October 2019 Post Exam Wait Period - Welcome to the Suck

[Frozen Electrons]

There are plenty of partially operational bridges; see: Pennsylvania, PENNDOT

On the other hand...remember Florida International University bridge...

Florida

Didn't pass

This was my second try. I'm done taking it. Congrats to all that passed.

Minnesota Results are up! Passed!

[Frozen Electrons]

Can confirm...MN results are out. I failed the Power exam. Sort of expected as I didn't study much at all. Plan on retaking in the Spring.

You'll knock it out of the park in the spring!

Engineers don't get partial credit. Bridges aren't partially operational.

I was about to say the same thing (well similar).

With the start of infrastructure thorough the US. There are plenty of partially operation bridges.

Counter argument from Akin's Laws of Spacecraft Design:
Space is a completely unforgiving environment. If you screw up the engineering, somebody dies (and there's no partial credit because most of the analysis was right...)

My thought it, either a bridge works or it doesn't. So if it works, its operational, if it doesn't work, it's not operational.

If load and be transferred across, it's operational, if load cannot be transferred across, he broke.

 

[Orchid PE]

No partial credit.

Define "works." For pedestrians? For 2-ton trucks?

See above.

See above.

I'm just trolling. I do get what you're saying about the no partial credit thing though. Engineers can't skimp.

 

[Orchid PE]

@RBHeadge PE Heck, even you made a post somewhere about either the bridge stays up, or it doesn't.

This is my school of thought.
