[afewgood]

born in 66. graduated from top 3 engineering graduate school and had no need for PE. but those people graduated from inferior colleges (like not even top 100 down the map) witih PE had been sarcastic and saying they are real engineers (apparently they think PE makes them real enginners.)

Just had to bite the bullets to pass the PE to shut their mouth.

PE - April 2010 (fail)

PE - April 2011 (fail)

PE - October 2011 (fail)

PE - April 2012 (finally pass!)

I graduated with a BSEE with a computer concentration, but my career is power-based, so I had a REALLY hard time since I hadn't even dealt with three phase power or transformers since my sophomore year of college, let alone the rest of it. But it's finally over!
