Might be too late now cocoloco, but it was not worth the money for me. I do recommend the MERM and the NCEES exam practice test (those 2 alone should do the trick)

Hey man, I always assumed the not reporting scores was a faster and cheaper way to grade exams. That way the machine only grades until it knows you passed and moves on. WHat do yuo think? JPGOLF

What about having a motor re-lift the weight? I know it then is not 100% non-electric, but it would use roughly half the power a 40W incandescent would. (bear in mind I spelled ROUGHLY before you start with the power factors, friction losses, etc!) BTW, I guess since we are all engineers here...

Hey TD - I own rental property and even though I have not done it for a "long" time, i can share a couple of tips for you and anyone else that might be interested. First of all, yes it can be a stepping stone, if you have the stomach for it! I am not trying to discourage anyone, but just be...

I was the project engineer on a new municipal bldg. I was busy running other jobs at the time and had another engineer do the HVAC sizing for the units. I reviewed his work and saw his outlet temperature based on the heat output of the unit was too low, so i told him it had to be at least...

I have been contacted by recruiters maybe since I passed my PE exam. I do not think these are related, because they call me by my middle name, which tips me off right away because only people I deal with directly would call me like that, or people I have given my business card to. One guy told...

Congrats! What did you think of the exam? Jpgolf

Hey Ray, good luck on the LEED exam. Based on your comments and I am sure you are going top ace that thing. The workshop was most of it for me, and then reviewing the notes the weekend after the exam, and that was it. Unlike the PE, they do give you your score after you are done. Beware of the...

Hey Chavez: I would hit the books full blast regardless. The more you prepare yourself the better. Bear in mind taking the test adds the "stress" factor, plus the "this one is for real" factor. I took the EIT on april 06 and found the afternoon section MUCH harder than the morning section. I...

Jregieng, you are correct, I have been doing some looking-around to see how the job market would appear. I have seen recent law-graduates go for clerkships with Judges and I do not know if that is a must, I would not like to do that, even though I understand it is good prosecution experience...

When I graduated, I swore I was going to work for 2 years and come back and get my M.Sc. in Engineering - That didn't happen. I stayed at my first job, and I am still here after 5 years, have learned a lot, like the work environment, good pay etc., became a PE this year and everything, LEED AP...

I did not get the day of the test reimbursed, but paid under my vacation time. Once I got the seal, Employer paid for the seal ($50 overnight delivery). I also received a raise after getting my license (6%). I was expecting 9% but oh well!

Thanks Ray, I got home yesterday and my license was there waiting for me. I guess we are home-free. I will actually be sealing my first job today! I have been waiting a while for that! Regards, JP

Cool. Is there a requirement to carry the card? I assume then I must be about a week from getting mine then. I am sure everyone feels relieved now that licenses have been issued. See you guys at the ceremony! Jpgolf

Hey Ray, seal just came in, looks nice and the standard seal is good enough, just your typical seal. I did not get the hotline to send me a fax, but maybe I should and get it out of the way. Regards, JPgolf

BTW, Seal has been ordered from Engineer Seals, overnight delivery (Thursday delivery) Also, call the automated number from NJ to check on licenses, I checked mine and it shows active as of today. Congrats to all, Jpgolf

Just called the Board and the license # has been assigned! I will order it tonite. JPGOLF

For example, if your office is really small and there are only 2 PEs under which you have done work. I think that if you have the experience and can prove that to the board, they may approve it. Is this your scenario? If so, talk to them, everything is negotiable. Jpgolf

Thanks for the tip. I will get them at engineerseals.com JPGOLF
