the FE exam and i'm getting really drunk. That was excruciating.

as long as you can make educated guesses and know your math, you should be ok

4/25/2009 6:08:30 PM

^ that's what i did. and the "pass" letter is small

4/25/2009 6:09:10 PM

if you took until 6 PM you might want to worry a little.

4/25/2009 6:09:22 PM

haha. i was in there pretty late and i passed first try.

i think i had like 2 beers and went to sleep, i was so exhausted.

and as long as you know that reference manual front to back you're good. i finished the 60 question general PM session early, but didn't completely finish the AM session. I was in that gigantic room in McKimmon center.

wtf was with all the cement questions.

4/25/2009 6:11:09 PM

its technically not too hard

its just an assload of information you need to memorize and fucking draining

and god help you if you're not a civil/mechanical/aerospace engineer

4/25/2009 6:12:44 PM

my roommate who's a computer engineer was not pleased. although he already got a job at Cisco so he's just taking it for shits.

4/25/2009 6:14:33 PM

i'm an EE/CPE that took it

4/25/2009 6:16:46 PM

^passed the first time?

4/25/2009 6:20:34 PM

yeah

It's kinda slanted towards mechanical and civil folks I believe.

Enjoy your alcohol!

4/25/2009 6:30:27 PM

eh civil and mechanical are the only real engineering anyway.

AM General = easy (except for some chemistry/MSE & electrical shit)

PM Mechanical = WTF was up with it being 85% thermo/fluids/heat xfer? It wasn't fun.

That's what mechanical engineering is mostly about.

4/25/2009 6:47:35 PM

why i took the general instead. still a bunch of heat transfer, fluids, and thermo, but easier.

4/25/2009 7:03:15 PM

^^ i was just saying that there was barely any dynamics, vibrations, mech components, solids, etc... which is ALSO a big part of ME.

4/25/2009 7:04:10 PM

i did general/general since the EE specific part is power-heavy and i didn't take any power courses

4/25/2009 7:08:04 PM

I passed!!! Woooowhooooooooo!!!!

7/1/2009 4:01:57 PM

7/1/2009 7:02:12 PM

gg.


also question: where to put passing FE on the resume? I remember hearing people talking about putting EIT after your name on business cards but I have never seen where anyone puts it on resumes.

7/1/2009 7:08:34 PM

gg

^either, E.I. beside your name (I do believe it is now E.I. in NC, not E.I.T.) or in education, accomplishments, certifications...
