LMAO...Idk if I would have been happy for the free meal or would have thrown that money back at my boss. Really hope you get a raise during your review! Always feel obtaining a PE license should be rewarded monetarily even if by a little pay bump. For most, you literally put your life on hold...

Nice diss!

Oh I read it, it just was making points that I didn't bring up nor needed to be proven lol No comprende... I am already a licensed engineer. I am just commenting on the utter chaos the CA engineer board creates with their unorthodox application procedures compared to other states and the ever...

:wacko:  you try too hard and completely made up a non-existent argument lmao. My quirk is with the state specific exams and you went off on a useless tangent about PE exam pass rates, etc. What does a pass rate have to do with decoupling the state specific exams? Nothing gray beard. Correlation...

See the line I made bold from your response...No offense, but you don't sound like a person who has sat for a PE, SE, FE, etc. and/or are commenting on the ability of an engineer when it's not clear you are actively a practicing engineer. What engineer does not have to study for these exams...

CA licensing process is not very efficient especially for people out of state. They should decouple the state specific exams from licensing application and make it a true year round continuous test. It would make this process ten times smoother and allow people to study without the added stress...

The only way it correlates is that with a good GPA there is a better chance you retained some of the information from courses that may be useful on the exam. Beyond that I don't think there is a correlation. There are many masters students and PHD candidates who don't pass the PE exam. The exam...

I agree with ptatohed, it's up to you to corral your references and if you provided adequate notice (few weeks) or told them of the tight deadline if you didn't give adequate notice then they should understand a phone call from you. It's better to seem a bit pushy (which you won't anyways) then...

A few factors would come into play to determine the best system e.g. intended loading, any dynamic loading (if so a stiffer system should be utilized), etc. it's hard to base a building material off a span as they can all span 20' efficiently for most part. 

Does your employment references on the CA application need to match your NCEES record references? I am applying for the state specific CA tests to get a CA license through comity. In the instructions on the application it states the following on the engagement summary page: This makes no sense...

NO the AISC manual is not needed in morning, but find a way to download shear moment diagram tables as that will help visualize concepts and loading questions that may be asked in the morning.

x2...FE exam is not too bad especially given that it's CBT and you can "control+F" the workbook that goes along with the test. 

I wanted to start this thread to help foreign engineers with advice in applying for PE exam and career advice as far as process for obtaining proper documentation to be able to work within US. Below are a series of links and videos that I have come across that should help. If anyone has...

Great post!

1) I'd tab your EET notes in relation to the NCEES study guide topics. It will help reduce unnecessary tabs maybe. PPI offers an online problem solving for 30 day or 60 day access that was useful for me for the morning breadth.  2) I put about a month into the afternoon structural portion, not...

I was granted a NC PE license and I worked for 1.5 years under a roofing contractor and no PE's on staff. It was considered general construction experience which relates directly to engineering experience. I believe only two years needs to be under supervision of a PE and even then the board...

Same here PE me if anyone willing to sell course notes that are not needed anymore

NC results out, back to studying for me. Unacceptable both parts. Splitting up the exams this time around. Vertical in fall, lateral next Spring.

yea looks like a wash for today, but results should be here in due time Im sure. I'd rather them take their time and get the results right 

I am a bit confused on the registration deadline for the Seismic and Surveying exams. If I already possess a PE license from another state, I still have to meet the "new" file deadline correct? I was not expecting it to be so early (May 1st for this Fall cycle) and a little annoyed I may have to...
