MS-Degree → Pros & ConsMS-Degree → Pros & Cons Proponencies

• Only 1-1.5 Years After BS Degree

• Qualified for Some Research Positions

• Not “Over Qualified” for Most BS Positions– Still have Large

Selection of Employers & Locations

Contraries• Not Sufficient

Qualifications for Pure Research Positions

• Extra Work without earning a Title– You’re Still a “Mr.” or

a “Ms.”

• Only about 25% up the Prestige Ladder



PhD-Degree → Pros & ConsPhD-Degree → Pros & Cons Proponencies

• Qualified for the Highest Positions

• The Chance to Do ORIGINAL Research

• Statistically Best Compensation

• Top of the Prestige Ladder– Instant Credibility

Contraries• May be Considered

“Over Qualified” for Many Positions– Severely Contracts

the Employer & Location Sets

• 3-4 YEARS of INTENSE Academic Training after the BS– No Salary, Large

Student Loans

What is it? → Short Answer• Understand the Needs of the CUSTOMER

• To Design the ARCHITECTURE of a MULTI-ELEMENT SYSTEM (Product and/or Service)

• Then LEAD Product DESIGN, PROTOTYPING, TESTING, and INTRODUCTION

• Lead by Determining WHO will do WHAT by WHEN and for HOW MUCH-$

What IS a System?What IS a System? A system is a construct or collection of DIFFERENT

ELEMENTS that TOGETHER produce results NOT OBTAINABLE by the ELEMENTS ALONE.

The elements, or parts, can include PEOPLE, HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, FACILITIES, POLICIES, and DOCUMENTS

The RESULTS include SYSTEM Level qualities, Properties, Characteristics, Functions, Behavior and PERFORMANCE.

The VALUE ADDED by the system as a whole, beyond that contributed independently by the parts, is primarily CREATED by the RELATIONSHIP AMONG THE PARTS; that is, how they are interconnected

WHY Systems Engineering?WHY Systems Engineering?

Modern Heavily-Engineered Products are Highly INTERDISCIPLINARY

UNDERSTANDING and DESIGN of Complex-Component INTERACTION is AS IMPORTANT as the Components themselves

SOMEONE has to have a View of the Product From the CUSTOMER/USER Perspective



SysEngr CharacteristicsSysEngr Characteristics

A TRUE Technical Position• NOT a “Program MANAGER”

Some Synonyms• Project Engineer

• System Architect (my Favorite)

• Product Engineer

• Company Upper-Management



System Performance System Performance Design RulesDesign Rules

USERS of Heavily Engineered systems generally do not specify the detailed performance requirements for the Hardware & Software that comprise the system. Instead the CUSTOMER (often another Engineer) specifies PERFORMANCE criteria such as ThruPut, OutPut Quality, DownTime, etc.

System Engineers translate the CUSTOMER PERFORMANCE Requirements into internal HW/SW Design SPECIFICATIONS.

If Not CE, Then Why PE?If Not CE, Then Why PE?

Licensure DISTINGUISHES you from other Engineers

CREDIBILITY when starting your own business or consulting

ONLY PE’s Can use the Terms• Professional Engineer

• Consulting Engineer

• Registered Engineer



If Not CE, Then Why PE? (cont)If Not CE, Then Why PE? (cont) For an engineer, becoming registered or

licensed is comparable to • A Medical Doctor passing the

medical board examination

• An Lawyer passing the bar examination

• An Accountant becoming a CPA

Thus, becoming a licensed engineer grants you an enhanced status in the eyes of the public, and equates you with professionals licensed in other fields.

Only LICENSED PROFESSIONALS are allowed SIGN and SEAL Engineering plans for the Public

Licensure is a sign of COMMITMENT to your PROFESSION

The PE license Enhances your Potential for Salary-Increases and Promotions

Yields a Higher Level of Respect and Credibility among your engineering peers

PE Q&APE Q&A

I want to Take the MetalE Exam, but I need THREE Licensed References, AND MetalE is small discipline that is Not Heavily Registered. HOW can I get the Required Refs?• The PE Act Exempts from Licensed Refs

NonCivil Engineers Practicing in IndustryPlain Language Pamphlet http://www.dca.ca.gov/pels/e_plppe.htm

2: Q26. What constitutes a satisfactory reference in connection with an application?

In California, electrical and mechanical (and other Branches) engineering work performed by employees of the Federal Government, and employees of manufacturing, mining, public utility, research and development, or other industrial corporations is exempt, and thus, such employees may serve as references whether or not they are licensed as long as they are qualified to appraise the technical competency of the applicant.
