i was able to pass without it, i think the little you need to know about asphalt can be found in the CERM

i took the transportation afternoon session, and i absolutely would NOT recommend it for anybody who doesn't do transportation work. i really don't get why people think it's easier than the other disciplines, there's a TON of stuff you have to know how to do in order to pass the test.

a list like this is good for getting to know the references, but don't rely on it during the test...on top of it being a drain on valuable time, you should know your references well enough by then so that you wont need to refer to a list to figure out where something is

you're going to have to find a hard copy somewhere

get ALL of the reference material and know ALL of them intimately. also get Chen's civil engineering manual, that helped me on a bunch of questions. and the CERM is a must have. the most important thing is dont memorize how to do practice problems, figure out how they're solved and why...

wait...does that mean janitors can no longer call themselves "sanitation engineers?"

Maine only has one site, so i couldn't tell you

TI-30XS for the PE, the FE was way too long ago, i have no idea what i used (probably my TI-89 if they allowed them)

i HIGHLY recommend Chen's Civil Engineering Handbook for anybody taking the civil test http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/084930958...x_ya_oh_product i was able to answer probably 5-6 questions that i wouldn't have been able to answer without this book. i did trans. afternoon but this book...

yeah, from the sounds we can practice whatever type of engineering we want, but we're "expected" to practice in our field of knowledge. and yeah that last sentence is confusing.

found this Professional Engineers licensed under the Act are expected to practice within their area of competence. The Act makes no specific designations as to the branches of engineering practice for which certificates of licensure are issued. The Board recognizes each accredited branch of...

huh, interesting, i'll have to check it out. not that i plan on doing anything else anytime soon, but i'm curious now.

I had an interesting question raised to me last night that I didn't know the answer to...somebody asked me "since you have your civil PE license now, does that mean you could theoretically go get an electrical or mechanical engineering job and use your PE there? or does it only count towards...

yup, got it in the mail yesterday with the wallet card. it doesn't come framed though, but i didn't really expect it to for $40.
