A shorthand way to think about your experience writeup: be sure to carefully describe how your involvement made the project better. If you merely observed, then you didn't change the project (yourself) although you may have reported information to others who then changed the project. Show how...

NY does not require that the FE is passed before the PE. I know of someone who passed the PE first, but took a few years of trying to pass the FE after that before he made it. You can take both - PE on Friday and FE the next day, but I think few people could be fully prepared for both and...

IF you want, write up a project description and post it here - and we can all make suggestions to improve it.

Chucktown - Beyond a doubt, you need a different job with a different emphasis. I think there's lots of good discussion here. JR said much of what I wanted to say - and quite well. I agree there's more going on with you than a burning desire to be a doc. I agree you need to know way more...

Thinking about my strong and weak areas using this form really helped me focus my study efforts. I made versions for all five major civil disciplines. If you find any errors, please let me know - or fix them and post the revised version. This is one of my "thank yous" for the help I got here...

Just follow the instructions very very carefully in your writeup. Describe the scope of work, your role, your tasks, any standards followed. Anything that says "participated in" "involved with" gets a zero credit because it's too vague. You need to say precisely what you did. I've heard...

Here it is again. (Guess it gets deleted after a while.) PE_Study_Plan___April_2009.xls

simply mention codes (for you UL, emissions standards, NASA requirements maybe?) and standards of practice. There have to be some, you just may have to hunt to find what they are. They're looking to see that you can do designs that fit within established criteria. I'm in civil construction so...

Read your private messages (re: moving to upstate NY) Bricky

very thought-provoking question..... My husband is one of the natural engineers who can make anything work and even predict with reasonable accuracy how long it will take him to invent a unique, never been done successful solution. And he's good enough with theory that he can translate between...

In NY, you can choose the city you want to take the test in. I imagine NYC has many sites, so I don't know how that works. Choices for PE are: NYC Albany, Syracuse Buffalo FE has zillions of choices in the Spring because many colleges with Engineering programs offer the exam. Fall FE...

I think it's because none of us end up in this career by accident. No one suffers through those endless problem sets without wanting the prize at the end -- when instead, we could be taking classes with some reading and a midterm and maybe a final paper. We know we can support ourselves and...

overall I agree that female engineers get undeserved crap at times but everyone gets some bias: there's the "kid" who looks fresh out of college who can't get respect and the greybeard who is assumed to be a has-been...even though they're both great engineers. Us females don't get to try...

I'll bite. I find I'm rather memorable....I don't have to struggle to be noticed or remembered. Now and then, this is embarrassing if I can't return the favor, but all in all it's a plus.

Once the dust settles, the two of you need to deal with this issue: You bought a dress, Mrs. Chuck loved it, and (I think) due to no action of Mrs. Chuck you got angry at Mrs. Chuck and said you'd never buy her a dress again even though she loved it. (I'd be infuriated if I were Mrs. Chuck.)...

Cheers!

Chuck, I'm totally with you on this one...you're 100% right. Still... ultimately it comes down to: how much would you pay have your wife happy? If it's more than $60, just fork over the cash. If you do, there's a good chance she'll apologize or thank you for indulging her even if.... We all...

Best service = Verizon -- I commute an hour each way through mountains and the coverage kills everything else. (Consumer Reports rates them best in general also--in most/all major cities.) I have an EnV2 and like it lots. I text quite a bit. I do lust for an iPhone, but ultimately, I have it...

It came from Primavera SureTrak (a very simple version of Primavera Project Planner), however the concept can be used for any meeting minutes - just add a column. What was a nice feature is SureTrack had an automated dunning letter -- you clicked on the meeting minutes item and it would pop out...
