Do the problems in MERM and other sources then finish off ALL the sections within the NCEES. Time yourself while practicing as to avoid "falling in love" with any problem. The NCEES Sample format is representative of the actual exam. Focus on scoring as high as possible in the Morning Session...

The MERM problems are not representative of the actual test. However, it does have a great index which I found very useful when I did the T&F Depth in April 2007. I did practice problems for all three areas (HVAC, MD, T&F) and this really helped me to pass the 2nd time around. Don't...

Congratulations to all new PE candidates!!!

I think the book bas is refering to the following: Gas Tables Thermodynamic Properties of Air Products of Combustion and Component Gases Compressible Flow Functions Copyright 1945 7th Printing, 1960 Very extensive book for air properties using °F and Btu/lb. Compared to this book, MERM...

You guys and gals go kick some a.. :210: Then party your butts off. :multiplespotting: Y'ALL are overdue!!!

From what I see, you're focused taking HVAC as your Depth. As you know, the morning session has problems from all three (MD, T&F and HVAC) sections. Don't just focus on one area because skipping any section is really NOT a good idea. Been there! Done that! Take a look at the Depths within...

Should VTEnviro be elevated to the rank of '5 Star Spam Master General'? YES!!! Next Question!

I mixed up the flash cards and used them during lunch time while preparing for the PE. They do have a lot of non-quantitative / theoretical info you will use while doing problems. I couldn't get the sample exam but the PE Exam Preparation book had some good problems with clear solutions. I...

Got the wall certificate and license card on August 11, 2007 just a few days before eight weeks. All the blood, sweat, and tears that I have invested in getting the PE then to see my name on that certificate was an unbelievable feeling of accomplishment.

First attempt: I skipped MD totally because my background is mostly T&F and HVAC. (BIG MISTAKE!!!) Second attempt: I did a lot of MD problems as if this would be my Depth. I still chose T&F but the MD problems within the T&F Depth weren't that challenging. For a couple of a...

The FBPE website showed my license number 13 days after receiving ny notice from ELSES / NCEES.

Florida I recieved my Exam Results Notice from ELSES / NCEES on June 15, 2007 and my license number was issued by FBPE on June 28, 2007. Per the notice, the license card and the wall certificate takes 8 to 10 weeks. The license cycle expires on February 28, 2009 with the renewal fee due ANYTIME...

Hi Annie, Thanks. I tried responding yesterday but got a message that your inbox is full. I worked at a Waste to Energy facility and picked up some experience dealing with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes from a maintenance / repair perspective. I didn't review or prepare for any...

A week after getting my pass notice, the FBPE assigned my number. No certificate as yet.

I couldn't find any "real" opinions on the net about this MGI ME course. It appears to be a $600 to $650 gamble. I couldn't justify spending that kind of money without some real feedback. :whipping:

Mike, I don't think it matters because the steam properties haven't changed through out the years. At least not in any significant way. Get a copy that is in U.S. units that minimizes any possible loss time due to interpolation. Every second counts!! :thumbs:

In FLorida you must have 4 years of "engineering experience" as specified within the statute. If not, no PE exam for you.

I know a guy that is on his 5th attempt at the PE exam. The old Florida rules still applied to his application. Granted, no one really wants to be on that difficult path for so long so I'm glad I got mine on the 2nd attempt. If I didn't, Florida would have my retake application already. That's a...

Miami PE is here!!! :p10940623: Mechanical - Thermal & FLuids Congrats to all that PASSED in April 2007. Still Partying on Cloud 9!!! :multiplespotting:

In the Miami location, we had to share 4 x 8 tables and ENJOY the music that a school marching band was practicing for most of the morning session. The same thing happened when I did the FE there but back then it was a Rock Band. Nobody thought this could be a problem for the PE examinees...
