I passed the PE Exam, Computer Engineering.

Wow, that really sucks. Sorry.

Again, it depends on location. In Atlanta, $50,000 is an acceptable (though not great) salary for starting out of school. In Mobile, AL, starting is actually more like $35000, but you can buy a fantastic house for $70k where as the same house in Atlanta is $250k, so that needs to be taken into...

Sounds like a company you wouldn't want to be with anyway in the long run. Any company that doesn't value education and investment in their employees isn't a company that will be going places.

10% seems to be consistent in most good organizations.

I ordered mine yesterday at engineeringseals.com. They seem to be well recommended around here.

Yeah, this is the same joke we tell new college hires so we can pay them dirt cheap.

Perhaps employers should also be thankful that they have good engineers who choose to work under them. I didn't realize gratitude was a one way street.

I went in much the same way (not because I didn't want to study, but due to personal commitments at the same). Since people hardly talk about the exam in my discipline, I thought I'd use one of my exam chances to do a "trial run". This way, I could figure out what the exam was like, get a...

One should be careful about making a statement like "pass without studying". Perhaps they didn't need to study because they normally spend their free time reading articles, working problems, and learning new material anyway. Since these types of people are effectively "always studying", there's...

Do you think some exams are just easier than others? I did the Computer Engineering exam for instance, and didn't need a calculator. Also, the fact that Computer Engineering has little to no standards means almost no memorization-type problems. You can generally work everything from first...

If you pass, the PDF will be called Results_Notice.pdf. It will say: NCEES ID: **** State Board: Georgia Exam Type: PE - Electrical and Computer: Computer Engineering Exam Date: October 2010 Exam Result: Pass "Congratulations! You have achieved a passing score on your recent NCEES exam...

First time. I passed the PE. Which is miraculous because I didn't have any time to study for the exam, so I went in blind. It was bad enough to where I had to thumb through the sample problems in the NCEES book for the first time during the test (oh.. this looks kinda like the problem I need to...

Wow. Yet, somehow I'm not surprised. Georgia has always been somewhat dysfunctional, considering that they already made most of us drive all the way out of the Macon when I imagine that the majority of us work somewhere around Atlanta.

From looking at the Ohio thread, seems that way.
