do you need a college education and engineering degree to be a sanitation engineer

[jcthorne]

Whew.


What makes you think an engineer had enough humor to ad that decal? More likely the truck driver or someone in the transport company.

Yes, ALL engineering positions require a state licence with its requirements. Same as for medical doctors, attorneys and other professionals.

Use of the word 'engineer' in a title or postion without the accreditation is a felony offence. Seriously.

Duh?? the drivers are called sanitation engineers!!!!!!!!!!! It's just a nice descriptor for a dirty job.

just a cute warning...I guess there are levels of engineering, this one may not be high in the food chain :roflblack: but they do follow the same path...:dontknow:

I used the term engineer as an alternative to sh-- scooper. As mentioned it's a nice title for a dirty job. Somebody has to do. :yikes:

No problem with descriptive job titles to cover over bad conotations.

To hang a shingle out and put yourself out to the public as something you are not--that's another thing.

I am a sanitation engineer, AKA Plumber:)

NO. Truck drivers of sewage trucks are NOT sanitation engineers.

An ANYTHING engineer requires completion of a 5 year degree in engineering from an accredited school and passing of a state exam for professional engineers and an apprenticeship period. Its not just a nice title for anyone to use.

Again, using the term engineer as part of ones title or job position without the state certification for an engineer is a felony offence.

I was merely offended by the mockery of my profession the first time. Was hopeful that a bit of education on the subject would turn it around. Now it is becoming personal. I suggest we drop this thread as the terms you used were wrong and derogatory to me and my profession that I take very seriously.



Sorry guys but the incorrect use of the title is just wrong. Has nothing to do with shingles or business cards. Mearly using the term as part of a job title. Its a perception problem that accreditation agencies and professional societies have worked for many years to correct. The laws are on the books in all 50 states and Federal.

Did you loose your sense of humor while you were getting all this professional training? I think this was a joke. Every profession is made fun of, if it offends, sorry.

[NovaSpyder]

I didn't realize job titles were such a sensitive topic. This was meant to be humorous.

Now: "An ANYTHING engineer requires completion of a 5 year degree in engineering from an accredited school and passing of a state exam for professional engineers and an apprenticeship period. Its not just a nice title for anyone to use."

This Is not quite accurate.

We also have Stationary engineers and Operating Engineers that are not within the scope of professional engineers, nonetheless, they are professionals with engineer in their official titles. So good luck telling the Interbational Union of Operating Engineers that they can't use engineer in their title.

My neighbor was an ENGINEER on the railroad and he only graduated high school...Plus he made a GOOD ($$$$) living with no student loans to repay...

[jcthorne]

While I disagree with the above posts and maintain both examples are not in compliance with current law here in Texas, continuing this discussion on a Spyder forum is of no merit. Lets agree to disagree. You find something humorous that I do not. Fine.

Lets go back to discussion of things Spyder.

What's in a title .............................. Acknowledgement, Respect, Admiration, etc. Some folks are more protective of a title than others, some folks worked harder to get a title than others, i try to use a persons title when it warrants use.

Used to live where the honey dippers had the following painted on their trucks.

"Satisfaction Guaranteed or Double Your Crap Back."

My local honey dipper has his trucks labeled "Turdinator I, 2, & 3."

We had a fellow here, who painted this on the side of his truck:
"Your ****, is my bread and butter!"nojoke

Engineers seem to know a little about everything, and a lot about very little..............................See this engineering masterpiece as an example. :roflblack:
