engineering economy is more geared towards time value of money problems. if you haven't gone over that yet, google it and do some practice problems. energy rates and KWH is still a good thing to know, though.

Page 26-41 should be brought to the exam, especially page 33. It makes this question infinitely easier.
Conduit sizing is a critical aspect of everyday electrical design, so I don't think it's a stretch at all to say it could be on the exam. I don't think it will get as specialized as an electricians exam, but I think it's a good idea to be aware of the different kinds of questions they can ask...
NCEES can take any topic from the list they provide. I know what you're talking about and I never understood why Lambert would say that in the video, especially when it's on the list. I've seen people state here that there have been some exams that have had engineering econ or ethics or...
The GA tech course was great but the real prize there is the instructor. He is able to answer questions with a relatively short turnaround (I tried not to bug him too much, saving it for when I was really stuck) and he really wants you to do well if you apply yourself.
As far as references go...
From an instructor:
In #111, a reference voltage was defined. In your problem it is not. The problem is incompletely stated, so phasor answer really is inappropriate.
Also, I think it has to do with the fact that you're setting the reference voltage as the internal phase voltage of the generator so the rest of the values must have phase values (or adjusted accordingly by shifting the phase).
If you look at question 111 in the NCEES you can see a problem...

There's an example on page 10 that has a problem/solution exactly like the solution given by complex imaginary.
I think I get it. Since you're given the current on a Wye connection, the line current = phase...
