Have a review question that states that when performing a topographic survey on a 1/2 acre rectangular piece of land that a radial-total station survey would be more appropriate than a Grid survey or photogrammetry. Does anyone know why? And also, any reference that indicates under which...

Here is the problem: Two brass monuments set on a shady sidewalk have a known, verified horizontal separation of 99.96 ft. A surveyor measures between the monuments with a tape and reads 99.99 ft at a temperature of 83 degrees Fahrenheit, holding a tension of 15 lb while the tape is fully...

When using NCEES record to apply for additional licenses, do they forward your PE References also? I know Nevada won't accept PE references from NCEES. They require that the references come straight from the PE's recommending you. I don't know if this is the norm or the exception. For those of...

Apparently the board (California) has started releasing the actual PLS exams. You can actually print them out. See the link below. This is to aid in preparation for the PLS exam. Interesting. What happened to all that exam subversion stuff? I wonder if they will start doing this with the PE...

I just finished looking at the California board of engineer's website. The board has a meeting scheduled to determine the cut scores for the October 2006 exam ( this past exam) on January 29, 2006. They mail the results out 10 working days later. Examinees can expect to start receiving their...

Did anyone else out there take the California Special Civil Engineering Surveying Exam? I found it unusally difficult. Mostly because of time constraints. The weird thing is that of the three exams (8 hour Civil, Seismic, Surveying), I thought this one would be the easiest. Maybe it normally is...
