+1 … I spent the first 10 years traveling quite a bit…I'm sure there are worse cases than mine but in my construction management days I lived/worked in 9 states over 7 years…and worked in more on a temporary basis. But it's a double edged sword…I made approximately 20% more than my...

who do you work for within DTP?

As little as possible...

I have my BS CET along with the EI (engineer intern, same as EIT) and I will be taking the PE Exam soon here, as I am permitted to do … call me a tech, call me an engineer call me what ever you want…as long as payroll goes through, I couldn't care less! With that being said - I'm not big on...

I used a TI 86 and TI 89 through college and into my first few years of working because it would save lines of data and equations to which you could go back and retrieve. When I really started studying for the exam I put the 89 away and used the TI30IIs exclusively. I had about 1 year of work...

Hello smart people! I ran into a issue in my study - I am using the CERM (11th Ed.) and I am having a serious issue determining the Hyperbolic Cosine, cosh and the Constant, c. Ref Chapter 41-19 in determining tension in catenary cables. My question roots from my practice problems CERM...

In the construction management days, I was an intern and we needed a roller operator, so the field superintendent looked at me and showed me the basics of a small to mid-sized sheep's foot compactor… we had +/- 2000 cy of cut to fill that we were moving for a small taxilane at the colorado...

IMO, the ONLY trick you need to know about the CERM is that there is a section called "appendices" towards the back, starts on page A-1 and ends on page A-155 (in my 11th edition) and you should know/memorize/tab/have a working knowledge of each one of those charts…pretty simple!!

I did this same thing because I found a killer deal on the 11th edition … does anyone have the 12th edition that can check the "printing history" located in the first few pages of the CERM that would show what updates the 12th edition encompasses? Thanks!

Wait until Thursday at 3pm to call. I would call rather than email. There are all kinds of hiccups like this so don't overthink it.

The Rockies are on every damn day and they get whooped day in and day out…so, careful what you wish for -

I didn't read everyones replies…to long…here was my secrets…This is all in my opinion…if you don't agree... Download and print a copy of the supplied reference manual and learn it…learn how to use it and how it's organized. Work problems so you know them inside and out…you won't do this on the...

Does anyone here use Google Sketchup to draft in 3D? Google offers a non-commercial version for free, enough tutorials to choke a horse and a user database for people to upload their creations?

I am sort-of in that same boat now… I went with the ginormous company option first (the Kiewit Family) but have found wanting a change. I worked for Kiewit for 7years in 9 states. The pay, benefits, opportunity, perks were amazing…the company travel, politics/bullsh!t, hours, stress were...

My initial response is … "none that I know about…" but here is my practice kiddo

I took the exam in Utah in 2009, passed it first attempt - NCEES only sent me an email to tell me that I passed. You can show that to your employer if you like. In colorado (where I live / will take the PE) you apply for 'Engineer Intern' status…where you submit a application with your...

my 2 cents is similar to DS58 - 1. Focus on the simple stuff - for me that was the surveying, math, construction management, structures - anything that I forgot or knew there was no way in hell I was going to get I guessed and didn't waste any more time on those questions. 2. Ethics and...
