Actually Owism, I think the way they are testing it makes the Tesla glass weaker and standing it vertical would make it stronger. I drew a couple of diagrams and my reasoning is that if you think about the panel as a simply supported beam bending will likely be the failure mode. Bending stress...

I believe the graphic you are looking for is the one attached. It appears in the NCEES 2016 Squared document ( http://ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/Squared-2016.pdf )

I wish I could work from home as well. I am jealous.

Spamming because it has been two weeks since we finished the exam and we still have likely anywhere from 3-8 weeks till we get results. 

What did you think of the PPI exam cafe? I know the questions on the exam cafe aren't quantitative but the practice exams, MERM companion and Six Minute Solutions didn't have a lot of non-quantitative practice and were almost all quantitative. I felt like I didn't struggle with any questions...

Attending a horrific meeting with company executives spam

Just saw the dog. He is feeling much better and was running around even!

Seriously, you need to break this up into a few paragraphs! They are your friend and make things easier to read! Don't be afraid to hit the enter key every once and awhile. 

Waiting on results is harder than I thought it would be... I feel the need to contribute to the spam... Went hiking yesterday with a friend and his dog. The dog hurt his paw on the hike. We took turns fireman carrying him back to the car. Drank a good amount of beer after that.

Down time

Pretty sure they are just trolling/teasing us. I think that is the tradition around here. :rolleyes: <_< I am pretty sure they send the survey to everyone at the same time. 

I agree with you on the 09 version! Why is it taking so long? I wanted to take it back in 2014 and they still haven't updated it! For difficulty, as a comparison, the PE exam I took on Friday was MUCH more difficult.  I ended up studying for about 2 months for a few hours each weekend. I read...

I went for the Senior (go big or go home! haha). I am not sure I would wait for the update to the 2009 standard. They have been saying they would update the exam to the 2009 standard early next year of whatever year it currently is for the last few years. The website says early 2017 right now...

Sounds a bit extreme to me. I skimmed through some of the letters and he did claim in his letter he is "already doing this kind of work" and even asked them if he could be a member on the state board. That seems to be the only reason the state board is so salty. Saying he was "practicing...

Dude I know how you feel. I did go back through and think about the exam (Mechanical Machine Design) and I am thinking I have more than a solid shot at passing, but there is just that uncertainty in the back of my head that won't go away that maybe I messed up enough things and didn't realize...

I remember when I took the pencil and paper FE the proctor said to turn in the pencil when we turned in the reference book. I just told them I wanted to keep it as a souvenir and they let me. I think they didn't want to get into an argument over a pencil, lol This time around they said nothing...

engineerdude123, berk10, What references did you bring? All I brought was the MERM, Shigley's, FE Reference Handbook and Machinery's Handbook. I also had a binder and some practice problems books(NCEES practice exam, Six Minute Solutions, PPI MERM Companion and PPI practice exam) but I never...

I do not think there are different versions of the exam given out, although I don't know for sure. I have not talked to anybody about the MDM exam as I didn't know anyone at the exam site or anybody personally taking it this session. This forum has been my only real support for the exam. In...

Engineerdude123, I felt the exact opposite about the Machine Design & Materials (MDM) exam. The morning I felt was much tougher and was very general/extremely broad. Although neither the morning/afternoon had any questions where I felt I needed to straight up guess, I did have a fair amount...
