    What grade do you give the Engineering Community for Diversity?

    All I want is professionalism, with respect for my qualifications, training, and experience. As I joke with my friends who get frustrated with a racist, sexist society and who may or may not even send in their applications to jobs, because they lack the self-confidence and wonder if they're...

    What grade do you give the Engineering Community for Diversity?

    As a female engineer (still white) .... I can say that I was lucky not to be harassed more, probably in no small part to meeting crews as part of a group rather than arriving alone to a site. I have been hit on and harassed multiple times to the point where it is something I can expect and shrug...

    EET Course Discussion

    I did the same as the above poster - left the original binder untouched (beyond replacing a few sheets as directed by the course instructors) and placed any ‘additional’ practice material in a separate binder. For example, any fully solved practice problems were in pen in a separate smaller...

    Civil Construction PE Prep - Second Attempt

    If you have time and feel so inclined, you might also try “Learning How to Learn” on Coursera - taught by Dr. Barbara Oakley and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski. I used the course as meta-studying for the PE, because part of the class focuses on how to perform in high-pressure situations and how to get...

    Received my References!

    The EET reference binders have suggested 'significant chapters' and 'significant tables' for each of the references. I tabbed the chapter headings and the index for each reference. If you're good with an index, the chapter divisions and a few tables is probably the most you should tab. For...

    One Week Out!!!

    Good luck to everyone taking the PE on Friday! I actually booked a hotel room next to my test site to avoid the 1.5+ hour commute from my home. Money well spent, since it significantly reduced the stress of test day.

    SOPE vs EET April 2020

    The EET course covers some of the tables in the major codes. However, there's not time to cover all of the potential tables you might be asked to use. My background in research helped me when it came to obscure code trivia. I narrowed down what I thought the topic of the question was, then used...

    SOPE vs EET April 2020

    Seconding the vote for EET. I actually found the recommendation for them on these boards, myself, and passed April 2019 Transportation. If you have a question about whether or not you can access the on-demand sections early for the next exam (i.e., you want to take the April exam), you can...

    Highly Recommend EET Classes for Breadth and Depth

    I agree with the above. EET started out with easier concepts in general and saves the depth section preparation for a bit later, after you've warmed up. I found this enormously helpful, since it went through material I had not covered as part of my classes but was still on the exam (project...

    April 2019 Civil - WRE Results

    @civilMC I’m thinking you may need a revised approach to testing. The problem with tabbing similar problems is that it’s easy to spend too much time trying to match problem types for hints on how to solve the specific thing on your desk. I’ve used that strategy myself, and it’s really only...

    EET Advice

    @Sully287 I only had trouble when using the AdobeConnect app or trying to use mobile devices. Any time I was on a desktop or laptop, it was fine. Make sure you have the latest version of your browser of choice (Chrome, for me). Get in touch with EET if you continue to have problems accessing...

    Need help reviewing my diagnostic!

    @PEstruc I highly recommend EET breadth / depth, as another poster recommended. I was blessed to have an excellent materials background, so while all the EET material was review to me, it was good quality review. Samir also does an excellent job with means and methods in the AM. I had no...

    Recommend EET PE Review Class

    @zsultana That link is correct. I took both AM (Breadth) and PM (Depth) Transportation with EET.  I found the resource binders invaluable and just the right amount of information.

    EET Course for Tranportaion

    Another vote for EET and Samir in Transportation. EET’s course and materials were very helpful for me. All the instructors were excellent.

    Recommend EET PE Review Class

    @confusedpanda10 I also took the On-Demand AM and PM classes from EET, passed the Transportation exam on my first try, and would further highly recommend them as a review provider. I started studying in late December for the April 2019 PE (so about three-four months). The class is structured...

    # of Hours of study & prep

    200-ish hours? Took and passed Civil PE Transportation on the first try. I started studying in late December in order to spread out the overall burden, since I already knew there were several weeks when I wouldn't be able to study at all. I wanted to put everything I had into passing, so I went...
