By hand Edit: Can you be a little more specific?  Do you have a particular material or lateral system in mind that you're asking about methods of calculating deflection for?  My answer was tongue in cheek because the question is a little vague...happy to give you my thoughts.  From what I've...

Hmm.  I'm pretty sure the firm I worked at for a year fresh out of school had all the PE's signing their documents with one of these, its just been a while so I don't remember for sure.  Might have to reach out...or maybe if we buy one and it doesn't work I can finally convince him to get...

Does anyone use one of these pads to sign/seal stuff?  Any recommendations of one that would work well?  We've got stamps/seals in Autocad, but need something else for letters and such...I've got bluebeam stamps set up for myself but my boss is old school print-sign-scan...

In the AEI SE review class this weekend people in the chat were discussing an email they got from the California board saying they can take it in Nevada since their was cancelled.  Not sure if it was all California testing locations or just a few...I'm not in CA so I can't say for sure

If the problem mentions a method, they want you to use that method...they're tricky but not downright mean

Where can I find this legislation? google is failing me... Edit: found it...

I haven't seen anything definitive about grandfathering, just speculation like here (this is a few years old, but I haven't found anything newer) https://www.ascega.org/legislative-affairs/

Sounds like good news.  Right now the board is kindof weird about it...they'll let you take the 8 hour PE only if you can convince them that you aren't and don't ever plan on working on 'high-risk' stuff (link).  By having the actual SE license, it sounds like it simplifies things for those...

If reducing the # of test takers is based on state specific regulations, then I feel pretty good about my test chances in South Carolina

Email from NCEES today...this is good news, it seems they're determined to have the exams in October.  There's a chance they can cancel some peoples exams if the center is too crowded and they need to reduce their numbers...that would suck. Hopefully they let people who were signed up for an...

Yeah, I dont know if its this way in all states, but in SC the SE takers already got their own table and they were already a few feet apart.  Cap the # of test takers (this possibility is why I signed up the first day)...find a 2nd testing center for the overflow...kick the CBT transition effort...

Lol.  Slight exaggeration...but if I have to take it next year I'll be studying with our first baby in the house.  Given the choice of peaceful studying and hazmat suit or studying with a baby and zero sleep...its close.  Either way, best case is they give everyone at the exam center their own...

I'll buy and wear a friggin hazmat suit and take the exam in the parking lot in 100 degree SC October heat if they'll let me take this test

I'd be interested to see split statistics between international and US born examinees.  Google says international students are 21% of engineering students.  Assuming all of them got their MS and took the FE at 23 like you, and even if some were already licensed and came over older, I'm still...

I did as well...I was going to take one in April and one in October, but with our first baby due early next year and the likely code change, I'm going to try to knock them both out in October. I'm taking AEI for both portions...should be a fun summer

I took the PE at 24...then SE first attempt at 27...next attempt this October at 29.  I'm also very surprised at the FE age. as pretty much everyone at my college took it while enrolled.

Were you asking them about this October exam?  Or the following April?

Nope, never heard of continental...I've only dealt with NCEES and South Carolina's licensing board.  Still no email telling me its cancelled.  If it wasn't for this board, I'd still be planning on showing up to the test site in a few weeks.

My dashboard is updated, back to the big red unacceptable. I asked about refunds...we'll be getting our exam fees back within 30 days. I still haven't gotten an email about the cancellation, so I don't know if the emails you guys are getting mentioned refunds.

Ouch.  I ran a marathon (my second) in January, and the next weekend the AEI classes started. I'm not really that big a runner, but I had followed a fairly typical 18-week training plan.  If my race had gotten cancelled a few weeks out, I would have been disappointed...but secretly a little...
