Not far off. Government jobs pay surprisingly well contrary to popular belief. Well in some cases as well.
know someone who graduated with a degree in aerospace engineering and dude is making 6 figs
working for the gov.
Congratulations homieCivil Engineer just passed the PE!!
To the P.E.s:
How does gaining licenses in different states work? I was under the impression you have to keep re-taking the exam, but some of my classmates have told me otherwise?
Basically that you just apply, after you pass your PE exam, depending on the state you passed it in and the state you wish to apply for?
I'm trying to get this paper, player. (by paper I mean, more licenses to hang up )
Just found out I passed my P.E. yesterday for Illinois. Now some more paperwork and fees for the license.
Any engineers already get their MBA? Care to share career path? Can't hear enough stories about engineers transition into the business world, but noticing more and more of firms are loving engineers these days, they're even recruiting directly out of engineering schools
In GMAT class now, taking weekly practice tests, and surprising my Quant is bringing down my score. Averaging Q47 and very consistent V42, with a score of 720 +/- 10. Still have 6 weeks of studying to go, shooting for 720-740 range on actual test
Passed the Civil FE . Time to get this EIT application filled out and start my 3 years to get my PE
congrats man. tips on how you prepared?
I took a prep class while I was in school so I still had all my material from there. I also got the civil discipline FE study book and I set aside a few hours everyday after work to study. I've been out of school since may so I started about a month ago to refresh my memory the first week or so. Then I would take practice tests kind of like a test environment and use only the manual as a reference. And of course it's good to take a day off every now and then so you don't drain yourself. I saw you said you were looking for motivation to take it and I was in the same boat. You should just schedule a date to take it to give yourself a deadline and think the longer you wait, the longer it will be before you can get your PE and get to the big $$$. If you have any more questions let me know or feel free to PM me bro.
Physics and Calc is like the foundation of everything engineering. Grasp those subjects and you'll have a much better understanding of your subjects that will follow.
Just got the news. I'm already 9 cedits in, to my MS, though. I'm also taking 6 more grad credits this semester that I'm graduating, so I'll be 15 credits in before I start.
I still wasn't technically in grad school though
I actually won first place in an engineering competition in my school for engineering a fully-functional, small-scale storm sewer drainage system.
I posted it in another engineering thread around here.
Took me over 40 hours to complete though.:x
Thanks, crazy thing is, my professor writes his own book, in which he gives out pages at a time. He also allows us to use our notes during the test. You would think this would make it a walk in the park, but it's really not. We had an "impromptu" quiz Thursday, which everybody knew was about to happen. I'm confident I got a passing grade on it, but I want more than a passing grade.Try to make friends, and study in a group. You can learn from each other. Some people will have different methods on solving each problem, which may give you some insight on the parts you are struggling with.
My statics prof. was really cool and always enjoyed further explaining the topics during his office hours. Approach the professor and watch youtube videos. I took statics nearly 3 years ago. Strength of materials as well.
It also helps to have the solutions manual to the book, if you use it the right way. Try it on your own and then check the solution to see where you went wrong. The only way to master the course is by doing problem after problem after problem, until you fully grasp it. The upside to all of that you're studying for your exams in the same process.
I always told people my engineering classes were easier than my humanities, because once I grasped the topic, I could basically solve any variation of the same problem.
