If you look like an engineer, you are accepted into the fold with open arms. I agree there are enough checks and balances in place that your errors will be reworked.

SUNY at Buffalo offers an ACCREDITED ONLINE Engineering Degree. Don't know who it's accredited by, probably another engineer.

The more I learn about technology and mechanics the more I am surprised that any of this stuff works for very long or that we depend on it with our lives. An airplane is an aluminum skin over a bunch of parts and wires with fuel all over the place. Then you attach two engines that work by having air forced through them and we stick 200 people in it and fly it 30,000 feet in the air at 500 miles per hour. Then we're surprised when one crashes? There is no magic fairy dust.

I work in the pharma industry at one of the biggest companies. Lots of engineers here are idiots. Too many checks and balances for one guy to make a critical/deadly mistake. And too much money for anyone to care about the waste. If I had the document I could double my tech pay and no one would question my ability. Keep up the good work.

As long as there is someone to ask "hey come here and look this over for me" you should be "good to go". Maybe a career in politics is in your future!

This is actually a GE LM2500 gas turbine engine. LM stand for land and marine. They're used to produce power for small towns, sea ships, oil rigs out at sea, etc. Since they're not airborne, the parts can be heavier and more robust. My job is to recommend overhaul repairs. I have no engineering degree, but do know what I'm doing.

This is the OP again. I know what I'm doing when I do the engineering part of things- I've actually made some suggestions that have been implemented. It's the weird-ass billing system, purchasing system and all that shit that I'm having difficulties with- in other words, the non-engineering parts of this. Over the past month or so I've picked up a lot of knowledge on the engineering side of things- this is an extremely specialized little field that I'm in, so it's not the sort of thing we covered in classes.
But I do still feel a bit overwhelmed and confused by some of this. My current project is one that I've come into halfway through, with equipment I know nothing about. It's like being handed a half-rebuilt Mazda with the rotary engine and only a handful of notes and having to direct someone else on how to finish the job.

Hope this is all BS
If you don't know what you are doing get a "Schaum's" - Get a PE refresher book - read instead of posting - work the funny equations w/ the Greek characters in the books. - God, I'm 65 & I still do that - All ENGINEERS do that - It's fun
If you graduated from a real engineering school & took real engineering courses you should know what you are doing.

I love it how people expect engineers to be these magical beings who don't make mistakes and create flawless designs.
I don't expect perfection. I expect engineers to know how to find and fix errors.

I was in this same situation a few years ago. Most engineers have no clue what they are doing. They just write some chicken scratch equations on a page and feel good about solving the problem.

I get a big phat paycheck for clearing up the mess you so-called engineers leave behind when behind procedures & policies.
Please don't improve. Thank you.

I too felt WAY over my head, at first, in my current position. (I'd moved from warehouse/receiving to purchasing). At first I thought: Holy $h1t! What have I gotten myself into! But having a boss who believes in me, and gives me guidance when I need it, has made all the difference. The learning curve was VERY steep. I was immersed in a very hectic, multitasking day, sometimes having to deal with aggravated, hostile co-workders. Here is some of the things that I've learned. 1). God is near to the humble. Ask for his Help, and you will find the motivation and skills that you need in each circumstance. 2). For every problem there is a solution. Be still, seek His inspiration, and, you will find it!!! 3). When someone approaches who needs help, even if they are only a janitor, yield to the moment and give the best assistance you can. We reap what we sow, and we often have to give before we can receive. 4). The continuing, day to day, pursuit of excellence will yield tremendous success long term. After 5 years I am now very respected among my peers, those whom I oversee, and my associates in other companies. Integrity. A good work ethic. Consideration for the trials of others. An eager willingness to learn and serve. If you can cutivate these traits, and be open to continuing challenges and growth, your success is guaranteed.

A cross sectional view of a 16 stage axial-flow turbine engine....It's easy to see when an engineer is a phoney by what he puts on paper.It's very hard to resist a good brown noser.

bullshitting your way through work is the american way!
and don't worry, the one or two people who actually know what they are doing and give a shit will do ALL the work and take ALL the responsibility while everyone else hones their "professional pretender" skills.

It appears that this is a turboshaft jet engine with two intakes and no transmission shaft. Good thing you don't work for Sikorsky.

I'm the original poster on this.
The machinery I work on is for sewage treatment. What I do is really not dangerous to anyone- but I'm not familiar yet with the machines, so there's a lot I don't know about. Also, as an engineer I've not been exposed to a lot of things that are coming into play right now, such as tolerances and different classifications of steel alloys and bearings. The learning curve is pretty steep.
And yes, I am a very good bullshitter, enough so to do the job despite the fact that I'm learning as I go.

If the machines you build could possibly kill people due to human error in their design, you should stop. Don't kid yourself. Stop. You don't want innocent blood on your hand. Do something you enjoy.
