    Conversion from KW to KWh

    I was wondering if anyone knew off the top of their heads the conversion from KW to KWh? I need to take it over a 24 hours period. I have done a little research online but really havn't come up with anything good so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    # of PE's in U.S.?

    Pardon my ignorance! Everyone is making some great points. I didn't realize what a big deal some of the issues that have been brought up are. So, maybe this is a dumb question, but if lawyers can dictate who becomes a lawyer, then why can't engineers do the same? I understand that it may be...

    # of PE's in U.S.?

    I was trying to find this statistic the other night with no luck. Does anyone know approximately how many PE's are in the U.S.? More specifically how many are in each discipline? I am trying to figure out how valuable I am to my company and I thought this would be a good starting point.

    Masters Electrician Exam

    Don't even worry about it. If you passed the PE this will be a cake walk. I took the Mater electrician exam in Colorado and it was pretty easy. I can only speak for the Colorado exam, but if you know your way around the code book then you shouldn't have any problems. The calculations are...

    Took Kaplan as a practice test-oh crap!

    Thanks for the tips. After calculating my score for the afternoon Kaplan I got a 17/40...yikes! I went back and reviewed the problems and some of them were stupid mistakes. I need to keep reminding myself to read each question carefully...multiple times if I have to before I start the...

    Took Kaplan as a practice test-oh crap!

    I took the Kaplan as a practice test this past weekend; general in the morning and power in the afternoon. I did not do very well at all. I am pretty stressed at this point. Anyone have any takes on this?

    Kaplan PE sample exam corrections

    I am going to take the Kaplan sample test in a couple of weeks (general morning and power afternoon). From what I understand there are many errors in the exam itself. Has anyone complied a list of these errors and the correct answers to the problems? If so could you possibly post the...

    transistors

    In the NCEES sample questions book all they show is BJT transistors in the morning exam. Do we need to also be prepared for FET's?

    Grounding

    alright thanks. When I took the exam in April there wasn't a grounding question on that...at least I can't remember.

    Grounding

    Does anyone have any really good materials on grounding and resistance grounding for the afternoon Power? The materials that I have are not very good on this topic.

    Electromagnetics

    I would just learn the basics. The question on the test is not very difficult. I think there is only one or two questions on the exam about it. But have a really good resource with you for the exam on the topic that you can refer to incase you need it.
