Engineering Specs: Past & Present

Friday, 08 February 2019 by Keith Kearsley
Bogged down in the day-to-day operations of an engineering firm, its easy to look at engineering specifications as the mundane cost of doing business. But, when one considers the history and direction of ASME, specs can really come alive. They have a long history of helping engineers think and problem-solve creatively, and safely, in keeping with industry best practices.

Product Development & PE Registration: A Profitable Partnership

Thursday, 27 September 2018 by Keith Kearsley
Everyone wants competency in engineering, a focus on public safety, and consistent continuing educations. There are a variety of ways to achieve this, and none of them are fool proof. One method is, of course, professional engineering registration. Registrants are required to meet a variety of stringent state-specific and nationwide standards. However, private sector product development firms of all sizes and across all sectors routinely use alternate methods to achieve the same goals. These companies would save time and money by reconsidering their approach and taking advantage of the existing PE infrastructure to accomplish these goals. Additionally, the National Society of Professional Engineers (www.nspe.org) would better reach its own goals by courting this large swath of vital engineers.

Seismic Resilience – Opportunities For Civil and Mechanical Collaborations

Sunday, 19 August 2018 by Keith Kearsley
We continue to build progressively more seismically resilient structures, but there’s always more we could do. New research done by Dr. Amy Cerato at Oklahoma University supports the use of helical piles. She has demonstrated that these piles outperform conventional materials in dry sand. Her data can be found here, and it is compelling.
