Or one can consider changing career?

It is unfair that hard working engineers get discredited easily.

Why does CA need more time than the other states?

I guess 70% of the civil engineers doing that field should quit their jobs? Even with a curved grading, they should not be failing people deliberately like that.

Why would they change it to 3 weeks? The wrote 2 weeks.

Check what you will get (salary) as an entry level designer, and compare that with what you are and will be getting. Is it worth doing another degree? Assuming that you do not have experience in design/civil, it will take years (degree years + experience) before you can take the PE. Civil...

I don't think the Koch brothers have PE.

To be honest, in your field, it won't serve you much in the long run, probably zero.

Good for you, don't look back. When you are done with MBA, shift your focus on marketing, revenue generation, and bringing in the money. Forget about engineering.

Sounds abysmal.

Civil engineering is one of the easier engineering fields to get in.

Or the other reason is that we didn't learn anything tangible in our CE undergrad, and now you need read from a cookbook and then test you how fast you can look up an equation? At least that's what I've heard from my friends. I don't know.

Looking at the high fees and the amount of entities that I need to deal with just for the application, I feel like sometimes that are they are out there just out to take my money, and not so much on really educating people.

Thank you for all your comments, though I do not understand some of the implied meaning of some of the picture comments. To be clear, I am a civil engineer. But I respectfully disagree with many of the statements that you have made. As you may know, only one counterexample is required to...

Hi matt267, It seems you are correct: http://www-mdp.eng.cam.ac.uk/web/library/enginfo/aerothermal_dvd_only/aero/fprops/cvanalysis/node41.html Thanks, Dummy

I'm using CERM 14th Edition. The formula Ev = v2/2 shown in Section 2 is general; it does not refer to uniform, turbulent, or any type/regime of flow. (I think the terms "uniform" and "turbulent" are supposed to mean two different things). Also, if you read carefully in that section is says...

This has been a nagging question - why is the civil engineering industry so focused on certifications and professional exams for a work that is in general quite repetitive and boring? Let's face it, most procedures in civil engineering are tried and tested methods, have been extensively...

In the CERM Chapter 16 (Fluid Flow Parameters): In Section 14, it says that for laminar flow, kinetic energy is E_v = v_ave^2 whereas in Section 2, it says that kinetic energy is E_v = v^2/2 Can anyone explain why the factor 2 is missing? What is the relationship between v of Section 2 and...

Hi, Does anyone know why certain appendices (e.g., App 14.H and 14.L, referred to in Chapter 14) are mentioned in the CERM, but the appendix is not available at the back? I'm using CERM 14th Ed. Thanks. Dummy

Thanks for the link. When it comes to the Structural Section (CERM, codes, etc), how much of it is necesssary for the AM and PM? Does one need to read all the steel, concrete, timber, and masonry design stuff? Thanks.
