coop]

:KISSES:

they are the ones trusted with designing that crane model though.

it doesn't seem to be working COOP.

:GRABS ASS:

TWO FINGERS ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!

point proven

I'm sorry, you're wrong. you will be a technician.
Any engineering firm you will ever work at:
engineers have 4 bachelors or better.
technicians have 2 year degrees.

youre just wrong. plain wrong. im not going to school you any more on this. you will find it out when you go get a job. sorry to burst your bubble.

[Thunder]

theres your break

[Chevelle7D2]

oh ya dave, well im a molecular engineer... got that degree in 6months from the beautiful campus of Phoenix... ONLINE!! yAY!

[Bobby Light]

they are the ones trusted with designing that crane model though.


Right, they are a different kind of engineer, I wouldnt know how to do it. but then agian they wouldnt know how to do what i do either.

dave cant live with that.

[C.J.]

rofl @ ryan

[rsisbetter]

i can be an engineers assistant, how about that? why are you so damn butt hurt on the subject?

(BTW: if im making $20/hr as an assistant, i'd be more than happy)

[STOK5OH]

because dave is god of *,that's just how it is.

[dave]

they are the ones trusted with designing that crane model though.

at least someone else here doesnt buy his ****.

Spencer,
You have not graduated college. You have no degree. You are working with engineers and technicians that do have degrees. They make more money than you, they have been there longer.
No one here is going to believe that you have seniority over them.
Next time you ask for something from them, tell them to do it or they will get fired. I bet you will be the one fired. Make sense how you work FOR them?

At my old job i took orders from a senior project manager (certified professional electrical engineer). He took his orders from the the CEO and the president of the company.

So tell me, where do you fit into that equation?

[rsisbetter]

oh BTW: i pay for EVERY goddamn penny for school/supplies/tuition out of my own pocket. so dont you think if i had $15k + to go to UNL per year, I would? $2k pwnt's $15K (give or take), i dont want to hear how much YOU spent.

[dave]

i can be an engineers assistant, how about that? why are you so damn butt hurt on the subject?

(BTW: if im making $20/hr as an assistant, i'd be more than happy)


because i have dealt with this **** for 2+ years.

It is a title that you earn. Saying you are an engineer in a room of engineers will get people pissed off at you. it trivializes what they have accomplished.

[dave]

see title of thread.

[C.J.]

dave how much longer do you have before you graduate? What engineering program are you doing?

[MadmaX]

where would we be without our egos

[STOK5OH]

wearing makeup,working on an FD most likely.

[dave]

i have 81 hrs so far. so im a little beyond 2 years, but im on track to graduate in two years (this one included). so fall of 2009

[dave]

where would we be without our egos

I wish my ego could get me my degree. Unfortunately i have to work my ass off for it.

[Bobby Light]

"tell them to do it or they will get fired"

you need to work on your people skills.

pretty sure if i need something ASAP I get it. Plain and simple, because if they slow me down they slow the company down.

for example, since you dont get it

If we have a 999 That is going to be set on the Benica Bridge, but before that i need to know the ground bearing pressure at full load and maxium boom, if they dont get me that information it could potentially stop the job. know how much money we would lose if we had to stop a job completely? not to mention what that would do to our backlog.

so tell me where seniority or making more money than me has anything to do with that?

also, how can anyone fire someone in another company...?

Do you not ****ing get it?

[rsisbetter]

see title of thread.

go **** yourself. im sooooooooo glad for you, idiot. "a hundred years from now it wont matter what your bank account was, the house you lived in, or the car you drove"

[Bobby Light]

dave is butt hurt

[rsisbetter]

apparently

[4 cam torino]

I'm an engineer, I couldn't care less about this crap.

i dont think anyone believes you spencer.

also, as far as the firing thing. Hypothetical situations have never been your forte, so let me explain them to you.

When someone suggests to do something that seems outrageous or extremely out there it is usually to prove a point.

A easy example is:
Bob - "My ford is indestructible"
Steve - "Oh yeah, well why dont you run it into a wall at 70mph?"

The above example illustrates that the truck, is in fact not indestructible, and it does so in a hypothetical situation. And the bonus to this being a hypothetical situation is that it can be shown with out any harm coming to the truck.

[dave]

go **** yourself. im sooooooooo glad for you, idiot. "a hundred years from now it wont matter what your bank account was, the house you lived in, or the car you drove"

awwww, how precious.

[dave]

I'm an engineer, I couldn't care less about this crap.

then you dont know spencer well.

[Bobby Light]

you are pointless.

[Bobby Light]

then you dont know spencer well.

pretty sure he does...maybe you dont know me, im sure ive hung out with bard alot more than you.

