I actually had to overnight mine to the TX board on the day it was due. I heard back about two weeks later. They send you all kinds of emails telling you what stage of approval you are in, and that they have received the application/ transcript. That being said they cashed the check right...

There is no way anyone would have time to figure out if one module is easier than the other....

anyone taking the ME exam in any discipline needs the Cameron Hydraulic Data book.

I don't know about you guys but I have trouble putting P.E. behind my name on the signature of my email. I definately ordered new cards, but it just feels too pretentious. (is that the right word?) Maybe its because I have the least amount of experience of any of the engineers in my...

Texas doesn't require that a PE that you worked with endorse your application. They will take any PE who knowingly submits a reference of your character. Basically saying that he or she believes that your aren't lying about your experience at company A. I got my father in law to...

So I got the stamp of my seal today. Since the Texas Board wants a copy of your stamp and signature on file along with a photo, (I guess this is for forgery protection), I set up my camera on a tripod, got dressed up on a coat and tie... (no pants) If you have seen the news anchor in HIMYM...

some states require a 70% score to pass by law. But the test is curved to achieve similar pass fail rates in each state. One states 55% might be equivalent score to another states 70%.

Studied maybe 80-100 hours. All of it was studying the NCEES sample exam for mechanical. I worked the whole thing twice through and made sure I understood every question. Mechanical Thermal Fluids. Took it once and passed. Got an 88, but I only felt like I got 55 out of 80 questions...

Supe... LOL

Extremely agree with Ecoli. Thermal Fluids is the way to go. The only thing I studied was the NCEES sample test and I got an 88. There is way too much reference material needed for machine design, and unless you work in HVAC there are too many codes that they could ask you about. Cameron...

Assuming a reservoir pressure of 15000 psi that puts the pressure at the wellhead some where around 500 to 1000 psi over the hydrostatic pressure of the sea floor. Average OD of the wellhead or BOP section is at least 36in. Any sealing surface would act like a hydraulic piston with a force...

I got an 88 and I think I got about 35 questions correct in the morning and only 20 correct in the afternoon in mech Thermal Fluids. That would put my raw score somewhere around 69%. With the amount of people who get 69's out there I feel like they must draw a line in the grades and try to...

I passed first attempt. Got an 88. This is the first post I have ever written as I had to wait due to my screen name... Thanks for all the advise. :party-smiley-048:

Some companies offer in house courses for employees that they sell seats for to other people. I know Anadarko in Houston does this. I would not be surprised to find out if the majors had these as well.
