There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."
