How about petroleum engineering. Big $$$ and lots of demand.

OMG !!! Is that the process in TX? In NY I sent mine in, I had no PE references, and I got a response back in about a month saying I was approved.

I completely agree. I would say a large number of PE exam takers (yours truly here included) are married with wife and young children. Whether or not we are "young" is a matter of opinion but I CAN say I put in at least 300 hours studying for the exam. And I don't sit around at the office with...

I hate to break it to you, but the double integrals are covered as part of multivarible calculus that most first year engineering and physics or math students would have learned in their first year of college. Higher level math means topics such as partial differential equations, algebraic...

No I don't know what you are talking about. Even NCEES says the FE tests undergraduate knowledge typically found in the first two years of undergrade studies. It is not a difficult test, very very broad but by no means deep. I gave a link to the high passage rate of the FE exam which clearly...

I went to MIT as an undergrad. There is no industrial engineering department. Industrial engineering falls under the Sloan School of Management which also includes program in Operations Research. For what it is worth a lot of schools only require GRE for foreign graduate students. I took it in...

The OP has a graduate degree in computer science and work experience in chemistry. Computer science students are some of the most math savvy people I know. I don't know what advance math you are referring to but on the FE the math is about first year calculus at the college level. I didn't see...

For most states you need to register for the FE exam about 5-6 months prior. So I think you are SOL as far as October 2010 is concerned. The best (and only acceptable) review book for the FE exam is the bible by Lindeburg published by PPI. You will also need to buy the engineering reference...

Please, here are the facts. Statistics show that most (about 3/4 of the people) pass the FE exam on their first try. Check out here: http://theprofessionalengineer.com/2010/02...xam-pass-rates/ What this tells me is that if you study you will pass if you don't you won't. The raw score for...

I got the passing grade from Castle Testing exactly two weeks ago. I just saw my name on the NYS website with a license number this morning. So it does take several weeks for them to get everything going. THe DMV is much more efficient. A month ago I lost my drivers license. I went to the DMV...

It really depends on the particular state. But if they say they require an ABET bachelors degree then a masters will not do, even if the school where you got the masters is ABET accredited. THe masters degree WILL give you one year of work experience that you can apply towards the work...

I took the latest format and passed it the first try. I used the Camara (yes the big monster) and also the accompanying exercise book. The questions in those are not really anything like the actual exam but they do reinforce the concepts fairly well. I did all the problems in the exercise book...

Part of the FE exam is ability to use common sense instead of having your head buried in your calculator all the time. If you have more intuition about the problem sometimes it saves you valuable time and also stupid calculator mistakes. In this case -120 < -210 is the same as 120 < -30...

Is that the one taught by Professor Callen? I took a class in optics from him when I was a grad student at Georgia Tech.

Are those raw scores or scale scores ?
