I agree with engrstructural11. They should be totally separate as getting a PE is totally separate matter than your normal annual performance review.

Any updates from people that passed?

I agree with snickerd3, I think all current PE's would be grandfathered in. It would be impossible to make all current PE's to go back to college to earn a Master's Degree, especially if they are running their own firm. It would essentially strip your right to practice engineering in your...

http://ncees.org/Audience_Landing_Pages/Students.php Please refer to the above link and read paragraph "Changes to Education requirements." What are your thoughts on the additional education requirements that will be enacted in 2020? Overall I think it is a good thing, it will make the title of...

I haven't had a chance to talk to recruiters, and am unsure how to. I've always sought out my own jobs and never had used a recruiter before. I hadn't planned on just saying "well I'm a P.E. now, wheres my raise?" I planned on taking more responsibility, (checking Jr engineers work, stamping...

Well I've used websites such as engineersalary, payscale and glassdoor, for areas right around where I am, they are saying I should be around the 65k mark. However; I don't think any of these take into account for stamping designs. I would assume it would go up even more to say the 70k mark? I...

I am currently looking to see what I should ask for in a raise at the company I work. Here is some of my background and hopefully maybe you guys can help me out. I work at a Not-For-Profit company in upstate New York (about 55 employees), designing a variety structures, mainly for agricultural...

Addi, I received my license last April and no, you do not get a official letter in the mail, you just get an e-mail saying congrats. I remember waiting for my license number also, it seems there is no rhyme or reason to how they go up, it usually starts with A, B, C then they start jumping all...

I took the Geotechnical exam this past April. I was pretty busy with a lot of stuff as well with work, but tried to find whenever I could. I used lunch breaks to read chapters in the CERM, at night, and took full advantage of weekends whenever possible. One big peice of advice that was already...

bump Any more updates from people passing the exam in April?

I didn't expect that the index I came up with would be such a hit! Thank you for all the kind comments!

PE_Exam_Index.xls Attached you will find a copy of my master index, hopefully it is helpful. Its partially incomplete due to me writing in some of the remaining information that i put on it. CERM was my main reference, especially during the AM portion. I used it for a good portion of PM but...

I made a "master index" of all my books, and made a spreadsheet with every topic covered in AM and PM sections, helped me a ton in finding info and was a good tool for studying as well so I could cross reference materials in my different references.

I was debating on going for CPESC as well cause there are a few people in my office that have it. However, I just obtained my PE in Civil so i doubt I'll be going for this as PE encompasses much more than this certification alone and I think the 200 in annual dues just doesnt fly with me...

I would assume that all current PEs would be grandfathered into the new requirements for a Masters Degree, I can't see them asking all PEs that currently don't have a Masters Degree go back to school, its just too unrealistic to do.

What do you guys think about the education requirements for getting a PE in certain states? Do you think they should do away with getting a PE with experience alone and require everyone have a bachelors in engineering or do you think they should leave as is? I am for requiring everyone having a...

Recieved a paper copy of my license in the mail today!

Where I work it is a unique place that we work with a variety of organizations, with the federal gov't included, its very complicated, and my organization is not-for-profit, and recieves funding from the state and NYC to do work to improve water quality. All work is currently checked under and...

I have a question, maybe some of you guys could help out... I just passed the PE Civil Exam (Yay!!) and my boss has expressed interest in making me the primary signing engineer at my company. I have approximately 6 years of experience, and work in upstate NY, as well as the company is...
