I have worked at a municipal electric utility for about three years now; I think my position is pretty safe, no complaints about the pay, and my boss is really a nice guy. However, I feel that almost all of the duties I am assigned could, and probably should, be performed by techs, while things...

OK, I received my :) letter from the AL Board on December 23 and sent in the remaining fee and a copy of the letter as requested. The check has cleared but I noticed this past Friday that I am still listed as an EI when I do a license search on the web site. Anyone know about how long it takes...

What is the general meaning of the term "resident engineer"? I've heard the title used before but was never sure exactly how the role of someone in that position differed from that of a "standard" staff engineer.

I'm calling it a wrap on the studying. I'm taking the day off Thursday, may go fishing or play 18 holes (not sure what I play can really be called golf but I have fun doing it). Bottom line is that I am going to try to relax and unclutter my mind, then just do my best on Friday. If I don't make...

Has anyone taken the exam and been faced with questions on lighting? If so, was it something that could be figured out without too much difficulty? I am trying to put the finishing touches on my prep but just realized I've barely thought about the topic. I am tempted to just blow it off and hope...

I'd like to find a few more practice problems for the upcoming exam; can someone give me some feedback on the above title? Was the wording and level-of-difficulty comparable to the actual exam? Was the extra practice worth the cost of the book? Thanks in advance!

Like a lot of folks, I am having difficulty finding as many practice problems as I would like, and have posted a question before asking prevoius examinees to compare the sample and real tests. As a follow-up, I am curious about the things on the test that were unexpected, such as topics you were...

I am trying to mentally formulate my strategy for the October exam (first attempt). Back in school, I would always work the easier problems first and come back to the more difficult ones later. I could see getting a few problems on the PE that might take me longer than I want to spend when I...

I was wondering if anyone who has recently taken the EE exam could compare the two in terms of level of difficulty, wording of the problems, types of problems, etc. Thanks.
