    Krak's Grandma's Facebook Quotes

    I thought I'd start a thread to paste these gems. Some may not make sense out of context but most aren't related to the post/pic they are commented under anyways. I dedicate this thread to CSB. "It is time for you to became a mother my dear live the past behind and start a new shapetter and...

    MI PE Number

    Has anyone that passed in Dec gotten their certificate and number from MI yet? I passed last Aptil but didn't submit the paperwork until late Dec. I've called a couple times and they just keep telling me it's being looked at.

    Children in the Workplace

    Today is "take your kid to work day". It's really strange to see all of these children in the office. I think it's a good thing, it's just very weird/humorous to actually witness it. Maybe it's bc I don't have any kids. I should've borrowed someone else's kid to bring in for show and tell today.

    EB.com App

    Is there any possibility of an EB.com app? The mobile site is pretty good but to see the new content in posts you have to either scroll thru all the pages or view it as the full site. Just wondering. Maybe I'm the only one who goes on the site mainly from my phone.

    NCEES 2008 #110 vs NCEES 2001 #108

    Similar types of problems but I got the 2008 problem right and the 2001 problem wrong. I think it has to do with full load vs rated load (whether or not to include the motor efficiency) and line vs phase values (MERM pg 67-9, whether or not to include a sqrt(3)). Anyone else have trouble with...

    NCEES 2001 MD # 516

    In this problem I set the 100 lb as F1 (the tight side). The solution also set it as F1 but flip flopped the F1 and F2 in the equation. The equation I'm referring to is 53.89. Anyone understand this?

    Where does the formula they use come from? Is it a variation of the stress = a*N^b formula?

    HVAC - Mixture Question

    I was working an HVAC mixture problem and got it wrong. Very discouraging bc I was sure I knew how to do these types of problems. I'll list the problem and my approach below. "An air handler that is equipped with a cooling coil receives 2,000 cu. ft/min of outdoor air that is maintained at 71...

    Practice Problems and Exams as Reference Material

    Did anyone take (or plan on taking) the MERM problems book, 6MS or NCEES practice exams with them as reference material? Just wondering if it was helpful and worth it.

    2 Week Plan

    What's your 2 week plan? I plan to focus heavily on the MD depth by continuing to work problems in Shigley and MERM, brush up on T/F and HVAC by working thru the 6MS, and continue to take timed practice exams to get my speed up. Burnt out? Yes. Stressed? Yes.

    Question for people who have taken/are taking MD depth

    With time running out, I am trying to focus on certain problem types that I noticed reoccur in the practice exams. One such problem is strength of welds. The MERM doesn't seem to have a whole lot of info or example problems on this topic. What reference material did you use for these types of...

    Marks, Steam Tables

    Trying to decide whether I should buy Marks or not. I came across another book, Marks calculations for Machine Design. Has anyone had any experience with either? Is either one worth getting for the exam? I'm taking the MD depth and currently already have Shigley and the Machinery Handbook...

    Sample Exam by Carlos Chapek

    Does anyone have or know where I can find the afternoon sample examination by Carlos Chapek? I have the morning sample exam and I really like the way the solutions are laid out. I've looked online, amazon and eBay and can't find it.
