Congrats to those of you who passed! Out of curiosity, what was your motivation for becoming an IE P.E.?  What do you plan on doing with it? It was more of a personal goal for me.

Hello EB - I've posted a few times, but want to introduce myself and say thanks for this great resource. I am an industrial engineer in Michigan, with my BS and MS from Kettering University.  I've spent most of my career as a Management Consultant, but recently joined the health-care industry. ...

FYI to all of you who passed, LARA has started issuing license #'s.  They told me via email that they would issue them in alphabetical order.  I just saw this morning that mine shows up in the license search.  For what it's worth, my name starts with a B...

Thanks for the advice Clemson and TWJ... saved. Just to correct myself (for what it's worth), that latter email came from BPL, not LARA... Congrats, fellow PEs-to-be!

So confusingly, I got the following 2 emails: 3:44(EST) - From NCEES saying that my results were available (Passed Industrial!!) 3:47(EST) - From LARA (in response to my inquiry email this morning) saying that they have not received results from NCEES and to keep waiting. So I have no idea...

Yes, definitely frustrating.  The last call I had to LARA was back in January and the woman who answered was very helpful and seemed to know the process very well - though I did get the impression that their staff was pretty limited.  Hopefully there hasn't been some critical turnover since then...

That's odd.  I had to call LARA a couple times in the past and other than having to wait 30-45 minutes on hold every time, the people I eventually got through to seemed pretty knowledgeable with regards to the PE.  Seems like they are pretty short-staffed, perhaps they had a part-time resource...

Hi Will - hope your exam went well.  I didn't really get a chance to chat with anyone before/after my exam, but I suspect I was the only one.  There were 113 examinees in my session and everyone else had a significant volume of references with them.  So if anyone else WAS taking the IE exam...

Thanks icclouseau - same to you!  The exam was a bit easier than I expected, but I still did feel underprepared.  Felt like I brought the appropriate reference material with me - any other references that would have helped me would have been absolute shots in the dark. 

Yeah... that study guide would have definitely benefited from some peer review before publication.  Seems almost like the author went back through and updated the content based on changes to the PE exam, but didn't take the time to make sure the references still held up.  Which is unfortunate...

Hi Susan & icclouseau - I'm also taking the Industrial exam on Friday.  To be honest my expectations are low as I registered late and haven't studied much, but plan to give it another go next year (with better preparation) should I fail this time around. That said - I'm working with...
