    Passed, Pay Raise?

    Gordapeak, what industry are you in that they are so interested in the mechanical PE? Most ME's I've talked to seem to have it as a nice resume booster but have never had a job that really required/valued it.

    I had the same problem. Stamp came today with the unrequested "registered" on it. Annoying but I'm not going to hassle them over it. In my case it's going to be nothing but a fancy desk ornament anyway.

    Don't know if it's the best but it sure seems to be a good vendor and they were recommended to me by several others. They do the homework for you to make sure the seals they offer you match the requirements for your state, their prices seemed reasonable, and they ship quickly. Just got mine on...

    Is there any pro/con to having a stamp vs. embossing seal? Do some documents require one or the other or are they the same thing? Not many PE's in my industry so I don't have much experience with these things. I'm not likely to use whatever I get much anyway but I may switch industries at some...

    I had a harder time sleeping last night than I did the night before the exam. I hope they don't leave us hanging until late tonight.

    So how do you feel?

    Well I'd read a bunch of stuff in here and didn't see that anywhere. I do see that on the CA board now though. That's fantastic...hopefully it won't ruin my Christmas :)

    So how do you feel?

    Wait, some states have already released results???? I just got on here to say I'm going crazy knowing that CA won't release results for another 3 weeks. I thought I was only going to have to endure 2 weeks of knowing other people already had their results. WHY Californing WHY do you do this to us?

    Where are you Waiting?

    Mechanical - Machine Design. Waiting by the beach in LA. I was actually doing pretty well being patient and getting used to normal life again. Then last night a friend invited us over for dinner to make good on a promise to make me a lobster dinner after I took the test. Now I'm feeling super...

    My Last Friday ME PE test Experience

    I also took MD depth. I felt decent about it in the end. Having to use the book for every problem isn't a problem as long as you can find the correct info in a matter of seconds. I agree with WV_Boiler, MERM has what you need in almost every case but don't go in without Shigley's. I also took my...

    Engineering Economics

    There will always be a few economics/operations/management type problems on the exam. I spent a couple of days on this at the end of my studying after covering all of the more core technical topics. That was enough I felt I could muscle my way through on the exam but if I have to do this again...

    So how do you feel?

    I used both about equally and was glad I spent the money to have both. I had MERM tabbed extensively with individual topics as well as all the appendices. I also had the equation book tabbed with the chapter headings. I liked it because it has many of the key equations and tables for a given...

    Funnies at the exam?

    My table mate and I got a good laugh out of the 3 proctors a couple of tables ahead of us arguing with each other about whether examinees are allowed to keep references on the table, whether only a certain number were allowed on the table at any given time, etc. They kept coming back to this one...
