If you're going to spend 4 years in school, I would strongly suggest that you bite the bullet and do a traditional engineering degree. Most of the technicians in my firm are straight CADD techs with some type of associate degrees, with a few who hold bachelor's similar to what you described...

TX emailed me the test result on Dec 13th. I went online that day to the Texas Board site and my number showed up already and status displayed as Active.

Hey guest, I just gave that to my buddy who'll be taking it next April. Sorry!

I did Test Masters and their binder helped a lot for the afternoon session. I wouldn't trust everything they say about "this will not be on the exam, don't bother" though cause sure enough, stuff showed up. I'd study everything. If test master is in your area you should at least check it out...

I passed! First time taker PE Civil - Transpo-- I got a 70% I barely escaped!!

I just got an email from the Texas Board this morning. I passed!! I took PE Civil + Transpo depth

I just got my result this morning through email from the Texas board. I passed!! This was my first attempt.

I thought the morning portion absolutely destroyed me. I walked in feeling pretty confident, but that quickly changed after the fist half hour. I took the entire morning and had to guess on a lot of them--especially the word problems. I did not feel good about it at all. If I had to guess...
