I had the CERM, SDRM, SERM, AISC, ACI 318, NDS, and the masonry code.  I reviewed problems out of these when I only did self-studying the first time I took the test.  The second time I took the EET Depth Course.  The course helped to eliminate a lot of the unnecessary information that you won't...

I took the EET structural depth on demand course in preparation for the October 16 exam.  I did self study only the first time I took the exam and failed with a 52/80.  EET's course are highly regarded as being well worth the money.  Do the extra problems at the back of each section and know how...

How good are the binder that EET provides for the SE courses?  I took their Civil-Structural Depth On-Demand and the binder was my main resource for the afternoon.

Code-based structural design courses can be a bit difficult.  In particular my two concrete classes were probably the most difficult at the time.  These were reinforced concrete design and prestressed/masonry concrete design.  The reinforced class was taught well and I learned the material...

Six minute solutions is a good resource for making sure you understand concepts.  However, the problems are way more in depth than what you will see on the exam. I'd recommend the NCEES practice exam for a more realistic view on what problems on the exam will look like.

For the afternoon depth you have the choice of: construction, geotechnical, structural, transportation, water resources and environmental.  The morning breadth will cover aspects of all of these and more.  Reference: http://ncees.org/engineering/pe/. I to have used the Exam Café from PPI. ...

I ended up taking the exam twice before passing.  The first go around the company I work for paid for the ASCE Civil/Structural PE Exam Review Course.  It did a great job of reviewing the morning portion but only provided one 2-hour session on reviewing for the afternoon.  I felt confident about...

Not sure if anyone has done it, but what advantage would one have by having their PE licenses in both mechanical and civil?  I have a civil/structural BS and a mechanical MS.  I have worked as a test engineer, structural analyst, fabrication engineer, project engineer, etc.  I recently passed...

Government contractor here.  No raise associated with getting my PE since it is not required to perform work.  Company paid for exam fees, book, and review course. I got licensed for prestige and resume booster.  Also I didn't want to take it later in life if/when I need it.

Mine changed from EIT to PE yesterday.  Civil here.

Civil/Structural April 2016: Company paid for ASCE civil review course (breadth). I briefly looked over code references prior to exam.  Went through NCEES practice exam.  Solved a few problems for each afternoon area.  Failed with 50/80. October 2016: Re-reviewed ASCE breadth notes.  Paid for...

Thanks for the insight!

+1.

I have a BSCE and MSME.  I just passed the Civil PE, Structural Depth.  Not quite sure what to do next.  I work at a DOE complex for a government contractor that doesn't require you have your PE.  I took the exam because I am still young and wanted to get it done before starting to have kids. ...

EET Structural Depth participant here!  I took the On-Demand Course and spent my weekends watching the sessions and solving the sample problems.  Overall, I used the binder for about 80-85% of the questions on the structural depth.  The remaining questions were either conceptual or code look...
