Many EACs are now hiring engineers with work remote arrangement. You might want to consider that. Feel free to reach out if you need help. I used to work for one of the largest and have connections. For personal growth and for getting the PE, don't stay too long with one company. You need...

Congrats on such illustrious career. I bet you must have lots of stories to tell in forensic engineering. What is your plan for the next chapter in life? I hope to follow your footsteps in a few years!

I use EZ-PDH (https://ez-pdh.com/my-courses/).

Virginia wins first place in boring seal design

Are you still looking. Candidates with your background (LV/MV, ITS, SCADA, FA/FP and a PE) would be walking on water where I am. The job market is very strange and polarized. Jobs demand is high in some areas but extremely hard to fill due to high COL. Some popular states (CA, TX) are...

I would probably study for both and go from there. Having a PE in either field on resume is a plus. Good luck with your exam preparation!

Fluke pen for size comparison. I can't read the print anymore (too small).

I'd keep up with CE credits in electrical to maintain the electrical PE. Some general CEs (such as state mandated ethics or contracting courses might be applicable to all fields and certain will be useful in transportation as well.

Would love to connect/discuss topics related to DC (data center) design, resiliency and power requirements (vs actual usage).

wow you guys made me feel really old... Perhaps I am the oldest PE taker (passed on first try but much later in my career when I realize I do need PE).

I took School of PE and it worked for me (passed on first try). It's a painful 6 weeks but it worked. Good luck!

I got a waiver from MD. I passed my PE there.

Did not know some states won't honor FE waiver even if you already passed the PE, which is a national exam. That's very silly/strange. Glad my work/position only requires a PE from any state!

I was in similar case as yours (many years out of school without the FE), never planned to focus in engineering fiedd but opportunities send me right into it. I opted to take my PE exam at a neighboring state, where the Board would allow me to sit for the PE exam without FE (I must submit proof...

I practice martial arts (been doing it for almost 15 years) and collect scale model cars. Also enjoy traveling, cooking and gardening.
