Last year the deadline was December 17th, after NCEES registration had opened and you had to included your proof of registration in your application package. This year it got pushed up to December 5th, before the registration has opened, however, according to the following link you still then...

Yes, I guess it must depend on location/proctor. When I took the ME exam some lady taking the Civil exam rolled in with a wagon... not the little red wagon but one that was roughly 6ft long X 3 ft wide. In the wagon she must have had 60 binders (I don't know why since you only have 5 min per...

Let's look at the intent. What they are concerned with is someone bringing in a bunch of loose blank papers just to copy exam questions, conceal them and take the out of the exam room. That said, in theory you can bring a binder full of blank sheets and copy away, but it would be easier for...

I don't think you will have a problem in most states. I looked on the NCEES survey... it is a survey asked to individual licensing boards. That question exactly was asked and here are the responses state by state: https://apps.ncees.o...&question_id=98 If you want to see all of the...

I can give you plenty. Believe me it has it's perks. :-)

Most of my electrical experience came from designing solar photo voltaic systems and some building wiring.... No they aren't separate references. Yes, I will have to borrow one of the old sample exams from a friend... because the new NCEES samples exams don't have all of the depth sections...

I do a little bit of everything. Water distribution piping & pumps...that qualifies me for water (also when I took the mechanical engineering exam there is lots of overlap). My job involves lots of construction management and planning so that would qualify me for that section. Also build...

I'm already a PE in mechanical and electrical. I just want to complete the trifecta....with Civil. There are many reasons for this. At the top of my list is because I want to learn it and for me it is a lot easier to get motivated to learn if I'm working towards a measurable goal (passing...

Good question. I'm signing up for the Civil PE exam for ***** and gigs (already a PE so don't really need it). I can't decide which depth section to take since I'm equally qualifed (or unqualified if you look at it that way) for all of them. Too many choices: Water Resources/Environmental...

When does this open? I was trying to register for some exams and it says that it has not opened! Deadline for california registration is decmeber 5th. They sure are waiting until the last moment!

I would suggest taking the exam out of state if you can't get them to budge. For example in CA, you have to first become licensed in Civil, before you take structural.... It is usually pretty easy once you are licensed in one state to get licensed in another by comity.

Do you have the Electrical Engineering Reference manual... latest edition for Power? If so, all the formulas you will need are in that one lighting chapter. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Agreed, you should not have references outside of your industry, since they would not be familiar with your work. When you said you wouldn't use aerospace engineers or telecom engineers, you are probably correct. However, I was talking engineers in an specific industry, not a specific job...

I read this a couple years ago so the definition may have been updated... Except industries are: government employees, aerospace, or telecommunications.

It varies by state. However, the backgroud is that Civil is the grand daddy of all engineering disciplines. The name Civil comes from civil works projects. In the early 1900's as buildings started to get more complicated, with elevators, hvac, and lighting, ect. it was determined that a...

130 #/cubicft is the weight of saturated soil. That includes the water weight.

True, there are plenty of frightfully stupid/bad college graduates... :bananadoggywow:

Yeah you can't. Current board rules only allow for CA specific exams to only be offered in CA.
