People where I work now think I'm in an entirely different department - PE stands for Process Engineer at my company, not Professional Engineer. A far cry from the compliance role I'm currently in. :)

I'm guessing I threw down around 2k for the fees, books, and review class. Thank God I passed on the first try!

I wanted to cry with relief when I got my pass notice - just the thought that I wouldn't have to hole up in my bonus room again for 12 straight weeks without seeing my family was enough to make me practically lose it. I started shrieking when I saw the results at work and my coworker ran over...

At least some states go ahead and issue you a number right away, without having to wait for a certificate ceremony. I know NC is like that. That makes it easy.

I agree - just having an idea of which books to buy was a HUGE help in the process!

So what are everyone's plans now that they know the results? First course of action for me: steak dinner with my wonderful husband who put up with back-to-back FE and PE exams for the last year! It does make you appreciate the people who supported you. :)

Anyone else start doing a happy dance when they saw their license number on the NCBELS website? I did. :party-smiley-048:

Nice "Happy Dance" icon - that's what I was doing yesterday too!

Wow - Environmental went down from 73% after the October 2010 exam to 60% after the April 2011 exam. I wonder why the big change?

I guess it depends on your study style. Personally, I hate tabs in books, except to mark very specific tables. I found they actually distracted me more during the studying process than not. I learned where to find things in the indices of each book, and that helped me a lot more. My degree...

Those were the 2 most nerve-wracking minutes of my life logging into NCEES - but I PASSED TOO!!!!!

The NCBELS website says our results will come via an email from NCEES. We can then log in to NCEES to see our results. I expect they will post the license numbers, but not until after NCEES releases the results to us. Check out the link: http://ncbels.org/ 05/11/11 - 2011 Exam Results...

This is new. Posted on the North Carolina Board of Examiner's Website: http://ncbels.org/ 05/11/11 - 2011 Exam Results Beginning with the April 2011 Engineering and Surveying Examinations NCEES will be emailing all results directly to the examinees from their office. Those who did not supply...

Let's see, in 35 days, I managed to join a gym, planted my summer garden, completed 3 new flower beds in my yard, replaced all the ignition coils in my car, and managed to find a new job. Been busy. :)

I have to agree with you, particularly as it relates to practical experience. I work in manufacturing, and I have the least amount of respect for Process Engineers with PhD's compared to any other Process Engineer coming from a 4 year college. PhD's, in my experience, have a really difficult...
