who has taken the FE?

[JohnCU]

did you study? we got packets of notes for $60 from the engineering department but i've never studied dynamic fluid flow in my life nor have i studied dynamics or materials of strengths and they want me to learn all this in a matter of a couple of weeks?

someone said not to study. i'm not worried about the afternoon session just the morning session.

my friend is taking the PE exam next week

Yep, EEs get shafted on the FE because they don't learn a well-rounded engineering base.

I took this back in '96. It's difficult, but if you're currently studying the material it isn't too bad. (At least from a Chem. Eng. perspective.)

Why would an EE even need to take the test? I thought the only ones who really had to get it were civils.

You need to take it if you want to become a PE.

Right, but I thought the only types of engineers who become PE's are ones who have to sign off public designs like buildings and bridges, which would imply civil engineers.

Mechanical and electrical engineers account for a large amount of PEs, though civil is the majority.

So what type of electrical designs would require an EE to have a PE?

I've passed the FE, PE, and FLS, although I took the FE in 2000.

Any kind of electric designs on either public or private developments would likely require a PE stamp.
