If you start out as a substation technician, can that lead to a substation engineer job after 2-3 years? I have a BSET and EIT but no experience in power distribution, seems these days they're all looking for experienced engineers.

I am worried that I won't be learning technical stuff and instead learn project management... it probably won't even count towards my PE. The pay is better..

I got offered a marine systems engineer job with ee background. It doesn't sound too technical but more project management.. Would this be a good career path for someone that is in his early 30s? what's the outlook like with navy systems engineering? any insight would be appreciated!

So there are controls, transmission, building, nuclear, substation in electrical power field. Which field are you in and which do you wish you were in?

Are you considering getting out of power? As someone trying to go in that direction, your post is a bit troubling..

Anyone here work as project managers? How did you get into this position? Is it something you will be doing 10 years down the line?

Best advice for you is to find as many practice problems and do em. The NCEES EE PM book was pretty helpful for me. I'm selling mine if you want :D

Honestly, im not aware of any of those you listed associated with engineering programs. From an employer's perspective, your local state university would be best I would think if you're not going to some nationally recognized school. The underlying reasoning would be why would this person from...

It seems there are almost no jobs for entry level engineers and most engineering jobs require 5+ years of experience.. However I am seeing some opportunity for overseas work.. My question is, do overseas experience(With US firm) still help in the long run? Anyone recommend this route? Anyone...

Ask them for $ :D Who the hell works for free?

I just registered on NCEES website. It looks like you do not need any of those to be able to register and sit for the exam.. Am I crazy? To get the license you may need all those things but in order to just take the exam you might not need...Unless they were gonna just reject my registration.

Holy crap! please tell me that aint so...

I am looking for previous revisions of the NCEES Power section practice exam. 2000-2008 versions. Anyone here willing to sell it? Thanks, Soobin

http://www.ncees.org/Exams/Study_materials...&product=1D The above link is the description of the book ($43 after they add $8 :smileyballs: S/H charge) I bought it March 17 2010. Perfect condition, no markings. Save $10 if you want to, it is exact same one as you would get from them...

Holy crap you bought a lot of books! I hope you passed! Is the NCEES book the 2009 edition? Also what are the conditions of the books?

Is the NCEES Electrical Power Practice Exam same as the current 2009 revision available on NCEES.ORG website?

No, no one at my company has a PE. Do employers really care about the BSET instead of BSEE? Hopefully I can use my 4 years at my current co for atleast 2 of the 6 required years? I REALLY dont want to wait 6 years for the PE... Lol are you selling the NCEES PE exam sample book on Amazon? I...

Congrats! Can you tell me which books you used, what material you brought to the test? Thanks!

Looking at NCEES website, they offer 25 different tests for the PE license. I dont understand what some of them are for. Since my specialty is electrical, I thought the only relevant thing you need a PE for is for power. Can you have a computer engineer PE stamp an electrical power lay out...

Did everyone in NJ get the NJ Law packet to answer the test from? I dont remember getting one... and totally forgot to take it.
