I am not a PE...but I work with allot of them...I work in the field of Architectural Precast Concrete, started in production, in the field erecting then into project management and design...so in all aspects with 30 years+ experience...(I drew my first Sewage treatment plant at age 14, in my ol'man's business)...
By shear exposure, putting out fires and knowing what works and what doesn't...I can design a project from reinforcement, to lifting, to field connections and fixes...I cannot crunch the numbers, but I KNOW the nuts and bolts of it...
I will get a young Engineer design something...when I tell him it won't work...he looks at me like "what the hell do you know"...then I proceed to ask a few key questions in Engineer speak...go check it again...
Electronics are not my forte...but I can believe there are guys like me out there...I do believe an Engineer needs to be involved at some point...but they do not always have practical experience of what actually works...theory is just that at times...theory...
Just my $.02
thanks
Mark
