    Michigan PDH Audits

    I would imagine that the percentage varies per state but I wouldn’t think it’s a high percentage.  I know engineers who’ve never been audited and I know engineers who’ve been audited two consecutive years.  The biggest concern to me is that this person may not know the requirements of...

    # of Hours of study & prep

    9 years out, 300+, passed first time People who put in 50 hrs and pass are called smart people.  I’m not smart enough to pass with only a few hours, but I’m not dumb enough to take that test twice.  Regardless of what anyone tells you, there is no substitute for hard work and sacrifice.

    Career Path Dilemma

    In my opinion you should continue working where you are and persue your PE lisence. I don’t think grad school will help you much, especially if you have to take loans out to go.  Work hard and ask your company if they have any tuition reimbursement programs that can help you obtain your masters...

    It's now invaded my dreams....

    Two weeks and third attempt seems about right.  Looks like they want to take it a few more times.  Put in the hours and get it over with.

    Calling yourself an engineer without a PE

    Personally, I think boards should be able to protect the word “engineer”.  I think that putting something in place such as E.G. for engineering graduate. E.I. for engineering intern, and P.E. for professional engineer would be benificial.  That would limit the confusion and would help...

    need for advice about PE exam

    I would take the PE if I were you.  Based on your experience it looks like you can take either the PE-Environmental water resource,  PE-Transportation, or PE-Construction.  It really depends on which area of Civil most of your experience comes from.

    How did you study for the PE Exam?

    I worked hundreds of problems over 300 hrs with the FE review manual as my main reference.   Your time is best spent working problems and understanding how to efficiently manipulate the calculator,  not reading or watching videos.   Creating a game day scinerio may also be helpful. When...

    New to FE Civil, not sure to take it or not, need advice!

    I would agree that the FE/PE are not requirements to work as an engineer in the construction industry.  Typically if a company requires the FE/PE for a certain position they will say so on the job announcement or give you a timeline in which they expect you to obtain them.  Not having them could...

    One Month Out

    In my opinion there is no reason for you not to do this.  Give yourself the best shot at passing.

    One Month Out

    One month out....that means those who are going to pass have already logged 150 hrs and only have 150 hrs left to go.

    CET vs CE Degree?

    Prior to graduating in CE years ago, I worked for a private engineering firm for a few years to gain expierence in the field.  At the time there were both CE and CET people working for the company and it was generally accepted that the CET was the easier route/less respected.  That’s not to say...

    FE in Nevada State

    The difficulty of the FE exam won’t vary by state.  I do think choosing a good exam location may help though.  I would sit for the exam at the location that will cause the least amount of test day anxiety, such as a place you are familiar with.

    EIT License

    I would do things slowly and in order.  You may not need the EIT to sit for the PE, but you may need your EIT to apply for PE licensure i.e. they may ask you for your number.  I’d take all the necessary steps your board requires to obtain your EIT number.  Then I would take all necessary steps...
