Pacific NW is hot for electronics? How about the power industry what is your feeling on that end? Is bigfoot country close to the area?

Wow I just checked that site real quick and it turns out that I live in the highest cost of living area based on the list. Not completely shocking, but still... I need to move :-/

Hello all, I am working on a desing of a new substation for a client and when discussing whether to use electronic vaccuum circuit breakers or fused switches the discussion of snubber cirucits come up. From what I have gathered so far, snubbers are required when using vaccum circuit breakers...

UPDATE: Just received an immediate 15% increase! With overtime it will work out to over 20%. Can't complain anymore

If I can help you get even one additional question right on the exam than great, it all helps

i'll save you the trouble... http://www.arcadvisor.com/pdf/ShortCircuitABC.pdf I used this method as well and it helped me a ton.. made solving short circuit problems 100x easier. Its worth a read through for sure.

For all those still interested take a look here: http://www.framingachievement.com/professionalengineer_plaque.htm I will also be looking for one in the near future. Michaels sounds like an okay spot if you have the coupon.

iwire, make sure you have something that covers lighting, relaying, and lightning/surge protection. Although lighting is not a dominant topic typically, they're easy questions if you have the correct formula/theory down. And I found lightning/surge protection wasn't thoroughly covered in any oft...

Tabs are great for either. I actually bought the 2011 tabs for my 2008 handbook and the majority of the tabs applies (might have had to move one or two to a new table name). In my daily routine, I use the 2008 handbook, simply because its tabbed and easier to follow. However, for the test I...

I'm in the power industry.. i'd love to get some additional details on these types of jobs you're referring to. PM me if you have the time please, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Anxious got to the questions first... do you mean like an owners rep?

I was just on the NYS board of professions website but cannot seem to find this. Can you point me in the right direction?

Do you live in either of those areas now? If not, what outlets are you using to set up/look for job openings and interviews?

I took the exam in New York. From what I hear, they are very strict with their deadlines for registering. The deadline for the October 2012 exam was May 2012. I wouldn't have 4 years until around July (just like you). I went ahead and submitted my experience and paid the licensure fee anyway...

That is why you keep quiet and tell the least amount of people! lol

Can't comment on the Wildi book, but everyone on these boards raves about it. In its' absence I used Electric Machinery Fundamentals by Chapman, which is a decent substitute as I was able to find alot of useful formulas during the exam.

I'm not sure NYS actually releases the scores? Correct me if I'm wrong...

Honestly, after receiving the good news that I passed, I can wait for the actual number and just enjoy the holidays and time with family. You all should try and follow suit :)

I would assume that they should simply add you to their insurance policy. However, I work for a medium to large engineering company and things may be different because of that. As far as costs go, you should check what your company policy is (if you have one). I know my company reimburses me...

Natgas does your state issue a license number immediately? I have to wait a month or so for some bs paperwork :(
