Just got an email with my license #. It's now official. :D

That's ok, they can fly inferior hardware.

Ouch... I'm guessing back in your day you used an abacus and had to calculate pyramid size in cubits?

nsgoldberg Passed PE - Mechanical (M&M) CA

You forgot me! :( ME - Materials and mechanical systems CA :) )))

Damn civils.

So I haven't received anything from CA yet. The website says I passed the PE, but nothing has been mailed, and if I lookup my name, I'm still not listed. Any idea when you get your license number?

Passed, CA, Mechanical - Mechanical Systems and Materials. No score. 1st time. Smott, sorry to hear about your results. I was really hoping you would have passed. But on the upside, your time was much better spent with your Dad than studying for some exam. Family first. There will always be 2...

WooHoo! Officially PRO.

+1 on the shaggy method. Spend the time before the exam to save time during the exam. It's a no brainer. Also had the index printed in a 3-ring binder, with my other notes and whatnot.

^^^yep

sigh.

Also grab the Engineering Unit Conversions book by Lindeberg. It saves a ton of time with conversions (and avoids mistakes). I had Machinery's Handbook and I think I opened it a couple times for machine design questions. But I think I could have done the exam without it.

I was thinking about getting this book, since I hear a lot about it. What is different between it and MERM? Is it really worth getting?

I saw someone at the Pomona Fairplex (CA) getting walked out. Not sure what it was over. Crappy for him though.
