Any word on when certificates will be delivered? Glad you finally received your license.

Sparky- I moved to the panhandle of FL in early Jan. and I received my license/pocket card almost two weeks ago.  Even stranger, I received the packet, mentioned above by others, about a week or so after I received the license.  I would think you should've gotten yours by now...?  Has Ms. Wanda...

-Read the first sentence after -Nope-... The opportunity around the time I took the PE is the job I accepted.  This has been in the pipeline for a while, as most jobs worth even taking a look at are. -Last day at this job -What power? The power to not GAF cause I have another, much...

Nope.  Took the PE in Oct. 2016 and had an opportunity around the time I took the exam.  Posthumously, for the exam anyway, I received an offer that slated me at $8,000 higher on annual salary, and this was before I received the passing notice.  I have since accepted and anticipate growth beyond...

You may be right.  I'm just so used to processes like this taking much longer than they should, at least superficially.  I will say the TN State Board has been pleasant to work with and they do expedite better in relation to how other Boards appear to operate.

Units would be wrong; however, with that said, the only time P=S=VI is at unity power factor.  Much like Q=S=VI at 90 degrees, which is a purely reactive load.  Though these quantities are the same at these given conditions, the units are not the same.  100W is not the same as 100VA, just as...

I would guess ~30 days

I, too, work for a three-lettered power company, but not the one you do.  

P=VIcos(theta)  (real power...i.e. usable power delivered to a load)  *Note: theta is the power factor angle, also inherently known as the angle between voltage and current, in which the current leads or lags the voltage, or even the impedance angle S=VI (apparent power) S=P+jQ (complex...

No, Mrs. Phillips in Nashville said they were mailed Monday.  USPS must be dragging their blankey, and their feet, cause it's Christmas... My brother mailed a package from Jackson last Friday and I didn't receive it until yesterday.  Carrier pigeons or the pony express would be more expeditious...

I gathered that tone from most posting here.  I thought it was a very fair test, tricky, but fair.  Nothing like I expected, at least with how the questions were framed.   With that said, it tested your ability to apply concepts ad nauseam.

I would guess @TWJ PE is saying he works in power system reliability (which encompasses performance, coordination, relay settings, loading and so forth....reliability is a mixed bag), not reliability in the sense of failure rates etc. that you would encounter in manufacturing processes.  Quite...

Symmetrical only relates to 3-phase faults (bolted or to ground - which really isn't a fault to ground).  No other fault will be symmetrical.  Period.  Hence, Fortescue developed the technique of symmetrical components to accurately analyze asymmetrical faults (LG, 2LG, LL).   As for your other...

Congrats @REsonance503!  Good to know we weren't alone.

Chemical Engineer?  All the alchemy is making my head spin... No, wait, that's the booze!!!

To be honest, I don't know that what I learned in college would have been of much help for the "theory" heavy topics.  I picked up on the "theory" by picking up books, articles, anything I could get my hands on, and reading until I was blue in the face!!

Sorry to hear, Mike.  You'll get it next time.  Enjoy the Christmas season and get after it in January.  Good luck!

Classic!! Y'all remember when B-B-Bobby Boucher showed up at halftime and the Mud Dogs won the Bourbon Bowl, do ya?

l I posted this earlier, unfortunately, it was in the wrong thread but intended for you.  However, here it is: The best thing to acquire for the eng. econ. problems is a complete table of interest rates and terms (years).  At this point, it becomes a straight plug and chug if you know what to...

The best thing to acquire for the eng. econ. problems is a complete table of interest rates and terms (years).  At this point, it becomes a straight plug and chug if you know what to solve for.  That's what I did for this administration and it helped.  The best advice I can give for this test...
