Personal life is good. I actually just did a "Global Stability Analysis" - I like the geo stuff. problem is i need more course work at this point. college was awhile ago and doing real geo work is lots-o-liability - so A-game is always needed. Haven't found a local college offering classes...

This was not a cut on regulation side engineers - although it is hard to find a real regulatory engineer - i've never meet so many people who call themselves engineers and never even went to engineering college or took an EIT, etc. I can't stand reviewers that know so little that you are having...

i believe there is a whole section for this topic. regardless the lindeburg manual is key for reference - and the 5 minute solutions are good for review.

I received my PE a couple of years ago. I have about 10 years CE experience - mostly land development. I also have about 5 years experience with the dot com world doing programming in C, and various LISP(s). Anyway, the point is I thought that getting my PE would also mean that I would get...
