I couldn't help myself - I framed my NCEES pencils along with my cert (pic)

[sledgeconcrete]

I put my pencils and calculator in a Ziplock this weekend so that when I get my letter saying that I passed I will have them available for framing.

You wouldn't necessarily receive a different colored pencil for each exam within the same administration. But if you read my Post #1 and zoom in to the dates on the pencils, you'll see the pencils are from three different administrations.

Call me crazy but I just had to do it! Along with my cert are my three passing pencils (Survey Oct '10, 8-Hr Apr '11, Seismic Oct '11). Total cost in supplies = $28.XX after tax (thanks to a 40% off sale at Michael's) (not counting the $275 pencils of course). Time spent creatively figuring out how to fit 3D objects in a 2D frame = 4 hours. Gratification level = Significantly high.

Very nice Display!!! I might have to copy this, although my first and last pencils were my "passing" pencils.

Cool thread. I look forward to the day I can do something like this....

Congratulations, I will do the same!

Wouldn't it make more sense to write what your PM breadth section was instead of 8 hour, next to NCEES?

But yeah this is enginerdness to the max - AWESOME and congrats!

 

[bseepeguy]

Nice job! How did you mount the pencils?

 

[soniahuff]

Thats VERY cool! So can you share...how did you make it work? 3D pencils in 2D frame?

I also took the pencil with me after taking the Exam. I either have a very expensive mehcanical pencil now or I passed the exam. Seemed a win-win!

Here is what I did with one of mine! This way I think of NCEES and the PE every morning! :fart:

Fudgey 2.0?

How did you attach the pencils? Was it glue or tape? How has it held up. IF I get a certificate, I'm hoping to do something similar.

 

[woodslegend]

ptatohed, I assume that you placed pencils outside, but did you use super glue on the glass? I want to do something like that... it looks great!

Definitely planning to do this if/when I pass the SE. Frame PE and SE certs with their pencils

They collected the pencils in RI after the Oct. 2013 FE exam.
