In most countries Engineers are protected by law (similar to accountants, lawyers and doctors in UK), in all these countries Engineers command respect.
Who is responsible for the situation in the UK, is it government ? is it a weak engineering council?
With fewer and fewer graduates studying engineering surely action needs to be taken to promote the image of the profession, what better than legal protection for Engineers.

My friend read this article saying that men are getting female birth control through the water system. He states that when women who are on the birth control pee, they are releasing chemicals into the water supply that do not disapear in the filtration.

OK, I can see why he's paranoid ... but that got me paranoid about medicine senior citizens flush down the toilet. My dad was a lung transplant patient, and I was always flushing medicine that indicated "should not be touched" down the toilet ... and if there is any truth to the "Birth Control" then I would imagine more dangerous medicine is in the water supply.

I know that diesel is generally cheaper than gas, and that diesel engines seem to last longer and are slightly more efficient, but is there any one or two overriding reasons from an engineering standpoint that large vehicles are usually designed to burn diesel instead of gas (I know that diesel stinks & tends to pollute more, so presumably that is why we don't see more diesel cars)?

The footings of certain structure were designed using 3000psi, this was before the soil report was available. When the soil report became available, it turned out that the actual soil bearing capacity was less than the assumed by the structural engineer, 1500 psi only.

I'm faced with a situation where I need to calculate the force that will be exerted on a pipe due to the passage of a certain fluid through it, as well as the clamping force required to hold the pipe in place, so I thought that knowing how to calculate the friction between the material of the piping and the fluid on the one hand, as well as the clamping material on the other, would allow me to grasp the specifics of the situation.

What is the ballpark cost for a boundary survey? I am getting one in the next couple weeks. How do I know if I am getting a good surveyor? What do I look for? Will a boundary survey resolve issues with neighbors that claim parts of my yard are their property? Is there anything that can be done about a neighbor putting their trash (old tires, old bathtub, 2 junk cars, tractor, etc) practically in my backyard? He claims it is his land but its past the tree boundaries and into my yard. He also claims the addition on my home is 2 inches from his property line. The other neighbor claims my driveway is on her property as well as the wooden swing. The addition, driveway and swing were put there by the previous owners. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
