I am often asked the question, "Should I get my PE license or not?" Unfortunately the answer is, Probably. First let's take a look at the licensing process and understand why it exists, then take a look at extreme situations for an attempt at a yes/no answer, and finally consider the exams. All 50 have a constitutionally defined responsibility to protect the public. From an engineering point of view, as well as many other professions, this responsibility is met by the process of licensure and in our case the Professional Engineer License. Though there are different experience requirements for different states, the meaning of the license is common. The licensee demonstrates academic competency in the Fundamentals of Engineering by examination (Principles and Practices at PE time). The licensee demonstrates qualifying work experience (at PE time). The licensee ascribes to the Code of Ethics of the NSPE, and to the laws of the state of registration. Having presented these qualities the licensee is certified as an Intern Engineer, and the state involved has fulfilled its constitutionally defined responsibility to protect the public.
Reprint of the original, first published in 1863.
This volume commemorates the 10th anniversary of the discovery of high temperature superconductors (HTS). The historical framework and present status of HTS are reviewed, and the future of the field contemplated so that the HTS science can be unraveled and the HTS technology developed. This book contains the works of about 200 members of the international HTS community — from universities, government centers and laboratories, major industries and small businesses. It focuses on early and major new findings in the physics and mechanisms, materials and applications of HTS, with a projection to the emerging and future areas in science and technology.
A pedagogical and self-contained discussion on monolayer and bilayer quantum Hall systems is given in this volume in a field-theoretical framework, with an introduction to quantum field theory, anyon physics and Chem-Simons gauge theory.
The dark lord, Jaghtalaf, wants to preserve all his dark powers to rule over the planet, Deroon, which is the largest planet in the whole universe. And for that, he needs all his nine shorns (super natural souls) under his control, out of which one is missing. Even after a prolonged search for more than a thousand years, he is not able to find it. To prevent anyone from misusing it against him, he starts capturing all the kingdoms in search of it. And one of the kingdoms amongst those is Rajbad, ruled by Sultan Ibrahim Thodi. Before the war of Rajbad, Ibrahim writes a letter to Sultan Mohammed Tughur of Aumaria for help. But the Aumarians do not reply. So Ibrahim has to fight the war alone a...
Higher Algebra is ready to deal with more innovative & modern treatments of higher algebra. This is a comprehensive textbook for beginners and junior school students. A chapter begins with an introduction and then defines the various concepts it covers. Students are provided with examples for each definition to assist them in understanding it. Additionally, students will improve their practical skills by completing the exercises at the end of each chapter.
About the Book: The book has been designed to cover all relevant topics in B.E. (Mechanical/Metallurgy/Material Science/Production Engineering), M.Sc. (Material Science), B.Sc. (Honours), M.Sc. (Physics), M.Sc. (Chemistry), AMIE and Diploma students. Students appearing for GATE, UPSC, NET, SLET and other entrance examinations will also find book quite useful. In Nineteen Chapters, the book deals with atomic structure, the structure of solids; crystal defects; chemical bonding; diffusion in solids; mechanical properties and tests of materials; alloys, phase diagrams and phase transformations; heat treatment; deformation of materials; oxidation and corrosion; electric, magnetic, thermal and op...
