Good luck. I'm glad to read that exam still happens. I remember taking one 30 years ago and how rigourous it was.

T, I suppose that I can still send best wishes that your analysis and calculations were on target. Now just imagine: those were only the fundamentals?

update. I passed the exam. I got my results a couple of months ago but forgot to mention that I passed... ( they don't give the score just a pass/fail) I know the suspense has been killing all of you, but you can now return to your normal sleep schedule

My father-in-law was the chief concrete engineer for some huge dams built in the 60s and 70s in Canada. He was a geotechnical engineer and a geologist. My brother-in-law is a civil engineer who worked as a geotechical consultant for years and is now a concrete quality engineer. I suggest you also try to take a basic course in project management to better prepare you for your career. It will be looked upon very favourably by your future employer.

I am currently working for the Corps of Engineer's in the Geotech and Dam Safety section. I would love to have worked back in the '40's when most of the Dams were being built around my area. Since no dams are currently being designed we focus mostly on safety, upkeep, repair, ect. of existing structures.
We are required to take a construction management class in our undergrad program, but graduate level versions are available.

Up until a few years ago, I would wake up in the morning very nervous because I believed that it was the day for the big electromagnetics exam. The feeling lasted for about 5 seconds and then I'd breathe a big sigh of relief as I realized I passed that exam 17 years earlier.

No. I got enough of them at work. It would have been great if during university you got exposed to EM testing in anechoic chambers. That's where you really start to get a sense of what's going on. I must admit that I never understood Maxwell until I happened upon "Fundamentals of Electric Waves" written by Skilling in 1948.

Sounds like something I should read. It was the damn EM stuff that knocked me out of Physics in college. That and the advanced mechanics. And sequences and series in multivariable calculus. Hmm... At least I understand relativity and quantum mechanics. Sigh.

My how time flies! It's been 4 years since I finished my undergrad. One must have 4 years of work experience after college and have successfully completed the FE exam before they can take the PE (professional engineering) exam. I'm about to submit my application (and $415 in testing fees) for the PE which I will take in April. So, wish me luck as I have a LOT of studying to do over the next 5 months.
Also, I have been working towards my masters in civil engineering (construction management) since 2007 and am finally finishing up. I turned in my final research paper and I have one more class meeting in my last college class ever. I decided to do the graduation ceremony since I didn't do it for my under grad and my parents were bummed. Ive got my cap and gown all ready to go and I've got a hotel booked in Stillwater OK. Going to hit the bars one last time as a college student (I couldn't resist)

Congratulations and good luck on your PE exam. I'm about to retire after 30+ years in construction management, and I can tell you things have changed a lot since I started. I used to spend most of my time actually involved in building things, but now it's all about the paperwork. That, and inept contractors!
My hard hat is off to you for completing your engineering education. It's probably the hardest thing you'll ever do. Enjoy the accomplishment!

Best of luck with those tests David.
$415 isn't that bad considering an auto mechanic has to spend about that to complete all of the ASE tests.

Studying is going well so far. Exam is on April 13th so I'm down to about 2 months. I've got a stack of papers about 9" high of all of the problems that I have worked so far, gathered TONS of references, tabbed the hell out of some of my books, etc. I've been working a lot of problems in both the morning breadth and afternoon geotech depth module that I will be taking.
I'm attending a PE training course in Dallas for 3 weekends spread across march. I'm really looking forward to getting some benefit from this class. I'll be making the 5 hour drive down on Wednesday night,coming back Sunday night (class is from 9-5 thur, fri, sat, and sunday- repeated 3 times).
My goal is to be so over prepared for this exam that I walk out mad at myself for wasting so much time studying.
So far I am on track but have a lot more to go.
I'm going to sit down this saturday and take an 8 hour mock exam. The organization that puts on the test sells a sample exam which I bought a month or two back but have yet to crack open as I've been waiting until I feel a little more prepared and can do an actual test run with it.

Congrats on your Masters and good luck on the exam. I passed the CA exam in April of 11' and its pretty damn satisfying. We have 3 exams to take, the general (I chose water resources as that is my area), seismic, and surveying. I went full bore on the seismic studying but was able to pass all 3 on the first try. All I could really recommend is dont spend too much time on one question. If you don't know how to do it right off the bat, I would say skip it, and make sure you get to the ones that you know immediately how to solve. Then go back to the ones you didnt and work on those. I know for sure of a bunch of questions I wasnt too confident in, and left those for last and was able to get in done. Good luck!!

6 days till the big test. I'm feeling pretty confident, I think I'm gonna crush this thing. I took the sample exam several weeks back put out by the organization that makes the test in a simulated test run and scored a 92%. I've since had an 80 hour training class (split over 3, 4 day weekends) and studied countless hours.
In any event, send positive thoughts my way on Friday April 13th.

Hi David, I also want to say good luck. And don't worry about all that Friday the 13th stuff. Just take a rabbit's foot with you,wear your lucky shirt, don't break any mirrors that day. Before leaving home throw a little salt over your right shoulder. Don't walk under any ladders when your outside looking for that four leaf clover. Lastly don't let a black cat cross it's path in front of you.
Do all this, and cram for the exam, you'll be fine. Again best of luck.
With out Jesus Christ there can be no Redemption or Salvation.

Since it takes 8 weeks for exam results I would say the scotch . I'd be surprised if I don't pass. The morning sessions was easy, I'm sure I aced it. The afternoon was pretty tough, but I think I did well. There were several obscure questions on topics that I was familiar with in general, but the specifics of the problem came from left field. Overall I think I did really well. I was excited waking up for the test, only nervous about 30 minutes before. I was nervous for about the fist 5 minutes of testing in the morning and the first 10 minutes in the afternoon. Otherwise, I was in a pretty good rhythm solving problems. I was looking forward to turning the page and seeing what they could throw at me next. I would say I was over prepared for the general morning session, and adequately prepared for the afternoon discipline specific questions. Who knows until I get my actual results though...

Thanks everyone. I'm sure many can relate to the feeling of completing a challenging goal that you had for several years. I'm glad to have it done! Unfortunately, I was only in Mexico for 8 days and have been back since the 21st . We had a blast though and met lots of nice people!

David, are you already in the "job," or are greener pastures coming next?

Same job I've had for about 5 years, no plans to change. However, opportunities for additional advancement will now be possible in the future!

Congratulations, David... Hopefully you only have one more standardized test to go... The one to get into grad school, Then done with standardized tests. Dakkon, I started grad school in 2007 and finally finished in 2011. I completed my masters with evening classes while working. The steps to get to engineering licensure are as follows: B.S. Engineering Degree> FE Exam> Four years engineering experience> PE Exam or M.S. Engineering Degree> FE Exam > 3 years engineering Experience> PE Exam. I can likely say I'm done with national standardized tests for good! Thanks everyone for the congrats!

Congrats from a fellow (retired) engineer. It's a hard path but makes for a very rewarding career.

Congratulations!!!! Hard work rewarded. Ditto. People who resent money never make it. People who resent success never achieve it. Celebrate the success of others.
