For sale: one NCEES Sample Power exam. This is in excellent condition, as I only opened it once. I received it as part of a notes package from a online PE refresher course I took. I didn't use it because I am a electronics exam guy. (I finally passed the SOB on the 4th try this spring...

Guys: I just got the word today that I failed the Electronics test again, with no diagnostic improvement (44/80). That was my third try, and I feel a bit like giving up. Self-studying obviously isn't working and I can't find a electronics refresher. I'm thinking about switching to Power if...

This problem is asking for the the current distribution that would give the radiation pattern shown. Sorry, I can't post the picture of the problem, but I was wondering if anyone had any info on how to deal with something like this. I can't find anything in my books and the internet isn't...

Hey guys! 6 days to go! I am working some communications problems and I ran across a conflicting formula and was wondering if someone could help out. For the distance between 2 line of site towers, the formula is simple enough: distance between towers = 4.1*sqrt of the height. (d=4.1*sqrt of...

Just wondering if anyone would have any information to offer on these problems. They are communication based problems, and I am having a difficult time finding information on them, both in my books and on the web. I can understand what they are telling me from the answers given, but I'm trying...

Hey Guys back again. I'm having a a little trouble with this problem: "A waveform having period T=2 is described by a constant value of 10 over the interval 0<t<1 and 0 over the interval of 1<t<2. This signal is repeated continually for all time "t." The first terms of the...

Just wondering if anyone can explain this problem to me. The NCEES answer is using an equation to solve this problem that I haven't come across in the EERM and elsewhere. I can follow the math to get to the answer, but it just seems there would be a better way. Any help would be appreciated...

Can anyone explain Bode plots/diagrams to me? I'm working specifically on NCEES 114. I've been trying to figure out how to solve these problems but I can't seem to wrap my head around it. Thanks in advance!

To all: After receiving my second failure letter in 2010, its fairly obvious that I'm missing a piece of the puzzle for the Electronics exam. Has anyone out there passed the electronics exam in its current format? If so, any pointers would be very appreciated. I'm thinking about the PE...

I posted this to the FE board. I figured I add it here too. http://www.todaysengineer.org/2010/Oct/CBT.asp I would guess the PE will eventually head that direction, but the article says "According to NCEES, the PE and PS exams, which are also required for professional licensure, will remain...

FYI. Maybe this is old news, but I just found out about it. I would guess the PE will also start heading that direction. http://www.todaysengineer.org/2010/Oct/CBT.asp BJS

Does any one have any thoughts on how to best utilize the final week prepping for the exam? I'm thinking: 1. Get exam notes in order. 2. Study any topics that could use some extra attention 3. ????? Thanks in advance!

Hey all. I'm working this problem again, and I see how they do it (sort of), but I'm hoping for some clarification. Basically, they want you to solve for a RC ckt at a given time, but the equation for the voltage is v(t)= A+Be^(-t/RC). Voltage v(t) is a charged capacitor. What do the values...

I am currently studying for the Electrical-Electronics PE in April. I'm "working" through the problems on the NCEES sample test. What I am finding is that a great many of the questions are solved using some method that I either can't find or doesn't exist in the Camara EERM. It's very...

I'm working the NCEES Electronics sample exam and I have a problem that is something I've never been exposed to. Its about a "pi-pad" attenuator and I'm supposed to list the y-parameters. I can't find anything referencing a pi-pad attenuator in any of my study materials. Does anyone have any...

Has anyone used this to study for the PE? How about taking it to the exam on test day? I haven't heard anyone mention it at all. I breifly looked at it and seems like something that should help to study since has all or at least many of the equations in one place. I'll be taking the...

Hello Everyone. I'm trying to get started studying for the Electrical PE in April of 2010, under the electrical and electronics discipline. My first question is whether or not I will need the NEC Handbook for any of the problems? The NEC seems more related to the power discipline. Question...

Hello Everyone. I'm in the process of appying to the state of Wisconsin to take my PE exam. One of the forms they want candidates to complete is an Experience Record. The main question I have is how detailed I need to be in describing my experience. Right now, I've just listed my...

Hey Folks. Would anyone have insight on what a EE PE could earn starting out in West Central Wisconsin? I'm contemplating a promotion (sort of) that will get me back on the path to getting my PE (I have my FE). It would be for Telcom Engineering for a independent phone company where I'm...

Hello folks! I'm a noob here so I apologize in advance if I missed something in the earlier posts. I'm looking for some info the PM Computer module and what I could expect. I graduated from college 9 years ago, and got my FE back in 2002. My degree is in Technology w/electronics...
