    Questions on Requirements For PE and SE Exams

    No experience required to take the FE. PE experience depends on the state. I'm not in a state that has SE, but I imagine PE would be required. Look into Maine for the FE. No board approval required, and you can take the test remotely in any state.

    Can I give exam in one state and apply for license from another state

    For 1, Yes in most cases. Some states have a residency requirement, so obviously it won't work in that case. Definitely check with the state board. For 2, Texas requires a Texas EIT certificate. Use the NCEES record. Send SC results to NCEES, then from there send it to Texas.

    KVL/KCL FE Electrical Question

    Look at the first schematic. The only voltage applied across the three resistors (5, 10, and 20 Ohm) is the 100V battery. The 40 Ohm has 300V applied across it. This example is different. Each side is balanced with 3A * 1 Ohm = 3V on the left side, and 3 Ohm * 1A = 3V on the right side. 3V on...
