Could you please learn to post correctly so I don't have to go up the thread to figure what the hell you are responding to?
BS mechanical engineering. MS mechanical and aerospace engineering (design and manufacturing)
No, and I don't intend to. Thusly I never took the PE exam. It's just an exam, anyone with test taking skills to get an engineering degree should be able to pbutt it. However I currently work in the medical device field.
Not at all. And budgets don't enter this discussion at all. I am dealing with roads that are already built, complete. done. Not roads to be.
The tragedies were caused by different things. I don't know why you want this distracting side tagent, but I'll entertain it for one post.
#1 was caused by operating the solid rocket boosters -outside- their conventional operating range. If you believe the offical story. This was a management problem of ship it, and make my bonus. Putting dates above safety. Now if you believe some alternative theories then there are some fundamental design issues with the thruster controllers.
#2 was due to a problem that was thought to be harmless. This caused engineers to re-evaluate their buttumptions. Something your PE friends here on usenet aren't doing. They see a road with safe traveling 75mph traffic and pound their feet about how their buttumptions and calculations should govern, and the speed limit has to be 55mph. Never mind that actual data shows 75mph to be safe.
Why? You just repeated the same crap here.
There are lots of morons in chicago. However underposted speed limits just makes things worse not better.
