Glad I can be some help to you during your studying and reference material gathering adventure (looking back this may the be tougher part for this PE exam). Well for the PE, they don't look at anything other than your answer, so backup/neatness doesn't matter (which can be both an advantage and...

Good for you to start collecting reference material. Glad to see you found this tread, and congrats on your first post. If you have any questions feel free to ask and welcome to the fourm.

Mike you are welcome for the advice, I am glad I can be of assistance (and that my AE-PE exam thread is actually getting some activity!! I know how little is out there on this exam). I think it is fine to have limited work experience on portions of the AE-PE exam, for example I do electrical...

I have not had to deal with reciprocity issues, all the states around here have the AE. I think a state that doesn't have the AE-PE may not let you get a PE liscense in that state? The best thing to do is call which ever state you think you may submitt a comity application to and see what...

It sounds as if my weakness are your strenghts! I think the most difficult part of the AE-PE is getting stuff together to feel comfortable to sit for the exam, since few take it there just isn't much out there direclty for it.. Like I said before, all the subjects on it there are books/etc for...

The number of replies on this thread is low.. but thats ok, I knew it would be but still wanted to help those very few who are going to take the AE-PE. Since you like doing electrical, I think that portion will be pretty easy for you as should the HVAC questions. As I said I did the HVAC depth...

Talked with the company today who builds the blades, 15-20 years depending on who makes them is their life expectancy.

I agree wind power is great as an additional source of energy. I have heard from a somewhat creditable source that on days where the wind isn't blowing, that the wind farms buy energy from the grid to keep their blades rotating as being stopped for a prolonged period of time would cause...

They had their current building for sale at one time and I talked to the gal there, she indicated the taxes were too high and they were going to try to sell the building and move... I don't remember seeing a for sale sign on there lately? Maybe they just decided to stay after all..... it was...

Corner Marking is Great (you spelled it wrong the first time, must have been typing too fast). I end up getting lot of engraved stuff done there. I heard they are looking at finding a new location.

I attached what I have for a reference list that I had found. There are a lot on the list, I don't think it is possible to bring them all. I do want to say one thing about the 'year' of the code book. One that is the current code cycle is great, but using one that is up to a few code cycles...

Glad it helped since it did take awhile to type! I think the CM part is basic anyway, I had one CM class and thought that part of the test was easy. I think a lot of people avoid the AE exam (aren't aware of it, lack of people who have taken it, lack of study materials for it). Good luck...

In the last few years they made some large changes to our exam here from where I hear. I am not going to put in nearly as much effort into this exam as I did for the PE... hopefully I pass otherwise I will be taking it again (6 month wait). I have heard that the master's is mainly...

After getting back to back 12" storms last year, I bought a snowblower - just a single stage gas powered. It pulls itself along pretty well when there isn't a lot of snow - sometimes is does need a push through the snowbank - sure beats shoveling.. But my driveway is only 5' long x 34' wide...

Finding resources/study materials for the AE exam is one of the toughest things, I went through all of this myself. I also debated what exam to take (AE or EE-power). If you work on MEP on a daily basis, I think you really need to give taking it serious consideration. Finding references/books...

Good question as I think many are not familiar with the term. Architectural Engineering is really a mix or renaming of other types of engineering specifically for the building construction industry. Most people with an AE degree probably refer to themselves as: 1) Structural Engineers 2)...

Even before I took/passed the PE exam in April (by like 2 years), work has been after me to take the Minnesota Class A Master Electrician Exam... but now they are really hounding me about it. It would be nice to get it done before the exam is updated for the next code cycle (2008 NEC) which MN...

Thought I would start a topic for the Architectural Engineering PE Exam. I know there is not a lot of reference material for this exam, so if anyone is planning to take it in April (Only time its offered) feel free to use me as a resource (I took it April 2007 and passed).

Good Luck everyone... hard to believe it has already been 6 months since I subjected myself to that test.

I took the FE senior year of college, October 2001, General afternoon and passed. We had a 1 hour review class at college for like 10 weeks that I attended. I studied some on my own and some with a group of people, probally a total of less than 40 hours. If I was out of college awhile I would...
