anybody?

From my understanding, most, if not all states require 4 years of work experience for one to officially earn the P.E. license (provided they do not have an advanced degree). Also, the way I understood the process is that another P.E. "petitions" for you to get a P.E. and describes your work for...

Most (95%+) of my work is at a desk, with the rest being more of field observations (ex: replacing transformer, does the new one fit in the same footprint, etc) Tests are done by technicians, or outside company technicians. Most of the design work that I do involves purchasing components or...

So did you get to develop your own testing methodologies, as well as work on design? Most testing positions I have seen do involve hands on things, but the testing engineer just gives results (of a test that is either procedural, or something some other engineer developed) to a design person...

My supervisor has a BSEET, and he could (but didn't) get a PE if he wanted to. I think many states also recognize other states' PE licenses, so I wouldn't worry.

Not sure if this is the right subforum, but it was the most appropriate place I could think to post in. Does anyone know if there are any engineering jobs (in general) that are hands on, but also involve technical knowledge? R&D? Most jobs that I have seen (where I work, where my friends...

Exam taken: Electrical and Electronics Educational background: BSEE, graduated 1.5 years ago. Currently working in power industry, but in an I&C position. How long did you study? Roughly 6 months. For the first 1.5 months, did about 2 hours a day starting with topics I found...

Working on it right now :)

Not sure if one of these threads has already been made, but I thought this would be helpful. Perhaps people can reply in this fashion, such that future readers may find it easy to see the information they are looking for. Exam taken: Educational background: How long did you study? Did you...

Approx. $550 in books. Self studied, it was soul crushing at times... Plus side: got reimbursed!

got reimbursed for my books/study materials. not sure about the pay raise; i know my company does not have a fixed amount for the PE, so we'll see.

still need to wait until I get my 4 years done, but I am glad the test is over with

Passed Electrical and Electronics! Glad that is over!

I think I found an error in the E&E sample questions. I posted my understanding and proposed solution below. If I am mistaken, please let me know. For problem 10 on page 42-5, the following solution is given: The NAND/NOT realization is incorrect. There should be an additional NOT...

Great advice! I'm freaking out with the exam just a few weeks away...but I think this is a great idea. I'll definately do this as I go through the practice tests.
