Can anyone recommend a good review book for antenna theory and applications? Good, concise review books seem to be hard to come by in the antenna and EM field. I have some Electromagnetic texts from school but I was looking for something to address more of the practical side of antenna design...

Congratulations on passing. With that behind you, what tips can you offer on preparing for the Electrical and Electronics PE Exam? Looks like I will finally have an opportunity to start studying for this.

The civil war may be over but the debate about how and why it started will go on for hundreds of years.

Chips do taste good in a sammich. I also like to put fries in a burger but I have drastically cut back on fries in recent years. Sometimes on the way to work I will buy a steak egg and cheese bagel meal from McD. It comes with a hash brown patty that I insert between the bagel before I chow...

Try to find a book called "Teach Yourself HTML in 24 Hours". It is a good primer on writing HTML. It really takes longer than 24 hours but the book is organized into twenty-four one-hour lessons. After you have learned HTML, get the book on Javascript from the same publisher, Sam's Publishing (I...

OMG! With that avatar and a name like Fudgey, I find the combination disturbing. Snap out of it and get some help.

Yep. I did mean physician's assistants. But the degree for a physician's assistant is called Medical Technology at some schools. At my clinic, some nurses do almost all the patient care and simply get a sign-off from the doctor. Those are mainly nurse practitioners but some are RNs. Some states...

Some good points were made by ironman. Still, the medical profession has its problems. I have some MDs in my family and it is not as rosey as it seems. They get treated like the UPS guy and they are given only three minutes per patient in the clinical setting. That's three minutes to examine...

Well, I tried the [blue]-> [CLEAR]->3 to clear all and it didn't make a difference. Then, I tried another reset key stroke sequence, [C][GTO], holding both keys simultaneously and it didn't make a difference. Then, I tried resetting the calculator with the reset button on the back and it...

Thanks for the feedback and the link. Have you ever tried the TVM program given on page 17-2 of the user manual and also available at the following link? http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/pscmisc/vac.../user_guide.pdf I enter the program and get the correct checksum and byte length. Still, my...

I took the plunge and decided to try out the HP 35s. I was working my way thorough the user's guide and trying out some of the examples. I entered the Time Value of Money equation per the user's guide and I keep getting the "MEMORY FULL" message. I got this before when trying out another example...

As I said in my previous post, this is not an easy thing to do. The basic idea is to work for a company that really needs engineers to do engineering. Many companies post engineering degree requirements in their job postings because they really just want a smart person to do their middle...

I'm a little late to the discussion but this thread is interesting. To answer the question, I do not think engineers are getting cheaper by the dozen. Not in the least. The real issue we have to keep in mind is that companies can dole out titles to whomever they wish. It's a private company, not...

Your wish is granted. But now, Honey won't do what you want. I wish I could review the entire PE exam coursework, do all problems in my texts and be prepared for the exam in one day.

Thanks. I have an older copy from my days as a plant engineer in the 1990s. I think it is dated 1993 or 1996. Those books are expensive so it would be nice to use what I already have.

Congratulations! You are now in Lost Wages. I wish I could get a promotion.

For EEs, did you take a copy of the National Electrical Safety Code to the exam? I haven't decided whether I will take the Electrical and Electronics or the Power exam. I have a pretty good base of experience in both fields and it will depend on which practice test I do better on. How much of...

I really like engineering as a discipline but I really hate the politics and BS that goes with it in the corporate world. As an electronics hardware engineer, I'm doing work that I dreamed of doing as a kid. However, it's not all engineering. Probably 60% of the job is politics, compulsory...

I'm in a similar situation except that I'm planning to take the October 2010 exam in Electrical and Electronics. I ordered the NCEES sample problems and I would like to know what seems to be the best review workbook. Right now, I have laid out a project plan in MS Project that involves spending...
