Hello Guys, I'm looking for information on how to attain the true blue professional/charter engineer status which is recognized by PEB. Not the common kuching kurak engineer title that you see plastered all over jobsDB everyday. After spending 11years doing general engineering work which isn't really relevant to anything I am thinking of going into some specialization. I need some concrete information to start out that path to attain it. For a person with a decent electrical engineering honors degree(but with no relevant experience), which trade to be in, where or which companies to start out from and how to proceed?. (in case u are wondering, i'm generally asking about the milestones needed, not asking how to work haha) I hear from some friends I need to join consultancy companies as a first step, obtain enough years experience, write enough peer reviewed papers or significant contribution to local engineering community to get the recognition, and thereafter must maintain currency etc...? Thats all quite brief though without the where's and hows, which shows they are not too sure either. Any of you guys have good information, or good sites i can look up?

Read the following article from the ST Forum today. Basically IES will be fighting a uphill battle trying to encourage locals taking up engineering as a career. Stepping stone yes but to practice hardcore engineering until retirement maybe not for most. Sad fact is engineering is not that glamorous nor sexy a career as compared to say accounts or banking. Remuneration package is unattractive unless you are in a very specialised field say the oil & gas sector. Even PEs also pai tan with many consultancies in the industry all fighting over the few available jobs. From ST Forum: Efforts to revive interest in engineeringPublished on Feb 10, 2014 WE THANK Mr David Goh for raising an issue that is critical to the future of Singapore ("Revive interest in engineering"; Jan 30). It is true that we need to continue to pull in the brightest students into engineering, to keep our infrastructure robust, our economy competitive and retain a high quality of life. Compared with 30 to 40 years ago, it is a challenge now to get students to choose to study engineering, and to encourage engineering graduates to pursue engineering as a career. This is because the younger generation perceives engineering as a harsh and average-paying job that is limited to construction work. In reality, engineering is an exciting, promising and greatly rewarding profession. As global problems such as climate change and energy shortage become more serious, engineers are increasingly being sought after. Many new engineering disciplines, such as aerospace engineering, environmental engineering and biomedical engineering, have also emerged, offering a myriad of choices and opportunities to make a difference to the world. An engineering career can lead to great things. Many engineers in Singapore have gone on to become captains of industry. Mr Satya Nadella, the new head of Microsoft, is an engineer by training. To alleviate the shortage of engineers, the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES), As the national society of engineers, has been working closely with government agencies to appeal to local young talents to join the profession, through National Engineers Day and other activities. We have also encouraged engineers based overseas to return and work in Singapore. In September last year, IES launched the Chartered Engineer Programme to raise the standards of engineering and the profile of engineers. Through this accreditation, we aim to give qualified engineers the salaries they deserve. In Britain, engineers who are chartered are paid as much as 40 per cent more than their non-chartered peers. With the support of industry players, we are moving in that direction as well. For parents with ambitious and talented children looking for successful careers and the ability to make an impact on the world, it is time to place engineering as a career of choice again.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BKorP55Aqvg i had a feeling of deja vu when i watched this. it really brought back memories of when i was an engineer.... A marvelous video that fully expresses the contrast between an engineer's rational mind and the others he sometimes must encounter at work for whom words are the wind that powers sales. -

Late last June the couple had flown from Montana to Denver to Los Angeles to a colonial-era house in the Chinatown district of Singapore to try to make sense of an unthinkable loss: Shane Todd, a young engineer who had just wrapped up an 18-month stint with a government research institute known as IME, was dead

I have no idea what was wrong with Chrysler engineer, Martin Morse. We have yet to even see a few, if at all, of the 2013 Dodge SRT Viper on our shores or in other parts of the world. Yes, the car was launched just not so long ago, it's the latest Viper from the American automaker Dodge which means it's still a fresh model. Yet, Morse had already ruined one good example of the model. On 22nd April 2013, according to eyewitnesses, the car should have been going at a speed beyond 112km/h on US Highway 23. According to Michigan State Police, the temperature on that day was near-freezing and there was also light rain. The police believed that Morse must have flexed the snake's muscles too hard. Morse lost control of the car, slided across lanes and then hit a fence that separated the highway northbound and southbound lanes. Fortunately enough, the car was pretty low that it managed to get through the upper and middle cables. Unfortunately, being low as it was, the car couldn't get past the bottom cable. I believe that it must have been the bottomcable, a thick braided cord made of steel, that had caused Morse his death, as the cable cut through the car's cabin. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that there was no mechanical fault involved in the incident. So, it seems that Morse had pushed the throttle too much under wrong weather conditions.

