BIO Glad you found this site! I know this thread is old, but I only saw it today. DSIRE has links to both federal and state agencies that let the small fry know if net metering is possible in their location. I have been looking into this issue lately because I have been thinking about...

So that's approximately 3 miles/$ - I know you like cars with V8s :thumbs: , but maybe a little commuter or a motorcycle that gets more than 10 mile/gal is an option :2cents:

Congrats!! :appl:

I registered on Jan 2 of this year for a MTB race on Nov 10 - that has really kept me at the training regimen. I'm not saying I'm always motivated, but it does keep me out there on the bike... well, most of the time. Who the hell can be motivated to ride for 2 hours in the rain, through the...

I felt that the Camara sample exams were far easier than the NCEES sample exam which was about on par with the actual PE exam. For example, I would get 80 - 90% on the Camara sample exams and about 70 - 80% on the NCEES sample exams. I don't know what I got on the actual PE exam, only that I...

You might be able to do a 2 x 2 with complex numbers in 6 minutes without a calculator that handles it. The 115ms does not handle complex numbers when in simultaneous equation mode.

There is a thread somewhere about this. If you're over 40, use a slide rule :old-025: Otherwise, you may find it helpful to use a calculator that handles complex numbers (particularly for PM Power). Some folks may disagree, but I found that it saves significant time. That's my 1.414 + j1.414...

Some hiring managers put a lot of stock in letters after your name, some don't. I can't comment specifically on your area in terms of whether MS or PE is better. However, folks don't normally use "yourname MS" on their business card, while "yourname PE" is common.

When you see the load ratings, be sure to note what assumptions were made - some tables that I have seen state eccentricity of load, yield strength of steel, and compressive strength of concrete used to fill the steel post.

I like the way you think :plusone: Frazil Sounds like you're in a tough spot - hope it all works out for you. And if you do take RG's advice, let me know how that turns out! :D

Congrats JD - you got that monkey off your back. How does it feel to be a PE? :plusone:

Let me throw out another perspective - I know you're a gun fan - do you have any "older" pieces that you're especially fond of in your collection? Slide rules are like that to us older folk. The simple elegance of the technology that comprises the slide rule is appealing to me. :old-025:

Pedro, You'll never know what the emphasis will be in the PM, but the test I took had a lot of electrical machinery of types not covered in the EERM. Conversely, no illumination problems. Otherwise, the NCEES Problems and Solutions was fairly representative. Lots of good advice above, and it...

This is exactly the kind of attitude that makes this board the best of the rest. Congratulations to you both!

Yes, I have the form somewhere, but I found the attached files on the MI site yesterday - you can see that the same link got me two different files (with the same filename!) - so sometimes the site is messed up. A useful contact: "Michael Pillow" <[email protected]> This is the guy...

I've put the MI application in the "Michigan Results" thread (it's the larger of the two files with the same filename listed there - yes MI has problems with their website). Not all 5 references need to be PEs - only 3. Sorry, I don't know how to provide a link to the "Michigan Results" thread.

Sorry for the confusion - the MI website coupled with my ignorance of message board skills has probably led you to wonder how the hell I passed that exam :) Anyway...the second file (the larger one) is the application in my modified post above

The best thankyou I could get is - stick around and pay it forward to the next group of examinees. :) Congrats!

Here's the Link Or you can try the very convoluted way to get there www.michigan.gov Business & Economic Growth Licensing & Permits Department of Labor & Economic Growth Forms & Publications Commercial Services - Forms Licensing Forms - PE Forms Application (PE).pdf or...

DVINNY - Way to go! and Congrats all - it's an accomplishment that you'll remember and be proud of for quite some time :brickwall:
