When I took the exam, they provided a TI-30XS Multiview calculator emulator, so you could walk into the test center without anything and still pass.

PA has not decoupled, but you can use experience before becoming an EIT to sit for the PE exam. Experience no longer has to be after becoming an EIT. Also, instead of EIT it is now Engineering Intern.

No. Get the CASIO Fx-991ex Classwiz. Same thing as 570, but it has solar power incase your battery dies during the test. Unlike the 115, conversions and constants work without the cover, and can solve 4 equations with 4 unknowns.

PA still does not allow taking the PE exam early, or decoupling like most states.

Yes, you have to apply for an Engineering Intern certificate after meeting the education/testing or experience/testing and background check/ethics oath requirements. Back in the old days, you had to be an EIT for 4 years, subject to the same discipline as a PE. With this new law, you can be a PE...

No longer EIT, it's Engineering Intern. It involves getting an ABET/EAC (recommended) or ABET/ETAC (not recommended) accredited degree and taking the FE exam in either order, passing background check, no experience required. There is a way to do it with 8 years experience, but the education...

Engineering experience before becoming an EIT now counts toward PE https://www.senatorbaker.com/2024/07/03/bakers-bill-modernizing-professional-licensure-for-engineers-surveyors-and-geologists-becomes-law/ https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/li/uconsCheck.cfm?yr=2024&sessInd=0&act=32 No...

Congratulations, you earned it. 30 years after graduating in a different discipline. I took my test on July 5 last year, had trouble sleeping the night before for some reason. After the test, I felt the same way “I bombed it. Or maybe I passed i…No I’ll have to take it again..” Just glad I...

Here's how I would do it. Find out how many you got right in each area. To do this, multiply the number of items by the performance divided by 15, and add them together. 4+3+4*.69+6*.34+7*.51+7*.38+8*.51+4*.63+5*.58+6*.49+7*.47+9*.52=38.44 Add up the total number of items: 70 Now divide: 38.44 /...

From the Arizona statute: 32-122.01. Qualifications for professional registration A. An applicant for professional registration as an architect, engineer, geologist or landscape architect shall: 1. Be actively engaged in education or experience, or both, in the profession for which registration...

You need to pass the FE exam, among other things, before you are eligible to sit for the PE exam.

What calculator, rayuribe? Extra props if you used the only calculator TI recalled https://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/archv015.cgi?read=74647

TI 36x Pro Used table function to approximate, used exponential regression, reviewed previous calcs for accuracy. Set up problems with fractions to see the inch-ft-yard conversions in-place. Solver works great. Don't handicap yourself with a cheap calc.

Congratulations on getting your RE (Retired Engineer) license. Not sure if I'll ever get that one. Hope you can avoid the DE (Deceased Engineer) license for a while.
