    Map: October 2015 PE Results Released

    Kansas traditionally wouldn't update their website or NCEES before mailing but they did this year, so there's always hope.  If not, I would wait at the mailbox too.

    Lone Wolf state?

    As a veteran myself, I appreciate getting a free meal on Veteran's Day and the occasional discount when I purchase something.  I don't understand this one, though.  Most veterans with 10+ percent disabilities these days have PTSD as a result of their experience, which can make it difficult to...

    For those discovering they didn't pass...

    Did you have all of the required references and have a decent understanding of their content?  A useful trick I learned from this board was to scan and print all of the indexes into a separate binder so you're not having to flip back and forth in the references themselves when hunting for...

    Big 3 PE (Mech, Civil, Electrical) or own company

    It would be really impressive to pull a P.E. hat trick, but I don't see how an additional PE would automatically lead to more money and recognition.  Maybe you could be a petroleum engineer by day and an electrical engineer by night, like Batman with an engineering utility belt.

    NJ Minimum Passing Score Revealed for FE and PE

    I tried to pump my own gas in NJ one time.  I'm no longer welcome back.

    It looks like Nuclear tied with Civil-Construction for lowest pass rate for 1st timers.

    KS results are out

    Congrats to both of you!  I was nervous that they might have released the results in error at first but my KSBTP license search shows the same.  I think that makes a total of 3 non-lurkers from Kansas that took the exam this time around and so far we're 3 for 3.  Not a bad record.

    Post here if you passed

    Passed here in KS, Civil-Construction.  I was pleasantly surprised that they updated NCEES and the KSBTP website so I didn't have to wait for the mailed letter to get my results.

    Mine too!  I'm assuming this means we passed and Kansas can be added to the map as well.  Congrats!

    NJ Minimum Passing Score Revealed for FE and PE

    Assuming at least one problem was thrown out, it was probably 54/79=0.68 vs 55/79=0.70 so one problem might have gotten you over the hump.  Glad you got it the second time around!

    Map: October 2015 PE Results Released

    I'm pretty sure PCS is a private contractor which has no problems asking their people to come in on a Sunday, especially after they were out of the office the Friday that results were released to them for a Christmas party (per other threads).  Good luck getting government employees to come in...

    Cut Score revealed

    True.  If a bridge design fails, the first heads to roll will be the engineers who stamped the original design and any change orders.  Regardless of the ethical responsibility to the public, it's just not smart to put your name and professional future on the line for something you can't stand...

    Mechanical exam

    Kiewit Power has a team of engineers who specialize in nuclear energy but they haven't won a major project ($500M+) in years because of the downturn in the industry.  A smaller company would have laid off the entire team, but Kiewit plays the long game.  The nuclear industry will likely come...

    COME ON CA!

    For what it's worth, Kansas hasn't mailed any envelopes yet.  And when they do, NCEES still won't be able to tell us if we passed or not.  We have to wait for the envelope.

    Wait to add P.E. after name?

    It's either that, or the first clue to a Breakout Room in Austin that gives you your P.E. license if you can escape within one hour.
