I am a Journeyman Pipefitter in Canada working in oil and gas and I would like a career change. My days consist of reading engineered isometrics to build piping modules that will be taken to site and pieced together. I've worked on some small projects in the past (4000 weld inches or so) where we were just given P & IDs and got to design all the piping ourselves, build it in a piping program called Acorn and then put it all together. It kicked ass having a hand in design. I'd like to go deeper down this hole and get into working with the engineering processes and I feel with my current experience it would compliment an engineering degree massively.
What sort of engineer does this? Mechanical? Recommendations of schools in Canada?
