    Sandy

    I'm in nj and haven't had one of these storms at least in my adult life. Where I'm at there's just trees and wires down and the residents are all up in arms over loss of power. I went with my fire company to help out a shore fire department over the weekend and found their town basically a...

    How much did you spend on your PE license frame?

    I think I spent around $50-75. If you think about it though... what's $200 in the grand scheme of things involved with that license? That's one damn expensive piece of paper we have.

    I'm really bummed.... (yes another pencil thread - sorry)

    well that sucks... a lame standard pencil... good call on the decoy pencil... mine's just carelessly hanging out on by book shelf and will probably be stolen. I'll have to invest in either the fireproof safe or a security team.

    Taking over for another engineer?

    Reasonable and ethical, yes. It'd be wrong of course if you just sealed them without even looking at them.

    aren't "slide in" binder covers technically a violation?

    I had the same thing and nobody bothered me about it. If you're worried about it just tape the opening so that the paper is not "loose"

    PE Exam continuing education requirment

    Good question... I have the same one. The board's website and documentation they've sent me says nothing... And I've been dreading calling Newark about it since they had no record of me passing the FE even after I passed the PE. Please post if you find a definitive answer!

    What is the manliest thing you ever did?

    Indeed they do. Extremely hard to imagine that. I was responding out to two separate fatal motor vehicle accidents this past week, both of which were in the area where my wife and my family drive... I was about to tear up just thinking about the possibility it was my wife or anyone in my family.

    Overwhelmed

    The CERM problems were insane and I felt way overwhelmed working those, especially when one problem was taking me well over an hour as I re-learned material. Like others have said though- you don't need to master everything. I took transpo and during my studying I decided to pretty much skip...

    Order of the Engineer

    I went through the induction, wore the ring for a very short while afterwards. I sort of forgot about it until I read this thread actually... and now that I think of it, I can't remember ever seeing another engineer wearing the ring

    Hobbies?

    I'm in the has-an-almost 2year-old-club, so don't have much time for it... but when there is free time- mtn biking, kayaking, rock climbing. I still make time for a little reading though. oh and drinking if that does in fact qualify as a hobby.

    Studying for the PE - Where to start?

    I mostly used the CERM... started with the AM subjects and left transportation for second half of my studies

    Transportation PM Important Subjects

    I went through the HCM, MUTCD and RSDG to familiarize myself with where everything was at. I also spent time working HCM related problems to make sure I could get through any analysis type problems

    Things you do to at work to get/stay healthy?

    For myself, none of the above. Pretty much an unhealthy week at work. A few years ago I was on a kick with riding my bike to work, but between project meetings, child at daycare, more meetings, the occaisional side work in the evening.... that kick just ended.

    AM practice problems

    I used the CERM 10th ed practice problems. and the 2008 NCEES practice problems. The CERM problems were extremely frustrating and had me scared going into the test, but I found that they had forced me to (over?) prepare for the test. I saved the NCEES problems for the week before the test to...
