I think that sums it up nicely.

Well, in this department, a place closer to home is hard to beat: try NYC! B)

Well, doesn't the average family have something like 2.4 children? :-)

PASSED!!!! :party-smiley-048: Civil PE, Transport, 1st try, NY (took exam in NYC). Totally stunned – I still can’t believe it (considering how bad I did in the PM)!!! What a relief...! Wow! Thanks a million to those who have contributed their helpful advice. EB.com simply rocks...

Good points, Greg C. While valid for a population overall, standardized tests do not always tell the truth about every single individual. It is also comforting to hear that some decision makers at higher institutions are seeing that and taking appropriate corrective action.

Hi, Does anyone know, which happens first: 1) you get your letter, or 2) you find your name on-line via NYS Office of Professions (if you have passed the PE)?

Katiebug, Wow, great insight. Thanks for sharing!

That's just not fair. You are playing dumb. Have you not a bit of common honesty left? (take a look at what sort of comments my previous views got me...) And why is that? I thought the whole idea behind having a forum as this was to promote an exchange of ideas and opinions. As soon as I...

Man, what planet do you live on??? I know that engineers on the whole tend to be conservative, but have you no idea that about 2/3 of US population is against this war? (see CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll. April 28-30, 2008, http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm) Oh God, I can't believe...

Mary, again, by silencing one's opinion or sweeping the dirt under the carpet, you are not going to solve a problem - and as an experienced engineer, you should know better. Good for you, Mary. But again, I don't understand how your expressed love for our country and the claim that it the best...

But that's exactly what I was doubting: were these sacrifices necessary (think about the fabricated evidence about the weapons of mass destruction and of support for Al-Kaida)? And explain to me, how anything I have said can possibly be construed to discredit our servicemen and women serving in...

benbo, I do not like to waste time on pointless discussions, but since this is an important issue and an unfair attack, I will make an exception. Here's my final say. First of all, you are not being honest: I was not the one who started going off topic to statements about the pride in the...

nice work, bmark3... :-) Here's what I found out from NCEES when I asked about the passing rates: "The Civil passing scores have been established and pass rates are consistent with historical trends. The statistics should be posted to our website sometime next week. " Let's see what it does...

Thanks NYENG for the good work. I can wait another week or two… but the more I analyze my performance, the less I want to know the truth…:-(

engineergurl, I appreciate your input, as I am sure do others reading this forum. Again, the intention was to provoke a discussion based on a true scenario - despite your hints of otherwise... And the responses were great and informative, at lest in my opinion. The rankings consistently show US...

ODB_PE, there are currently a lot of interesting opportunities in the UK and Ireland, if that's of any interest to you. First of all, I would challenge the "Nobody Likes Americans" stereotype. Never, had I experienced any of that. It boils down to the basic truths in life. I believe that if you...

And I would say AYE to pencil and paper any day of the week :-) I get dizzy after looking at the PC screen for about an hour, so I need to take frequent breaks not to vomit... :-)

This is unbelievable! What a hopeless sod!

The intention of this post was not to belittle any American because of his education, nor to make anyone upset; rather, it was to provoke the exchange of ideas and views in a constructive atmosphere. Sure, US has still a lot to offer, although when I think of the stupidity in invading :iraq...

I understand your intention; however, whether we are good or bad by providing the oppurtunity to various individuals to pursue a decent, honest, life is not what's being debated at all here (quality of education is). Also, someone has made a point that it is tougher to get into a prestigious...
