LMAO!

holy [explicit], did you actually read all these books?

I was a project engineer (design engineer) and spent most of my time designing so it really helped me fill out my experience record. One of engineers at my current job had a similar problem; he spent years doing field engineering and not much design; he told me had a hard time convincing the...

hey, who you calling "ape"? lol, right now I am on electrical engineer; mostly doing construction and renovations and consulting. I used to work at a manufacturing plant.

You are correct; fields like manufacturing, R&D and sales don't really need PE but having a PE is a plus if you are in construction and consulting.

So I just got my PE and I was wondering, what is the job prospect for an electrical engineer with a PE license? I was graduated about four years ago, and as most of you know, job market was fantastic back then. I remember my last semester, I was getting interview after interview. I landed a...

Passed.

Has anyone heard from NCEES yet? Any chance we get the results before new year? :dunno: :unsure:

I missed the some of damn economy problems but I am confident I'll pass anyways.

booo, no spamming.

So what IS the minimum passing grade?

I think I got about %80 to %90 right in the morning and %70 to %80 in the afternoon.

I have read the NCEES requirement; there is no reference to individual state requirement; also, on my state board of engineers website, I see no link to exam requirements. All requirements are on NCEES site and are the same for everyone anywhere.

What the heck is "pigeon holeing"?! And I am sure the requirements are the same for different states because requirements can be downloaded directly from NCEES website. I am also sure all books and notes allowed as long as there are no loose papers.

here is a motivational speech before the test!

it is just the per phase impedance; don't get caught up in their terminology. Calculating three phase is just like the single phase except that you should pay attention to squared of three factor. Also, if it is single phase you need to multiply the distance of equipment to source by 2 to find...

this is not a "tricky" question; the question is flawed and has no correct answer. NEC tables are not meant to be used to size overloads.

I don't want to beat the dead horse here but I am going to go one step further and question the knowledge of people who wrote this pile of junk, Kaplan. I think they have some fundamental misunderstanding. Let me just give you an example: Read problem 30 carefully (forget about the fact that...

sorry but that's not how it works; the bottom line is that the problem is flawed and has no correct answer. You can't just make up exceptions to the code.

No, according to 430.6(A)(1),tables 430.247 to 430.250 are used for breakers, fuses and conductors only, and not for overloads. Per 430.32(A)(1), overloads are sized based on manufacturer nameplate and not the NEC table. I am pretty much sure NCEES 510 is botched.
