Does anyone know any good resources to learn a little more about soil conditioning? different types of conditioning and their applications etc. Any help would be appreciated. I would like something web based, or a conference of some sort more than just a text book, but i'll resort to anything...

That's what I was getting at. At the time most universities had just started classes, and most of universities opened their door to tulane students who were from the home state of that university (free of charge.) A&M however opened their doors to any student affected by the hurricane...

Maybe you misread it. In job 2, if he contributes 3% the company will contribute 3%. In order for company 1 to contribute 3% he would have to contribute 12%. How is that better?

I went A&M for the first semester of my senior year (I graduated from Tulane University in '06, but had to attend school elsewhere fall of '05 due to hurricane Katrina.) The people were very nice and accomodating given the circumstances. Everyone did everything they could to make me feel...

Does anyone have any idea how much professional liability insurance costs of an individual, not part of a firm? Just curious.

Any civils out there working directly for one of the big oil and gas companies? At my old job I worked as a consultant doing alot of platform design, but I'm having trouble breaking into the large companies themselves. It seems they only want to hire petroleum, checmical, and mechanical. Any...

I love delusional people who spout off without any knowledge of what they're talking about...Show me someone who would pass at 98%. And you'd be very surprised what it took for your family dr to pass. I have several friends that are in med school or finishing up their residencies.

Not sure what state you are in, but the two states I am licensed in REQUIRE you to purchase a stamp. One of them requires you to mail them a stamped piece of paper to prove it.

He has only asked me to do the foundation design and stamp it. Thanks for your input. I will need to check on insurance. I just got my license though and am not all that comfortable with stamping work outside of my day job, so I will probably pass on the opportunity.

So an architect has asked me to work with him on the side doing small jobs. he would like me to develop and stamp foundation drawings for residential construction. I was wondering if anyone had any type of experience with that, and what the going rate for something like that is. Any info is...

That was my understanding as well.

You no longer get all of the afternoon sections with the test. You have to decide your PM module months in advance and register for it now. Just FYI.

I have seen alot of people posting about transportation and construction but haven't seen many post about civil geotech. Anyone else take this? pass/fail?

I only had about a month to study for the Civil PE. I was most comfortable with structural, but didn't have access to alot of the codes that NCEES specifies are needed for the structural depth, so I decided to go with geotech for the depth portion. Since I am very comfortable with structures...

Graduated in civil engineering in '06. Made 55k. although, since then the raises have come painfully slow. That's why I'm beginning to look around.
