I have very little or no respect to guys with BS degree. BS = Bull S**t and on top of that Bachelor of Technology...Hell no....

I am licensed Engineer with a MS degree and was asked by my previous employer to report to a guy who is an Engineering technology major. I refused, changed my job with a title as Team lead in a F-100 company. Hey by the way got 10% pay raise with job change, new office and excellent benefits.

I am a licensed engineer and worked on valves all my life. As per my knowledge, when gate valve opens or closes under fluid pressure more resistance is offered by valve disc. Compared to ball which is already inline with fluid flow. A butterfly valve has even less fluid resistance. I bet it is...

PE's, After I passed my MD-PE exam I emailed my manager and COO of my company. I got congratulations email from COO and a firm handshake from my manager. BTW I work for a manufacturing company. After I passed I was reimbursed for my PE application fee and exam fees which was around $565. My...

Guys, I am soooooooooo happy. After last time fiasco (Oct-11) I really studied hard.Finally a chapter of my life is over.

Gentlemen, Passed!!!!!!! I am now a Professional Engineer. Texas Board Of Professional engineer. Mechanical systems and Materials. Score : 91%. PS: This was my second attempt. Its time for a promotion and a pay raise.

I played Head and Tails game. Tossed a quarter coin 5 times. 3- times heads I passed; 3-tails I fail. Got all 5-times tails, I guess I did not make it.

I was on a complete Veggie diet one day before exams and day of exam. I had couple of sandwiches of potato patties (Kroger Brand) with onions and tomatoes. I also had lots of yoplaint yogurt. It is scientifically proven that yogurt helps in controlling acidity and keeps stomach at right PH...

I feel that we should have results (majority of states) before memorial weekend. Just a guess looking at past result dates.

Outlaw, I agree that many disciplines like Civil have a very high cut scores like 55-56/80 question correct = 70%. But you cannot base your assumptions on other branches of engineering. For Mechanical TF/MD/HVAC cut-scores are very low, my buddy who scored 56/80 was on 82% for MD. Also unlike...

MizzouMatt, Nope 46/80 was passing score for MD last time around. 44/80 was 68% and 45/80 was 69%. PE exams are graded on a curve and not on number of correct answers. If it was graded on number of correct answers like getting 56/80 correct = 70% I would have never made it through :) ...

Krakosy, I scored 44/80 last time and 46/80 was the passing score. I remember one of the guy in this forum scored 69% with 45/80 correct (MD-Depth). Looking at Apr -12 exam I feel that again 45-46/80 will be the passing score because it was of same/more difficult than Oct -11 exam. If I dont...