Whole life ruined because of 一时 or rather 六百十七次lun buay ge... Another yellow-ribbon candidate From CNA: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1192653/1/.html Former engineer jailed for fibre optic cable sabotage Posted: 02 April 2012 1312 hrs SINGAPORE: A former SingTel engineer has been sentenced to 15 months' jail for taking revenge on his supervisors. 35-year-old Terrance Tan Khoon Shan was convicted of cutting fibre optic cables belonging to OpenNet, in various areas including Clementi, Ang Mo Kio and Toa Payoh, on more than 600 occasions between March and May 2011. OpenNet is a consortium of four companies -- Axis NetMedia, SingTel, Singapore Press Holdings and Singapore Power Telecommunications -- that is building Singapore's ultra-fast fibre broadband network. SingTel is engaged by OpenNet to lay the optic cables at HDB flats islandwide. Tan faced a total of 617 charges but the court proceeded on 60. The court heard that Tan's misdemeanour stemmed from his dissatisfaction after he was terminated by telco SingTel. Tan joined SingTel as an engineer in August 2009 and was terminated a year later on September 2010. Unhappy with his supervisors, Tan decided to sabotage them by damaging the cables. Tan's lawyer had argued that his client was suffering from mental problems but the district judge disagreed. She ruled that Tan did not have a mental disorder and that "he was fully aware what he did was wrong, but he was overcome by his motive to seek revenge". In mitigation, the defence lawyer pointed out that Tan is a first offender and that he has a clean record prior to this. The lawyer argued that his client did not have designs to commit the offences, and asserted that the opportunities presented themselves to Tan. In response, the judge asked if the defence is saying the opportunities presented themselves 617 times. The defence lawyer also asked the court to consider probation but the prosecution objected to this as the offences committed were grave and in Tan's case, unsuitable for probation. The district judge agreed with the prosecution, calling Tan's crimes "senseless acts" which caused much inconvenience to residents who relied on the optic cables and ultimately led to a waste of time and money. The judge stressed that Tan's unhappiness with his supervisor was "not excusable". She sentenced Tan to three months' jail on each of the 60 charges, with five to run consecutively, making for a total of 15 months' imprisonment. Tan could have faced up to three years' jail and a maximum fine of $10,000 for each charge considered. - CNA/wm

TOKYO - A Japanese labor bureau has ruled that one of Toyota's top car engineers died from working too many hours, the latest in a string of such findings in a nation where extraordinarily long hours for some employees has long been the norm. The man who died was aged 45 and had been under severe pressure as the lead engineer in developing a hybrid version of Toyota's blockbuster Camry line, said Mikio Mizuno, the lawyer representing his wife. The man's identity is being withheld at the request of his family, who continue to live in Toyota City where the company is based. In the two months up to his death, the man averaged more than 80 hours of overtime per month, according to Mizuno. He regularly worked nights and weekends, was frequently sent abroad and was grappling with shipping a model for the pivotal North American International Auto Show in Detroit when he died of ischemic heart disease in January 2006. The man's daughter found his body at their home the day before he was to leave for the United States. The ruling was handed down June 30 and will allow his family to collect benefits from his work insurance, Mizuno said. An officer at the Aichi Labor Bureau on Wednesday confirmed the ruling, but declined to comment on the record. In a statement, Toyota Motor Corp. offered its condolences and said it would work to improve monitoring of the health of its workers. There is an effort in Japan to cut down on deaths from overwork, known as "karoshi." Such deaths have steadily increased since the Health Ministry first recognized the phenomenon in 1987. Last year, a court in central Japan ordered the government to pay compensation to Hiroko Uchino, the wife of a Toyota employee who collapsed at work and died at age 30 in 2002. She took the case to court after her application to the local labor bureau for compensation was rejected. In the company I am working now, it's a norm to work over 100hrs of OT per month....

Can anyone help me draw a schematic for the circuit board? Description: There are 3 inputs to the board and 1 output. Input 1: 12 V (Power) Input 2: 0-5V (selector signal) Input 3: Oxygen sensor signal Output: Connected to input 3 if input 2 is less than a threshold. This threshold must be adjustable using a potentiometer or something. If input 2 is above threshold, output normal O2 sensor signal. See if anyone can guess what's this for.
