I'm in! I unfortunately took about 6 years off from taking. I sat for the Fall 2021 and did not have success.

What depth did you take? I am considering switching from construction to water.

Regarding Seismic: Please believe ALL the comments regarding Dr. Ibrahim Ahmed of AEI (formerly of EET). His teaching ability is excellent. I passed a few years back because of his teaching method. He literally walked me through seismic. I have two small children and was unable to commit to the...

I've taken both review courses. I didn't pass after taking Hiner's course but I did pass after taking EET. Dr. Ibrahim's teaching method worked well with a student like me (limited structural background, slow at understanding seismic concepts). Good Luck!

Hi wtindal, I'm interested.  I'll e-mail you.

Thanks Audi driver...I'm not!

I didn't pass Construction. :(   Along with some serious studying I went over a couple of sample exams.  I felt the breadth was much more difficult than the depth...which probably explains why I did better in the afternoon than the morning...just not well enough to pass. Question for those that...

ASCE 12.1.2 staes that a "nonstructural component is a part or an elemnet of an architectural, electrical or mechanical system. ASCE 7 13.5: A parapet is an architectural component. If you're designing for out of plane forces, you would use the Rt=Fp=fp (hw/2+hp). hp=height of the parapet

Here's a link to a review course that a lot of my co-workers had success with. I am using him as well. http://surveyingreview.com/

Congratulations! Best Wishes on the PE! :party-smiley-048:

I'm interested in taking the Construction portion. For those that took the exam, can you provide some feedback into what books were more helpful than others?
