Civil/Environmental Engineer - Yes, I do have a B.S. in Engineering. I am also a student at William & Mary working towards my MBA.

TheJaf, I graduated from VA Tech in May 2001 in Environmental Engineering. Periodically, my professors would bring us over to where you work for hydrology reports, etc. It's too bad I never met up with you.

Cheers,

Stephen

I am a Manufacturing/ Project Engineer for Branson Ultrasonics. We design and build plastic joining equipment. Some of our machines have welded the water resistant Kodak cameras, the full size Dodge Ram tail lights, toner cartridges for HP and Lexmark, charcoal canisters, windshield washer bottles, radiator overflow tanks, shower heads, plastic coffee cups, and intake manifolds! (Too bad none are for the Small Block Chevy!)

I get assigned a project and cover/watch over it "from cradle to grave." I interact with the salesmen, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, and the guys in the shop, trying to meet the delivery date. I also inspect the machines before they leave. It is fun most of the time. Some times it can be a little stress full.

Hey John,
I just purchased one of those cameras. The Kodak DC5000. The water resistant feature was one of the main selling points to me. Hope you guys did a good job!!! :D

My favorite former job title was when I was growing up on our ranch in Colorado. We raised registered Polled Hereford bulls for breading stock and shipped them to a 5 state area.

That made me a "BULL SHIPPER!"

In my former life, I owned a professional recording studio. Remember that annoying rap song "Whoot, There It Is !"? That was me. Sorry :(

im not for sure where you got you numbers, but if thats the way it is in north carolina. you need to come to texas. every school around here is a 4 years bach. and 2 additional years to get your masters. yes it is a professinal degree. in fact the school i go to offers a 5 year pro. masters degree. or a 6 year duel degree of , master of arch and bach. of civil eng. after you get out you have to intern for 3 years to meet national certification then you can be registered in almost any state. where are you thinking about going?

Actually the phrase "Whoot ! There it is !" started in strip clubs in Florida.

So you can guess what the "IT" is :)
