    How much should an MEP Engineer produce to justify their salary?

At my current job (we'll call it company A), the company charges clients 1.4x our hourly rate to cover salary and overhead. At a new company (company B) that I am scoping out, they claim that I will need to produce 3x my...

    Create separate subs for Electronics and Power

    It seems like there are enough topics of both to warrant separating them. I spent a lot of time sifting through power topics to get to what I want, and it might save people in the future a lot of time if we just separated the two. There's not much crossover between them anyways. What do you guys...

    What happens if we don't find out our scores in time to re-test?

    Just like the title says. Somebody on this site mentioned we won't be getting scores until July 17th. The refile application deadline is July 7th in California. Since I'm not confident in my April test, should I just re-file so I don't end up having to wait a full year to retake the test...

    How to stay motivated?

    I've been for the April Electronics PE exam for a couple of months now, and I feel like if I took my exam right now, I would have a good chance of passing. I have mastered about 80% of questions/topics presented in the NCEES sample exam, and I don't feel like the other 20% is worth the time. For...

    Electronics Exam References

    Since the other topic involving references were pretty much all power reference, I'd like to start one specifically for the electronics exam. What references are important to that exam? So far, I plan on bringing the EERM, my sample exams, the FE guidebook provided by NCEES, and my own set of...

    PE Electronics Study Strategy

    Anyone else taking the electronics PE exam in April in California? I'm trying to get a feel and a better idea of what to expect on the exam and how to best prepare.
