What is the Lapace transfomer?

Physics 1984. But in all honesty have worked longer as a ski instructor than a physicist 🙂

Laplace Transform

 

[Alcaid]

I'll be an engineer in a couple weeks, does that count? 😉
Not EE though... Petroleum technology.

 

[SY]

Nope. Never had an engineering course in my life. And yes, it shows.

 

[Bgt]

Electronic Engineer since 1980

 

[Cal Weldon]

Not an engineer but I do teach them from time to time. These would be civil and structural engineers, looking to learn about roofing.

<---Mat E in training.

Expected grad. date: December 2006

Actual grad. date: ...well, lets just say Iowa State is gonna be pretty happy for a while.

danvan,

If you loaded yourself with say 18 to 21 credits hours, then you would have gotten a bargain. 😀

Maybe I should go back and check out the New Howe Hall, etc.

 

[Dennis Hui]

That's easy:
If you know how to perform a Laplace transform and how to use it, then you are an engineer.

p.s. I am an EE.

Hehehe...I have many friends who know the Laplace transform...
and can't be trusted with changing a light bulb.

Dennis
(Not an engineer...don't remember much about the Laplace
transform...and can just barely change a light bulb...)

Is it true that in Canada, there is no such thing as licensed engineer? i.e., one you've got your engineering degree, you can call yourself an enginner. Is that true?

 

[danvan]

Its beautiful, and best of all they built a brand new building right next door for us Material Engineers!

Any yeah...kinda wishing I had taken more credits earlier...

I'm not sure, but I think P.Eng is the licensed engineer
designation in Canada.

I now have a electrical engineering degree but iam not a licensed engineer. I have to pass a cert. test and have a minimum of 3 years (it might be 4 years, they keep changing it) to get my P.Eng designation. With the P.Eng you are a full engineer with all the responsibility and legal liability that that comes with. Iam not sure of the exact rules to pass the P.Eng but your 3-4 years of experience have to meet some minimum standard and has to be done under the watchful eye of another P.Eng

 

[gengis]

danvan,
That's great!

Frank Kaiser still teaching?

 

[simon5]

In Quebec, you are Engineer Jr. for two years under the supervision of an Engineer.

Titles are: ing. jr and ing.

I'm halfway into my Bachelor degree in Computer Engineering.

 

[fcel]

I guess I heard it wrong then. US & Canada have the same system - Licensed Engineer (P. Eng).

 

[danvan]

gengis,

no clue, what department was he in?

 

[gengis]

danvan,

MSE--that one you are currently enrolled in.

If you know how to perform a Laplace transform and how to use it, then you are an engineer.

I used to know that (and could probably be reminded). I have an honours degree in mathematical statistics (all down to a choice of an 8 AM or a noon class in 4th year), and half of an EE degree (a work term turned into a full-time job)
