I have both, a MSEE that I earned in 1986 and PE that I earned in July 2007. As to which is more valuable, well that all depends upon your personal situation. When I did interview with other companies they looked favorably upon a MSEE. May be they would have looked upon a PE license just as...

I took the ECC portion and this is what I did. I started studying 9 months prior to the exam and I will guess an average of about 3 hours an day. I did not have a set study schedule. I bought the "the other board" EERM, Practice Problems, 6 Minute Solutions, and Sample Exam. I then bought...

I design Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) control systems for test facilities that test materials for use in Naval Nuclear Propulsion Systems. Prior to that, I was an engineer in a group that designed control systems for nuclear powered submarines. The job did not require me to get a PE...

If that is the common base amp problem, then the answer I get is a voltage gain of about 50. Which is not the books answer. Is this close to the answer you get?

I passed, first try Electrical ECC. Thank you to all those who took the time to answer my questions. Now it is my turn to give back. I have 30 years working experience, MSEE, and seven years community college teaching experience. I will answer, to the best of my ability, any electrical...

I do not think that location matters. I live in Saratoga County and as of today I have not seen my results, but a person who lives a few miles from me did get result several days ago.

Has anyone a recommendation for a technical dictionary? One that would be useful for the ECC PM portion of the test.

Other that the review material sold by NCEES, "the other board" and Kaplan what other publishers sell review material which can be purchased?

I will be taking the ECC exam in the afternoon. Should I bring copies of the Smith Chart and graph paper?

The solution for NCEES Sample Question #537 shows the formula as Erms = SQRT(k*T*R*delta f). The formula in the EERM (Camara, 6th edition, page 42-2) is Erms = SQRT(4*k*T*R*delta f). I do not understand why there is a difference of a factor of 4 under the square root. Can anyone explain this...

Let's keep it simple for now.

I need a recommendation for a book on AC and DC electric machines. I never took a course on AC and DC electric machines. I plan on taking the ECC in depth module so I will need to understand enough to pass the AM portion. My current job does not involve AC and DC electric machines and no one...
