I have to let all my MMC friends know my good news, two years ago I took an engineering exam to specialize in Plumbing engineering and I missed passing it by two points. So, not to be disgruntled, I strived to learn as much as I could over the past two years. This year, when you could take the exam again, I started studying in Feburary, every day at lunch, every evening I would lock myself away in the computer room and study untill 11:00 (basically I put my life on hold). Well, I took the exam again in the middle of April, well I just found out that I passed. It is called the CPD "Certified in Plumbing Design"; here is the official blurb from the ASPE (American Society of Plumbing Engineers) organization.....
The CPD, which is the only international credential program in the plumbing engineering field, sets the standards for leadership within the industry and provides formal recognition of outstanding professionals with advanced skills in the design and specification of plumbing systems.
For me, being in the Mechanical Engineering field, This exam helps me to stand out, sort of specialize in one certain aspect of the Engineering field (that I love and have a passion for - plumbing and Fire Protection). I worked for, now going on 3 years to get this, and I finally got it..... YEA!!!!!!!
. However, as the sun was starting to set, I whipped up a pitcher of mudslides for me and my honey and kicked back on the swing on our back deck and sat back to watch the world go by........
