hahaha.. don't fight over small thing..

do u know.. word engineer itself is miss used.. if i have time i will try to source back the info i got.. but literally it about this.

engineer, lawyer, account,doctor (medical) and few others are lavel as professional jobs which is not anyone can claim to be one.

however.. currently.. if u look at malaysia.. designation of engineer are widely abuse.even up to sales engineer.. why not call them technical sales executive.. ? that why we mix up with the term engineer.. and why fres grad can easilliy work as engineer..

few company in malaysia are no longer call their bach degree in engineering staf as engineer and merely just call then technical executive or mechanical/electrical executive..

back to TS question...

it depend.. people ask me what the differences in between becoming / obtain PHD in engineering and becoming PE in engineering?

for me.. it just purely for satifaction.. u learn 4-5 years in engineering program.. and finaly.. a govern body recognize u a Engineer.. is like having a degree in law but unable to attend court ... u know theory.. u can calculate.. u know everything.. but u can tell the world and approved it..

my boss (GM) ain't PE.. but his sub coordinate (manager) is PE.. both in electrical.. PE do not guarentte anything.. experience and ki$$@$$ do..
sorry..

depend on certain people..

i do have this sort of thinking previously.. either to proceeds with PE or to continue into professional cert? (BTW i lost both =)) )

if u are manufacturing engineer.. working with production line.. do u thing having PE suite u? or do u really thing u can obtain PE by just write into ur log book?

obtaining PE itself is not an easy task..
