Hello,
Do you want to be an examiner on mechanical or electrical cases?
I suspect most electrical cases will be too much of a reach for you. 10 grad courses in ee does not give you much knowledge in ee. In short, I believe you will be "lunched" in ee cases.

Now before you get too upset, I just shed light into how ANY hiring manager will view your credentials (I have hired dozens of engineers, technicians etc.).

If you focus on mechanical cases, where your core knowledge appears to be, then you may have an argument. If you told me, as a hiring manager, you saw both EE and ME as equal areas for you to work in, I would simply move to the next candidate.

Many of my prosecution associates and I regularly prevail over examiners merely on finer engineering points. This is a skill you must have regardof which side of the fence you are working on.
