Subject: Question about passive systems
Keywords: Passive, Safety, Systems, Operation, experience
Organization: Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Idaho Falls, Idaho
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 92 15:59:27 GMT

I am interested in information about the operation of passive
safety systems.  By passive passive systems we mean systems that
do not rely on a human action nor an active component, but rather
on gravity or some sore of stored energy (batteries).  

I would appreciate any information or leads to information about
the design and operation of these types of systems in Industry.
Please reply directly to me, for I seldom have the opportunity
to read these groups.  Thank you.

I know of a software called LABVIEW, manufactured by National Instruments in Austin Texas, which can be used A/D and D/A conversion and high speed digital data acquisition. It is a pretty good software whose main purpose is for various control applications.

If you can't get the address or phone number thro' directory enquiry, send me an e-mail. I'll give you the phone number.

howdy all!

i have a couple of questions about the P.E. licensing.  first, let me
say that i am currently a grad student at Univ. of Houston (in Texas) in
Materials Engr. and have already passed my F.E.E./E.I.T. exam.

i was wondering if i am allowed to take the P.E. exam BEFORE i have
finished my work experience or, must i wait until i have completely
finished it?

also, what states allow reciprocity?  or, maybe i should ask what states
do NOT allow P.E. reciprocity (such as California and Alaska, i have heard)?

thanks for any info!

    Good luck guy, if you find two states that have it, reciprocity that
is then let me know.  In Florida, they recip with no-one!  Even the
counties won't ( like a Electrical Journyman lic is only good in the county
that you pass the test, and every county uses the same BLOCK exam..)..of
course the state is good all over..but not in another state.  You know it
is a matter of money...450.00 to take the exam...

I dont know but I view engineering more of an art then a science but
then again I am rather new at it.  But I am under the impression,
inpressions given by open minded teachers that emphasised creative
solutions, as well as an employer who emphasizes the same.  Although

	Using the method described in this newgroup several days ago
(.e.g. sending a message to my local listserv asking to get lists global)
I discovered that there is a list called TQM-L@UKANVM.BITNET (subtitled
TQM in higher education).  That might appear to leave out those of us
industry, but perhaps a couple could join and test the waters.
	I second the desire to have a discussion place for the methodologies
(and would include design of experiments/factor analysis).

If I recall corectly, you must obtain work experience before
you can qualify for the P.E. test.  The requirement in most states
is that you have a 4-year degree from an approved program and 4 years
of work experience, or, a 4-year degree plus a higher degree plus
3 years of work experience.  Then you can apply for the P.E. test.

>also, what states allow reciprocity?  or, maybe i should ask what states

Most states allow reciprocity, as you've already noted.  I know that
California has special requirement, due to the earthquakes.  I think
that New York has some odd rules about reciprocity too.  In any case,
you can contact your State Board of Professional Engineers and Land
Surveyors.  They'll tell you everything you'll want to know.

                      Wednesday, October 7th, 1992


Computer-Assisted Drafting and Geographic Information Systems generate and use
large graphics and image files. Up until recently, traditional wide-area
networking services simply couldn't deliver fast communication of these large
graphics and image files over long distances. New higher-speed data
communication services like ISDN, FDDI and, in Australia, FASTPAC may finally
offer a workable alternative to users of these technologies.

This seminar offers managers, support staff and end-users the opportunity to
gain a better appreciation of new, high-speed networking services now being
offered to the CAD and GIS communities in Australia.  Participants will also
hear about the performance and application of wide-area networks in these
environments, and the tradeoffs involved when evaluating the various options
available.

Presentations will be made by representatives from state and local government,
utilities, communications consulting firms and research organisations.  Topics
will cover high-speed data communication alternatives now being offered,
results of recent GIS networking research, and examples of operating CAD and
GIS technology in a wide-area networking environment.

girder bridge.
	It's meant to be some sort of walkway with dimensions of 20m by
4m but we making it to 1:4 scale.
	We've got to use steel in concrete in this construction.

	Any ideas and any info on box girder bridges would be greatly
appreciated.

	Also is there a program floating around which lets the user
create their own bridge and it is graphically tested out with traffic
etc.. It sounds interesting.

	Thanks in advance.

Research assistantship is available in the area of computer-aided engineering.
The research involves automating 2D and 3D detailed drawings of structural
systems via the knowledge-based approach.  Knowledge of databases, knowledge-
based systems, and computer-aided design & drafting is necessary.  Working
knowledge of C programming is a must. Knowledge of structural engineering is
helpful but is not necessary. The student is expected to pursue graduate studies
in the area of computer-aided engineering leading to MS or PhD in civil
engineering or a related engineering discipline. The assistantship is available beginning January 1993. To apply send your resume and a copy of your transcript

i am under the impression that a TX P.E. will have reciprocity with other
states IF he receives/received his license via the E.I.T./P.E. dual exam
route.  in other, the 'good-ole-boy' way wont give you that reciprocity.

this info comes from a P.E. i know who got his license under the old
way (no P.E. exam).

Does this mean that Texas now will enjoy reciprocity with other states?  And
