As someone not in tech, I have no idea how to refer to my tech friends' jobs
  • At least in civil, the reason is because the professional engineer (PE) stamps all plans and assumes responsibility for said plans by doing so. Plans cannot be built without a stamp. This is the case because someone has to be found liable if a bridge should kill people, and it shouldn't be the technicians, designers or EITs under the PE, because they don't make nearly as much. With great pay comes great liability.

  • I think that's only a civil engineering thing.

    Source: work in the industry, and "Civil Engineer" and "Professional Engineer" are legally protected titles. Other than that, it's fair game. Like, there are "Design Engineers" in the civil sector that don't have their Professional Engineer certification.

    Sevilla Station

    Quick photo I managed to capture as we were leaving the Sevilla train station, headed into the blistering heat of last summer.

    Sevilla was a spectacular city, full of history, culture, and honey-sweet moments.
