    Sitting at a Desk

    I have worked for Utilities and Contractors that work for Utilities and know what you mean by moving around more. Gets old sitting at a desk all day. First Id say get your PE before you leave. It will help you land a job at a Utility easier (If you don't already have it). I never use mine but...

    Programming Experience

    I took the Computer PE last year and sort of had the same experience as you. I graduated with a CompE degree and worked for an Electric Utility for 5 years. My major roles were programming and SCADA work all of which related to power distribution. I had no problems in getting accepted to take...

    PE Computer Preparation

    I doubt it, there really was not very much stuff on networking and from the percent breakdown its only worth 10% and 5% of that should have been covered in the class. The only thing that might help is a network plus book because it talks about different protocols etc. May not even want to study...

    Computer Depth

    Not a problem, after going back and looking at the sample test don't guess I should say surprised. Some really good examples are problems 121, 520, 521 from the sample exam. Really just basic circuits and electronics type stuff. Cant say I really studied at all for those subjects and did not...

    Computer Depth

    Those are both great examples to know well for the test (#510 and #513). I took the real deal last Friday and I can tell you knowing those helped. As for #510 this covers several types of things you might see. But really it is an easy problem to solve. It gives you the Instruction Register...

    FE April 2009

    I took the test last October after being out of school 5 years. I was able to do the morning general easy but the afternoon is way harder because I have never had like 1/2 of the stuff on it (i.e. Thermo, Fluids, Mech & Mat, etc.). Based on what a fellow EE told me I took the afternoon...

    Those were all based off your recommendations, really glad I found this site before I took the test, Thanks! I actually did not think I would use the repairing PC's book at all during my studying but there were some crazy standards type questions on the test and found several in this book.
