There has been some "code talk" on the NSPE linkin site; I'd like to direct them HERE if you don't object to having a bunch of engineers coming HERE.

I'm thinking it will be eye opening for "them" to see what code professionals think.
 
I'm guessing that's one vote? Some of these people on NSPE have never picked up a code book, I guess.
 
A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were all given a red rubber ball and told to find the volume.

The mathematician carefully measured the diameter and evaluated a triple integral.

The physicist filled a beaker with water, put the ball in the water, and measured the total displacement.

The engineer looked up the model and serial numbers in his red-rubber-ball table.
 
funny, ICE.. I want the membership to be comfortable with the "them vs us" possibility. We have a local MEP design firm who (apparently) don't invest in code books as one of the electrical designers told me (in front of the owner.. they didn't have proper receptacle spacing) "I though the NEC required 2 receptacles in a dining room.....
 
Thanks Jar.. that's what I thought too.. too many engineer in a room can really lead to them vs. us.. (and I'm still an us, btw).
 
Bring them on, tell them to get their big boy/girl panties on, we don't mess around here.............. :P
 
The goal here is education and the sharing of knowledge, leading to a safer built environment.

Fatboy, do we get extra points if our panties have flowers on them?

That's just darned funny **fatboy** !.....Bring them inja-neers on !........Howdoes an engineer not have a code book, or some type of standard by which

to design to ?

DUH,, they engineered it!!!
 
I had one "like" on the NSPE site.. we'll see if they venture into to "new waters".. thanks all
 
Shhh . . . If you listen quietly, you might hear us engineers reading and posting among you. :o :-D
 
Ummm, my railway engineering chart indicates that the US utilizes Standard Gauge . . . unless you start talking model railroading.
 
Peach ... is absolutely correct..... however, in US history, different Railroads would claim their territory and would use different gauges to prevent the competitor from using their tracks..... this was very apparent in the war between the states as the confederate railroads used a different gauge than the union railroads...
