This is a great list - exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!! I'm assuming you do electrical design for MEP? What's your background? Recent grad?

I have a mechanical engineering degree and am about 5 years out of school. I am a licensed PE in Texas. I work for a mechanical and plumbing contractor. I have been able to see the benefit of having a PE in the construction / contracting industry since I became licensed, which has been...

I haven't but I'd be interested in reading the feedback.  I was actually just on the ASPE website today for the first time. I am a mechanical engineer and I work for a HVAC and plumbing contractor. I am comfortable with HVAC design but lack knowledge in plumbing design. Do you have any good...

The best resource is this https://account.ncees.org/exam-prep/368 . From the website: "This book contains 80 questions and solutions to familiarize you with the PE Mechanical Engineering: HVAC and Refrigeration exam format." I bought this and used it myself; it's a practice exam and looks very...

If your company will reimburse you for all study materials / classes, I would definitely recommend signing up for a study course! Why not?! It looks like you have some work to do to get up to passing and a course will help you get more disciplined about studying consistently. 

I recently completed an MBA program that was "hybrid." Some classes were online and some were traditional face-to-face. There is a small university where I work/live so I could manage the face-to-face night classes during the week. The program and material was very easy. It felt like a cake-walk...

I'm in north Texas and work for a relatively small HVAC and plumbing design/build/service contractor. If we do design work, we normally bundle it into the overall job cost to secure the installation. We actually haven't ever done purely design work (providing stamped engineering drawings for...

Banned for too many posts in 24 hrs. 

@goodal and @ruggercsc I appreciate the responses but this doesn't help me very much! lol. I have been using AutoCAD and it seems to be the way to go.... at least for now. 

For the companies you are interested in, try to contact someone in the department you'd like to be working in. Call or email to ask him/her if they can go to lunch. If the lunch goes well, they could push their HR to get you going in the hiring process.

Is there a way to check grades for exams taken prior to April 2019?

Thanks for the feedback. I have spoken to a few architects and consulting engineers and it seems like all of them use AutoCAD. Since I don't have very much experience with AutoCAD, I think I will go that direction for now. And because it's an annual subscription, I can always re-evaluate if I...

Hi, A little backstory: I changed jobs a few months ago from working at an HVAC equipment manufacturer to now working at a small mechanical contracting company. One of the duties I have in my new role is to design HVAC systems and draw up layouts for architects and for our in-house install...

Long-time lurker, first-time poster.  I am selling my PE exam prep materials for the Mechanical HVAC exam. These are the only materials I studied with and the only references I brought with me to the exam. Using only these, I passed the October 2016 exam on my first try! Mechanical Engineering...
