Congratulations on getting your RE (Retired Engineer) license. Not sure if I'll ever get that one. Hope you can avoid the DE (Deceased Engineer) license for a while.

Usually once, if you're lucky it's pass or fail; if not lucky it's only if you pass. If it's pass or fail, and you fail, and get another job, then the next employer may pay for another attempt. In any case, I don't know of any employer who will pay for you to take the same exam more than once.

bramsey, it's called decoupling. About half of the states decoupled the exam from experience. I highly recommend Maine. No board approval, and you can take the PE exam in any state. You need to have an NCEES Record with college transcripts showing you graduated, and an EIT certificate. After...

Maybe taking the FE exam will help you decide.

When you meet Mass. experience requirements, you should be able to apply to take the PE exam. Once approved, send them your Maine test result. That's how it works in Pennsylvania, it should be the same everywhere since the test is the same everywhere. It could save you continuing education and...

No experience required to take the FE. PE experience depends on the state. I'm not in a state that has SE, but I imagine PE would be required. Look into Maine for the FE. No board approval required, and you can take the test remotely in any state.

Great video. I just hope they figured it out sooner than 17 years.

From the statute, "The seal shall be of a design similar to those shown below and shall bear at minimum those elements specified above." Taken literally, this means it shall have a bear. A bare stamp is just not good enough. PE Stamps sells the bear. California Professional Engineer Stamp | PE...

PA is the same. Use the NCEES to track CPC CPC Tracking | NCEES Very handy for tracking multiple states with different requirements and expiration dates. You upload certificates and NCEES sends them to the boards for free if necessary.

Not sure what state he is from, but Pennsylvania requires an undergraduate engineering curriculum at a college or university in the United States that was substantially equivalent to an ABET-accredited curriculum. Not sure if a computer science? major is substantially equivalent. The original...

All of the horror stories you heard are true.

You need the ABET/EAC accredited BSEE degree.

For 1, Yes in most cases. Some states have a residency requirement, so obviously it won't work in that case. Definitely check with the state board. For 2, Texas requires a Texas EIT certificate. Use the NCEES record. Send SC results to NCEES, then from there send it to Texas.

If the concept of going back full/part-time for a qualifying degree is daunting, a PE license does not appear to be in the cards. One reason for PE licensing is to show employers the applicant actually attended a university, because many people lie about it on their resumé. I'm thankful there is...

New Jersey doesn't require board approval for the PE exam, but you sure do need board approval for initial licensure. Here is the online application: https://newjersey.mylicense.com/eGov/Login.aspx Here are some helpful tips...

This quadratic equation program will come in very handy: Notice it is labeled Q for Quadratic Get into programming mode by pressing blue, R/S Line Instruction ------+------------- Q001 LBL Q ; blue XEQ Q002 CF 10 ; orange up arrow, 2, then decimal, zero Q003 INPUT A ; orange x<>y, then A Q004...

Typically the EIT is awarded after graduating from an ABET/EAC program and a passing score on the FE exam. Michigan does not allow those with and ABET/ETAC to be licensed. Engineering Technology degrees are ABET/ETAC accredited. There can be a background check, fingerprinting, ethics exam and/or...

The vertical curve program is awesome. It steps you through the elevations for each station of the curve. The area by coordinates is great. Type in the coordinates, it tells you the area in square feet, acres, and the perimeter.

If it's just surveying, you can get an HP-35s and program it with this: https://www.dot.state.mn.us/surveying/software/hp35s-programs.pdf It's menu-driven, and allows you to plug and play most all surveying problems. You won't have any memory left over for other engineering formulas though. You...
