    Engineering Ethics - Did I overreact? underreact?

    If you're in doubt whether you made the right decision go take a look at the latest disciplinary action your state board has taken in the past quarter. I get an email update from my board and I take a look at some of the disciplinary actions taken. They are strict and can be harsh. You did...

    Minor Loss Coefficient, K

    I'm working on designing a new pump station and in my analysis I ran across a burning question. In textbooks, pipe, and pump manufacturers literature they provide minor loss coefficients, K, for common fittings. Where do the K numbers come from in the tables? I ask because I want to know what...

They also have requested the addition of fluoride.Are there any good reference materials or books that could help walk me...

    Pump head question

    Another way you might see something like this is K factors. They're used to calculate frictional headloss with fittings. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Career Path

    I went down a similar path as well. In the organization I work for you can have a Ph.D in every discipline in engineering and still be a project engineer. The only two ways to advance is get your PE license and start applying for those PM jobs (higher paid position) or get your MBA and go to...

    Failed Scores

    Does the SofPE still offer the free repeat? Honestly if you have taken their class, failed the exam, and eligible for free repeat jump on that opportunity. Take the summer off and spend time with your family and hit the books again late August. Be sure to take breaks when you're tired and don't...

    Which civil pe exam to take

    I'm gonna have to agree with smahurin. It doesn't matter but stick to your strengths. I chose construction because that's the field I work in. I will say this. No matter what you choose, stick too it and study 300 plus hours. I would also recommend EET course. They are the best, by far. Sent...

    what is the career for a female PE

    Same here.  I love my weekends, holidays, and nights at home.  I got lucky and got a big raise when I came to the public sector so thankfully I didn't lose any money.  Now days the pay in the public sector vs the private is about the same (where I'm located).  A few of my friends in the private...

    what is the career for a female PE

    You're most welcome.  One thing I meant to mention is when you apply for promotions and you don't get them keep your chin up, keep an optimistic outlook, and be cordial with the people you interviewed with.  I've seen too many good engineers get fed up with this and let it ruin them.  It's hard...

    what is the career for a female PE

    This is good to know that such a thing exists.  One of classmates works in the same type of firm/situation and their firm had 500 employees here at the local office until the recession.  When the recession hit they downsized to 30 employees and he was one of only a handful left.  Like you, his...
