Stationary Engineering Schools
Stationary engineers operate mechanical systems that create power, including boiler systems. They are called stationary engineers because the systems don't move from their original position. Stationary engineers must understand how to operate, maintain and repair their systems. They must go to a training school to get their stationary engineer license, which is issued by the American Society of Power Engineers.
