    ENGINEERING PROFESSION WAY DIFFERENT FROM MEDICAL PROFESSION

    I am licensed Engineer with a MS degree and was asked by my previous employer to report to a guy who is an Engineering technology major. I refused, changed my job with a title as Team lead in a F-100 company. Hey by the way got 10% pay raise with job change, new office and excellent benefits.

    why a ball valve has less resistance than gate valve when wide open?

    I am a licensed engineer and worked on valves all my life. As per my knowledge, when gate valve opens or closes under fluid pressure more resistance is offered by valve disc. Compared to ball which is already inline with fluid flow. A butterfly valve has even less fluid resistance. I bet it is...

    How did you guys make out?

    Outlaw, I agree that many disciplines like Civil have a very high cut scores like 55-56/80 question correct = 70%. But you cannot base your assumptions on other branches of engineering. For Mechanical TF/MD/HVAC cut-scores are very low, my buddy who scored 56/80 was on 82% for MD. Also unlike...

    How did you guys make out?

    MizzouMatt, Nope 46/80 was passing score for MD last time around. 44/80 was 68% and 45/80 was 69%. PE exams are graded on a curve and not on number of correct answers. If it was graded on number of correct answers like getting 56/80 correct = 70% I would have never made it through :) ...

    How did you guys make out?

    Krakosy, I scored 44/80 last time and 46/80 was the passing score. I remember one of the guy in this forum scored 69% with 45/80 correct (MD-Depth). Looking at Apr -12 exam I feel that again 45-46/80 will be the passing score because it was of same/more difficult than Oct -11 exam. If I dont...

    So how do you feel?

    I read a lot but feel that practice was not adequate. I will suggest practise from lindeburgs sample problems, though complex they give great understanding. Do not discount HVAC to my dismay they asked them a lot.
