    Cable / Direct TV

    You have to pay for each box/tv with dish tv and directv. I think the charge is 3.99 per tv or something like that. I pay about $75 per month for 3 tvs with the basic directv package and one tv having Tivo. The signal issue has improved and I very rarely if ever lose my signal anymore. I...

    PPI Passing Zone---Mechanical

    When I took the PE about one year ago and took the PPI passing zone - I thought it was a waste of money. I personally didn't get much out of the program. It was set up as more of a schedule that you should stick by then anything else.

    round off values in PE exam

    In the Mechanical test some answers had units and other questions had the units listed in the question (i.e. what is the flow in gpm?) and then the answers were only numbers. I guess this would be to make sure that all your conversions are correct. I think units are still important but maybe...

    FL Licensure

    That is correct. Once you have your PE number then you can sign up for the course and take it right then. You will get your certificate once you complete the course and thne you forward the certificate to the engineering board so that it can be added to your record.

    FL Licensure

    http://www.floridabuilding.org/BCISOld/tr/tr_trai_regi.asp There is the webiste for the core course. It really isnt that big of a deal though. You can finisht he course in about 30 minutes or so and there really is no way for you to "fail" the course. Its more or less another way for them to...

    PE Review Classes from PPI

    I didn't take the ful review class from PPI. I took the one online review class from PPI for the ME exam and I didn't find it to be all that helpful. The only good thing I got out of it was a structured schedule. Other than that I found it be a little uninformative and more or less you...

    PENNSYLVANIA - RESULTS

    You will receive your letters between christmas and new years. probably closer to the dec 30 date or so. This has been status quo for PA results for the past three years. The lady was just giving you the standard line because they get plenty of questions regarding when the letter will come...

    waiting in PA

    Good Luck in your wait. I passed the Oct 2007 test in PA and the results came between Christmas and New Years. So you still have about a week or so to wait. Once you get the results the licenses will be issued somewhere in the beginning of Feb. So a little more waiting after the passed letter.

    Shigley vs Norton?

    I used Norton in college and shigley for the PE test. I would say that they are both very good but I would prefer Shigley. It just seems that Shigley is a bit easier to follow at times then Norton. Again this is just my two cents and coudl also be affected by the experience that I gained...

    Torn between Thermo/Fluids and Machine Design Depth, this late in the game!

    First, you have to try to stay as calm as possible because you still have 30 days to go and it gets worse as the day gets closer. The calmer you are now the easier it will be for you to stay calm on test day. I truthfully think that being calm will help you out because you will be able to...

    PE Proctor deadline

    There is also different requirements per state. I know in Pennsylvania you have to pass you EIT and then 4 years of experience in order to sit for the PE but in Maryland you just have to have 4 years experience and the EIT passed with no specific order.

    Which calculator?

    I was an HP guy growing up and still use the HP TI-84 at work. I picked up an HP and tried to use it but it felt to me that everything was backwards on the HP. I found that the TI was easier to use because I was used to it and when I was studying the last thing on my mind was trying to figure...
