    Casio FX-570ES in FE exam ? ( same as FX-115ES)

    When I took the exam, they provided a TI-30XS Multiview calculator emulator, so you could walk into the test center without anything and still pass.

    Maintaining Initial State License After Receiving Reciprocity to Home State

    PA has not decoupled, but you can use experience before becoming an EIT to sit for the PE exam. Experience no longer has to be after becoming an EIT. Also, instead of EIT it is now Engineering Intern.

    Casio FX-570ES in FE exam ? ( same as FX-115ES)

    No. Get the CASIO Fx-991ex Classwiz. Same thing as 570, but it has solar power incase your battery dies during the test. Unlike the 115, conversions and constants work without the cover, and can solve 4 equations with 4 unknowns.

    Experience before EIT now ok for PE in Pennsylvania

    Yes, you have to apply for an Engineering Intern certificate after meeting the education/testing or experience/testing and background check/ethics oath requirements. Back in the old days, you had to be an EIT for 4 years, subject to the same discipline as a PE. With this new law, you can be a PE...

    Experience before EIT now ok for PE in Pennsylvania

    No longer EIT, it's Engineering Intern. It involves getting an ABET/EAC (recommended) or ABET/ETAC (not recommended) accredited degree and taking the FE exam in either order, passing background check, no experience required. There is a way to do it with 8 years experience, but the education...

    How to read the diagnostic results? CBT PE WRE

    Here's how I would do it. Find out how many you got right in each area. To do this, multiply the number of items by the performance divided by 15, and add them together. 4+3+4*.69+6*.34+7*.51+7*.38+8*.51+4*.63+5*.58+6*.49+7*.47+9*.52=38.44 Add up the total number of items: 70 Now divide: 38.44 /...

    Passed the PE? How dd you do it?

    TI 36x Pro Used table function to approximate, used exponential regression, reviewed previous calcs for accuracy. Set up problems with fractions to see the inch-ft-yard conversions in-place. Solver works great. Don't handicap yourself with a cheap calc.

    New Member; Old Engineer

    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.

    How many times can you ask your employer to pay for your PE exam and study materials?

    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.

    New member EIT

    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...

    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...

    Questions on Requirements For PE and SE Exams

    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.
