I just wanted greater background in boiler operation. I've done HVAC design, Plumbing design, Electrical design, Fire Protection design, equipment selection and specifying in all those fields. I've done engineering designs for casinos, schools, prisons, office buildings, Baseball fields, to name but a few, some residential, but mostly commercial and institutional work.
So, I have the experience, but not the paperwork, except my certificate for the black seal course. Can Mechanical Designers without paper credentials apply for pro status here?
