Are there Engineering specific options are out there for job searches? I have a solid LinkedIn page, Indeed seems to be the best search tool and I frequent companies websites that I know I am interested in. I'm not getting what I want from these resources. Basically I know I want my next job to...

If I remember correctly I got a ton of extra junk mail (online and snailmail) when I joined ASCE. 

I'm interested in this too, I think I'll do the same thing for the next house we move into and because I am seriously considering adding a bedroom over our existing deck that would be relatively unconventional. Couple questions: What state? Are you going to design a "normal" house or are you...

I agree with above. I did 2 internships and hired on with a big contractor out of College (Civil Eng) in 2007. I ended up in a conversation with one of the high up guys in the division/company and he said they will hire CE's and CET/Construction Management Tech (CMT) when needed (this...

I was involved in Design Build project in Alaska once. I wish I could find the direct quote from the Forest Service but it went something along the line of "This river is known to have iceberg travel due to calving from the nearby upstream glacier. The nearby downstream Railroad Bridge has but...

I read a different article about this subject a few months ago. I think it was Vice News (citation noted). "Järlström told The Institute, “This case has always been about more than just me, and I’m thrilled that the court has put a stop to some of the engineering board’s worst abuses. Being an...

You probably don't need the 14th Edition of the Steel Manual, any recent one will work. I think I had the 11th Edition and was fine.

Probably because it always is lowest or second lowest. There was a good discussion a year ago when the Dec 2017 results came out.

First, I grew up in the Northeast, my parents grew up between Boston and the Cape. I have grandparents and Uncles still there. We stopped near Andover in August on the way to Logan Of all the "ridiculous" rules and standards I have seen in my travels through MA I assumed there was 2 PE stamps...

This happened to me as well. Here's a few pieces of advice in addition to above: - I didn't know it at the time but scheduling and cost estimating will be a part of the Construction PE Exam. Check out the Construction Exam requirements that NCEES provides and write toward that. - I actually...

I am licensed in a different state. What I am ultimately trying to figure out is if the NCEES record is worth the extra time as I am planning to license in CO already. I may license in other states over the next 10-15 years, but that isn't certain. I despise bugging people to verify my...

This helps a lot, thanks for explanation. I was getting references and experience verifiers mixed up/grouped together. I re-read the NCEES site and now understand. There's nothing wrong with your experience verifiers being a reference as well right? The Help section doesn't say one way or the...

Looking for actual experience from the people that have made a NCEES Record and the people that have approved others experience. I'm trying to understand this on a step by step basis, feel free to add extra or additional info. Obviously, I am looking for the "current" system, and recognize that...

I agree with above, especially the 2/3 to 3/4 part. You can just go as a part time as needed employee, but make sure you get a little higher hourly rate than normal assuming you wont get any benefits from the company. Also, make sure you take into account computer and software expenses. If you...

What happens with the work you "provide"? Are you consulting? Designing? To me, that plays a big role in what you can negotiate.  

SoPE Construction depth was extremely helpful, along with the AM Sessions. I think you will be all set if you take the class and do practice problems. I am not understanding the hate (via hearsay) for SoPE. The class was ideal for me, maybe it doesn't work for others. We did 1 week for each...

I am not in the Development civil engineering world, but I have had 6 good jobs since college (2007): every-time I left a good one for better one that had better lifestyle (pay, vacation, etc) or better career opportunities. Or both. My advice- market yourself accordingly and you can easily...

If anyone is looking to get rid of their PMP Exam Prep books please shoot me a PM. In particular I am looking for Mulcahy's 9th Edition and Crowe's 6th Edition. Others would be considered. Apologies if I am supposed to put this in the Yard Sale sub-forum. That one is full of PE Specific and I...

You're in a similar situation to me, except that I never considered Transportation as an option. Take the Construction exam, but pay the additional $1200 to $1500 on a review class- I took School of PE but PPI is another big one along with many smaller outfits out there. Your company may...

Very interesting, thanks for posting the links.
