Question 1: NCEES released the results, that means the tests are graded, right? What exactly are we waiting for the state board to do? Question 2: Since the tests are graded, that means the results should come soon, right? This talk of "wait until mid-June" does not apply this year, right...

I took the exam in April, and I heard that the results are normally posted sometime in June. Will I get it in the mail? Email? Is it reported online somewhere first? NCEES or the state board's website?

Say two professional gamblers were to approach you today. One is willing to wager that you failed the PE exam, and the other is willing to wager that you passed. Which offer would you take, and how much money would you bet? Of course this has as much to do with your appetite for risk as it does...

COP = Coefficient of Performance ref = for a refrigeration cycle hp = for a heat pump cycle Qi = Heat flux in Qo = Heat flux out Wi = Work in 33.1 COP(ref) = Qi/(Wi) 33.2 COP(hp) = (Qi+Wi)/Wi therefore COP(ref) = COP(hp)-1 and COP(hp) = COP(ref)+1 That makes sense: COP(hp) =...

I know they have crazy rules about not bringing lose paper and having everything sealed. I'm not planning on bringing a binder, but if I wanted to just tape a few pages of notes inside of a book would that still count as "bound"?

I've got 8 weeks to study for the mechanical (HVAC) PE exam. I'm taking a few days off work next week to make substantial progress, and plan on taking the entire week of the exam off work. The MERM recommends 300 hours of preparation time, but I don't have that. I have to work this into my...

I've been accepted to take the test in April and I'm not sure what test to take. I didn't realize there were different depth sections for HVAC and thermo-fluid. I always thought of HVAC as an application of thermo-fluid. I work in HVAC as a consulting engineer. I've been working in this...

I am applying to take the PE in Virginia. I have my BS degree in Math, which is a related science and therefore requires 6 years of "qualifying experience" for licensure in Virginia. I spent 1.5 years working as a CAD designer at one firm, where I was given responsibilities similar to other...

From the Connecticut state law "Professional engineer: Graduation from an approved course in engineering in a school or college approved by the board as of satisfactory standing, a specific record of an additional four years of active practice in engineering work, which shall be of a character...

If I get my P.E. in a state where it is possible to do so based on experience alone (I have a degree in a science related to engineering but the same question could apply to someone without a degree), then later try to register in a state where an ABET accredited degree is always required, are...

I'm looking for some career advice here. I've been in the MEP Engineering field for 5 years, since graduating college with a degree in Math. My official title is "Mechanical Designer" but what that basically means is "CAD guy". I also do load calcs, static pressure calcs, survey work, and...
