Thank you sir for the feedback, I am gonna take the ICC Welding exam and after I get more experience I most likely will take the CWI exam.

At my small firm, we bill out approximately 160-220 hours per month/engineer. We are a geotechnical/construction engineering firm and I wanted to get a feel for what was normal with other firms? I've only worked for one firm and would like to know what other firms are doing on an hourly/engineer...

That is how it is in my area in Tennessee, I am one of the few that have any of the ICC Certifications. I am going ahead and studying to do the ICC Welding since I just passed the Structural Bolting Exam. I thought my studying days were behind once I passed the PE, boy was I wrong lol

Special inspection as a whole has finally started to be a requirement in our area. I don't know if it deals with better educated building officials or what but anyhow I am looking at which certification I should look at getting? We do a great deal of inspection work for our quality control...

Those fields make sense to me, at my firm recently we hired someone with a Mechanical Engineering degree. He is related to the branch manager which is how he got the job but it still has me scratching my head how that will work out. We focus in civil/geotechnical work primarily

I wanted to hear other thoughts on it, would you or your firm hire someone who did graduate with an Engineering degree but in a different field from what you practice? Assume it's from an ABET accredited intitution and the individual has not taken the FE.

If you look back at previous pass rates for construction it always been the lowest or close to the lowest passing rate for civil. I don't think I have seen a pass rate above 60% for it.

I also say take the EET course. Email Amir Malek at [email protected], he will help you

They mean absolutely nothing but frequently are used to gauge how stressed someone is about the results. I think if you contact PPI about anything you get put in the spam mail system.

Mine didn't change after I donated Friday. This board definitely helped me keep my sanity.

I have to agree the wait was far worse than taking the exam

I definitely recommend EET. I remember at least two or three class sessions that I had where I had a "light bulb" moment and was like damn this class was worth the price. The depth notebook never left my desk during the exam

I second this I passed and had the same screens you were talking about

@matt267 PEno I took Construction it was my third run at it, hence I wanted to try a new approach and went with EET. They were great!

I passed as well after taking the classes offered by EET!

I failed twice before I passed and I will breakdown how I approached the exam each time (in summary) until I passed: First Run: I gathered way too many practice problems from the other focuses and none on my actual focus of construction. - I had the six minute solutions to each one except...

I just wanted to say I know it's tough seeing that red fail sign looking back at you. I took the civil construction exam three times before I passed and every time I saw that on my screen it crushed me. For a week or two I was mopy depressed mess then I shook off the dust and tried to figure out...

I got mine and after three tries I finally Passed Civil - Construction

Passed! - Civil Construction third time was the charm! in TN

Congrats!
