I worked at a large utility. And Protection Engineering was a really good field to be in. Most of the folks in the field are either very experienced, or they are fairly fresh out of school. If you do this sort of work you will either be a relay a design engineer concerned primarily with the AC...

I have been a power engineer since I got out of college. I started in the utility sector working in system operations and then substation design in relation. I enjoy the work at the utility however, there were some drawbacks. Some of the drawbacks were the threat of reorganizations within the...

judging from what you have stated above I think your chances of finding a job in this market are quite good. There is quite a bit of demand currently for electrical engineers, and especially those with a wireless background. Best of luck!

I spent 5 years at Entergy. And during my tenure there I hada position in the control room for about 3 years. After that I went to the relay settings department. And subsequent to that I was in the construction management department. Overall each engagement was quite interesting and challenging...

the substation and T line engineering field is doing very well. When I was at a electric utility in Mississippi and Arkansas we were constantly busy. The only problem with this field is that there is a distinct lack of experience in the workforce. You have either engineers with 30 plus years...

I can definitely sympathize with your statement. I work as an electrical engineer at a regional transmission organization, and most of my work is simply running studies. I would prefer to have a job that is 5050 some hands-on work, and some design work at a desk. However, after nine years of...

I have a utility background mostly load flow and short circuit. So this may be way off. Have the CT ratios been checked? From a settings standpoint it shouldnt trip it sounds like. Lemme know what you find out its always interesting how these relays have a mind of their own.

I would also recommend Regional Transmission Organizations and Independent Transmission System Operators. These organizations do high level planning and coordination of the power grid. Midcontinent Independent System Operator is my employer and I am very happy it is challenging and well paying...

I have worked mostly in the utilities and transmission system operations relm as an electrical engineer. But I was at an MEP firm for about 8 months. I really enjoyed the work, and the experience I gained helped me sucessfully pass the P.E. this April. I left MEP because the firm I was at was...

congratulations

Thanks y'all. The NCEES email also made it to me to confirm that I did indeed pass. I am very grateful to God for giving me the knowledge to pass. Hope for good outcomes and speedy results for the rest of y'all.

I passed. But I don't see anything on NCEES. Emailed and called to confirm they said I did pass indeed.

Way to go

Congrats!!!

I called Arkansas state board. They said the examinee and the board get results at the same time. Also they commented that they think they should be coming out this week.

Dowbn for updates again.

If you assume the same timeline as October 2013 exam we are 1 day from the first state's results being released. That is 40 days from the exam. I am so nervous.

I have got a sick feeling. I don't know if I passed or not just like everyone else, but this was my third attempt in the state of Arkansas. I really hope that things improved. I had not studied economics and was very poor at the NEC stuff before the first two exams. I also did not have a...

I took the power P.E. for the third time this April in Arkansas. The first two times I didn't really prepare very well, and overall the experience was pretty rough obviously, I failed. Anyway, I think that the biggest thing that one who needs to pass can do is to take a course or get a book...

I am an EE in power systems. I have worked for Entergy and Southwest Power Pool previously. I also did a very short stint in consulting. Currently, I am working at the Midcontinent ISO in Carmel, Indiana. It is a good job, but I really enjoyed the design of devices and systems, and there is...
