All true, Mike. I'm lucky to have made it through my first time, but learning from other people's experiences gave me the edge. You need to go in knowing that you will need to dedicate large amounts of with your face in the books. Spend the money on all the practice problems you can get your...

Happy you made the right choice. As for me, I work in construction management and I utilize approximately 0% of my engineering knowledge in my current position. I chose based off of what I was best at in school. It's only been a few months more than four years since I graduated so I still...

Congrats. I also received word that I passed Mechanical - Thermal Fluid Systems in NY this morning. I'm flying high in the clouds right now, haha.

I logged onto the NCEES account and the status changed from scheduled to pass. No email yet.

NY is out. I passed mech TFS!!!

I'll check it out. Haven't reached the Thermodynamics portion of my studying yet but I'll keep it in mind once I get there. I'm sort of shooting from the hip on this one. -John

I'm rusty and studying myself; however,I think the ideal gas hint is the fact that the process is isentropic, is it not? Then you may utilize the heat capacity ratio (1.32 for air @1500ºF) and the EQ: T2 = T1(P2/P1)(1 − 1/γ)

I'm finding the same thing as I work my way through the Lindeburg practice problems. This is what I read and hope it holds true. Though I haven't sat to take it yet, I glanced at the NCEES 2011 TFS practice exam. Maybe it was just the questions I looked at on the random page I flipped to, but...

Just made my choice. Looks like it's going to be Thermal Fluid Systems.
