I have also received a few negative comments from the
Director of Engineering at the facility where I work
with regard to SBE Certification. According to him
"It don't mean nothing" and "its a waste of time and
money". Fortunately the local chapter provides
encouragement to all menbers who are interested in
obtaining certification.
