I always thought you would be able to see tension rods from the ends of the beam if it is prestressed, but i was told by a contractor that is now always the case. There is an overhanging T-beam that we want to cut but someone pointed out it may be prestressed and not a good idea. I suppose the...

draw plans for architects hell, you have a PE, you could techinically do the full project (hopefully you’re a fast learner)

first, you don’t need engineering degree to get in that field, i think you should focus on that career directly and have the degree secondary. i guarentee there are thousands of grads who cant find a job out there. if you are good at what you do, you could make good money without the degree at...

don't recommend dr tom because they are very condescending, same goes for the mods here, pretty terrible quality to have

ugh i remember these i can't believe i passed the EE first try. you dont need the NEC for your work?

now that you ask, i think there were a shit load of errors and you constantly had to look at their errata. But I think you kinda don't have a choice but to use them anyways. Especially since it is easy to find a fellow test taker with whom you can discuss questions. I took the CE, EE, and ME...
