Certain disciplines are very code driven to be able to practice them one can probably get by using a design guide. Examples would be common building type work for structural, HVAC, or Electrical Power to a building. The majority of that design can be done simply by a designer, and it's just...

Yes, they will turn you down if you do not meet all of the current requirements for licensure in the state to which you are applying at the time of application, regardless of what states have granted it to you. In my experience, California only requires 2 years of work experience with an...

Yes, I would ask your clients to be references assuming you have had PE or simply people you have done business with. Yes, they have to be PEs unless you work for an except industry( which you don't according to your description) or you are taking an exam in a "non-restricted" practice such as...

Our profession deals with things that put people's lives at risk, albeit, not as directly as a medical doctor. Yet, I'm amazed at how few barriers to entry there are. I heard sometime ago California was trying to make a master's degree a requirement for a PE, people weren't happy.

Alright, my CERM is here along with a few sample exams. Can anyone offer any more insight about which depth section I should take?

It's usually hard to find on the website, but I've helped a few friends do their application recently> so here's you the link that you should use as your checklist. http://www.pels.ca.gov/applicants/appinstpe2.shtml Also I didn't see it on there, but I would add a copy of the pdf that is...

In California no continuing education is necessary. If your in a different state click on this link to NCEES state boards survey: https://apps.ncees.org/boardprofile/results...;question_id=99

Nope that's overlapping, just like Baz20 said. However, because you have you are in good shape. California, awards you 4 years of credit for an ABET BS degree, and and additional year for a Master's degree. I ran into this when I was sitting for the ME degree. For your master's the board...

Who cares what the darn thing looks like? I have my 3 university diplomas (all with Arnold Schwarzenegger's signature) and my 2 PE certifcates each in a $5.00 frame; and they are all 8.5 x 11. My coworker has his up with thumb tacks. They still command respect! However, imho, they are just a...

Wowzers, just read what wrote and doesn't make much sense...

Awesome. Mine is getting mailed to my office, so hope to see it on Monday.

For the exam be very careful not to confuse "slip" with "speed regulation" they are very closely related cousins of one another. Basically the difference is which value is used on the denominator.

The torque needed to be delivered to the platform will depend on how fast you would want it to accelerate ot 1.03 m/min. Also, what is the overall (motor to platform) gear ratio? What is the shape of the platform? It it a simple disk? Is that what you mean by "uniformly distributed"? We...

Let's go directly to the source, the test specs from NCEES. http://ncees.org/Exams/PE_exam.php All of the Civil exam indicate , "The exam uses both the International System of Units (SI) and the US Customary System (USCS)." Look at the early chapters of the CERM manual. I guarantee you will...

Some of us are good test takers and others are not. Some of us can pass an exam without studying (rare for the PE), while others require lots and lots of work. Some of us can afford to study, others cannot due do other obligations. There's a coworker at my office who has failed the EIT 5...

No, 900 rev/min would be the sychronous speed. That is the speed at which the magnetic field is spinning. For an induction motor the actual mechanical speed is always less than the synchornous speed due to slip. In other words the motor is always trying to "catch up" with the magnetic field...

Yes, I agree 880 rpm would be would you would see on the name plate (rounding).

Jeanbj2000, The nominal full load speed is the speed that you would see on the motor's name plate. That is the speed simple calculated from the synchronous speed and the the slip alone. In this case it would be: 900 -).02x900 = 882 rpm. Therefore 882 rpm is the "nominal full load speed"...

Thanks!

I absolutely agree, that it is a clash between class room world and real world, and yes, turns ratios aren't reported on the nameplate because quite frankly installing electricians don't care and many would not understand. However, the originator of this topic asked about a specific exam...
