    Any disadvantages of printing reference books (glover/sleva) instead of having the physical book?

    Older text books can be useful,  but code references should match the exam specs. There could be easy 'look up' questions on the exam that you could potentially get wrong if code requirements changed from the version you bring and the version in the test specifications.  In terms of risking...

    Any disadvantages of printing reference books (glover/sleva) instead of having the physical book?

    The only potential issue would be if there are any copyright laws broken by making the print and/or someone legally getting a PDF version but then selling it to other people.

    This will vary by school.  Each school will have their own prerequisites needed to enroll in the different degree programs.

Luckily I had 1 of my daughters blankets 8n the car that I used to cover the top and keep my stuff dry. My 2nd attempt I...

    anyone selling EET WRE binders?

    99% chance they are not. Per EET policy,  the end user is not allowed to sell the manuals.

    Welding References

    If a specific reference manual is not specified in the test outline, then its probably covered in the Steel Manual chapters that are referenced.  I knew there was no steel design questions on the exam so I actually had my old manual from college.  Through either EET or sampke questions,  i think...

    Michigan results

    In terms of which numbers are required,  the best place to check is the Licensing Board in your state. If you use the wrong 1 and get penalized,  they will not accept "my coworker has it this way".  In NJ, we actually received a document once we passed which listed the regulations for the seal.

    Signing Projects on the side

    Check your state regulations.  If im not mistaken some states allow you to do business based on the Professional License,  other states, you need to be setup as some sort of corporation.

    Formula sheet

    One thing to consider as you go through practice problems is make a list of common equations and then gave them grouped together in a seperare reference.  This way if you have multiple questions that are straightforward but you just want to verify the correct equation,  you wont need to flip...

    PDF to booklet ?

    You need to check with the publisher.  Some allow you to print out, and others have privacy features built in where the computer wont allow you to print it. For example, ASCE offers numerous reference guides online that you can order print or PDF. When you get the PDF, you can print it and each...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    It is best to contact a structural engineer to size it for you. While the span is important,  you also need to figure out the load that will be on the beam. It may just be regular floor load, or you may have a point load above that you need to take into consideration.  You also need to determine...

    Handwritten Notes and PE Exam Guideline Questions

    Its really a better safe than sorry kind of situation.  For the most part, people wont be bothered.  However,  if a proctor suspects cheating/writing in your references during the exam, its your word against there's and could be hard to plead your case on the spot if your reference notes are all...

    Determining Bridge Clearance?

    Whoever governs the waterway should be able to provide the answer. They should know what the other bridge heights are and what suze water crafts usually travel that water path.  Ideally,  you would want to at least match or be higher than the next bridge up and down stream from where you are.

    Designing My Own House / Structural

    While it seems like a tough process, its just a matter of knowing framing, basic beam calculations and running a bunch of calculations.  IRC will list the standard loads that the house needs to be built using. If you plan to do lots of entertaining,  or have a deck with waterfront views, the...

    Sewer Lateral Connection to Manhole

    Could be a functional restriction.  If someone was to be down there working,  I dont think they'd like having poop coming at them through the wall of the manhole.
