    Best City to take California PE Exam?

    I took the FE in San Diego back in 1995. We took the test at the convention center downtown. It was a good facility, but wear pants and bring a sweatshirt.

    Penn State Mess

    That sentence was not in the story I read. But I could see them taking a chainsaw to the travel/transportation budgets of most of the non-revenue sports.

    Penn State Mess

    Well the NCAA **** all over Penn State Football, but the real question out there is how will the loss of football revenue affect all the non-revenue sports?

    America is NOT the greatest country in the world anymore

    Those of you who have traveled/worked overseas can back me up on this. With VERY FEW exceptions, you go to any country in the world and on any given Monday morning there is a line of people waiting to get into the US Embassy, and to a lesser extent the UK/Commonwealth embassies, to apply for...

    Granted I went to Texas, and we all know that Austin is the land of beautiful women. But we had quite a few stunning young ladies in the ChemE Department.

    Deepwater Horizon Disaster

    Being in the industry, I have a little different perspective. The major players in the petroleum industry see licensure as a big issue that is about to knock on the door. They were burned by some of the manpower decisions that were made in the 80s during the oil glut and most of them are...

    FE exam as a chemical engineer

    I got my BS in Chemical Engineering also. According to the newsletters my old school sends out, the demand for entry-level Chem Es is so high in some areas that having a EIT is nice, but not required. I would recommend taking the test while you are in school.

    Double Standards

    A friend from work came back from Nigeria yesterday so he came by the house after work and we had a couple. He likes Flor-de-Cana and Coke. I ranted a bit, mainly because we see the public school system going down the drain because of low standards, crappy teachers and "politcal correctness"...