[MadmaX]

go **** yourself. im sooooooooo glad for you, idiot. "a hundred years from now it wont matter what your bank account was, the house you lived in, or the car you drove"

congratulations
you've had a lot to overcome, but I am now going to stop making fun of you.

its tru, I've seen me do it.

Occupation:
Maintainence Engineer at Kiewit



perhaps you were just an engineer before because MAINTENANCE has too many siwwy siwabuls

[dave]

i have never heard of a maintenance engineer before, so i thought i would look it up. while it appears no formal training is available for it, some companies do use the title, for various things.
from the kiewit website

The Maintenance Engineer will provide field and shop maintenance coordination and assistance on heavy equipment, monitor and schedule routine maintenance; log and maintain industry required recordkeeping. Follow all company safety policies and guidelines. Keep shop area organized and clean, maintain all tools in safe condition. Understand and follow satate and local regulations, such as those governing the disposal of hazardous waste. Keep current on company policy and manufacturer service bulletins. Document work performed using computer terminal and maintenance software. Maintain accurate vehicle/equipment history files. Attend company and manufacturer sponsored training classes. Miscellaneous other duties as assigned.

Like I said before, you really cant fool me. It is interesting that you try though. And trying is all that matters!

[Bobby Light]

wow you are dead on. I cant fool you.

to bad I dont work anywhere near a shop...but im sure you knew that already...

nice try dave, i am a maintenance engineer, i work for kiewit, get the **** over it already

btw you want me to point out all of your grammatical errors?

[Alley]

Who's Dave?

[4 cam torino]

stockcivic

[Bobby Light]

hes kinda like a dog that follows around humping your leg...

[4 cam torino]

Why would anyone in an engineering discussion bring up grammar anyway? The college credit I had from Advanced Grammar in High School got me nothing toward my degree. Pretty sure I took no classes offered by the English department. Although maybe the speech class we had to take was, I don't recall for sure.

[Bobby Light]

dave does not care, its not about engineering, or grammar or anything, its about him gettin off on feeling superior.

[dave]

wow you are dead on. I cant fool you.

to bad I dont work anywhere near a shop...but im sure you knew that already...

nice try dave, i am a maintenance engineer, i work for kiewit, get the **** over it already

that wasnt a grammatical error.

[4 cam torino]

Intro to public discourse was a Communications dept thing, not an English dept thing, yep, BSME, no English classes, FTW!

[Bobby Light]

that wasnt a grammatical error.

where did i say it was, i was talking about you not me, keep up dave.

it makes me laugh. Because sometimes i type out electrical engineer wrong. and when i do i feel like a complete dumb ass. here i am, supposedly in one of the most difficult degrees in college, and i cant even ****ing spell it right.

i laugh at myself about it. i am allowed to laugh at him about it.

[Bobby Light]

ok...?

[dave]

Intro to public discourse was a Communications dept thing, not an English dept thing, yep, BSME, no English classes, FTW!

i had to take JGEN200 or something like that. journalism...it was actually called technical communications.

[c0z]

FIRST

[4 cam torino]

i had to take JGEN200 or something like that. journalism...it was actually called technical communications.

Yeah, I took that too, I actually had another class in the Journalism Department as well, Honors Seminar Freshman year. But nothing from the English department, still. The Advanced Grammar class from high school's credit did score me sophomore standing a semester early which was a nice bonus at registration time. I always got the spring semester classes I wanted because I always had my class standing a semester early so I got to register before the other people I was fighting for Spring classes with. It was sweet.

[dave]

did you take it at UNL? if so, did you have Nolte?

[ADV1]

just for the record, I'm a Sales Engineer... just thought you'd like to know.,,.. Carry on...

ok, i will apologize.

anyone who wants to call themselves an engineer may do so. sorry for taking pride in what i do.

im doctor dave now though. just so everyone knows. i am also a veterinarian(i took a biology class and have a dog).

Thomas

i never said anything about anyone being uneducated dumb****s, nor did i imply it.

youre not a CFO. im not saying im an engineer. im not an engineer. im working hard to become one though.

my point is that i dont even declare myself as an engineer. i really really really want to be one.

when i get there (probably 10 years from now) im going to wear that title proud. because i will feel like i have earned it.

its not about making people feel stupid. its not about talking down to people.

i guess you might not understand. its my whole life. its all i do. i study all the time. to be an engineer. i put everything i have into it. when i get there i want to be proud of it. yeah, the money will be nice, but i will be an engineer. an electrical engineer.

sorry if it means a lot to me and i dont want other people trivializing what i am putting everything i have into.
if you cant understand that i have no other means of explaining it to you.
