Call me crazy but I just had to do it! Along with my cert are my three passing pencils (Survey Oct '10, 8-Hr Apr '11, Seismic Oct '11). Total cost in supplies = $28.XX after tax (thanks to a 40% off sale at Michael's) (not counting the $275 pencils of course). Time spent creatively figuring out how to fit 3D objects in a 2D frame = 4 hours. Gratification level = Significantly high.

I framed my calculator, too.

I do like the pencils labeled for each test! Looks really good.

That is an excellent display! I will get my certificate this Sunday at a formal ceremony by the OK board. I am pround to have passed the FE and PE the same year but did not know exactly how I should display this. I plan to mount my 2011 FE and PE pencils the same way. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I appreciate it.

Capt, I remember seeing yours. It's been a while but I remember it looking really nice. Can you post a pic again?

[knight1fox3]

I believe you are referring to the Worley Exhibit

[Boomer01 PE]

Looks great!

[Road Guy]

At some point in time we will move both these pics to the hall of fame thread!

Thanks for finding that. I'd lost the pic for one reason or another.

Someone should post that on pinterest!

[pesquared]

Ptatohed - love how you framed your certificate & momentos.

[sledgeconcrete]

I put my pencils and calculator in a Ziplock this weekend so that when I get my letter saying that I passed I will have them available for framing.

You wouldn't necessarily receive a different colored pencil for each exam within the same administration. But if you read my Post #1 and zoom in to the dates on the pencils, you'll see the pencils are from three different administrations.

Very nice Display!!! I might have to copy this, although my first and last pencils were my "passing" pencils.

[The Wizard]

Cool thread. I look forward to the day I can do something like this....

[dana]

Congratulations, I will do the same!

[mkt1]

Wouldn't it make more sense to write what your PM breadth section was instead of 8 hour, next to NCEES?

 

But yeah this is enginerdness to the max - AWESOME and congrats!

[bseepeguy]

Nice job! How did you mount the pencils?
