Default FE Exam.....

Anyone in here an engineer??

Lol, tomorrow morning at 7am I will be sitting in a hotel to take the Fundamentals of Engineering to hopefully get my EIT, I am saying this to prevent extra studying, lol and while on the subject of Engineering... Who else in here does that???

By the way Kyle responds to some posts he must have multiple degrees... lol

It isn't against the rules to PM people. It's not exactly like we have a FE exam section! LMAO!

I didn't get my PE (professional engineer) accreditation. I really don't have a need for it with what I do nor did I see a need for it with what I would ultimately like to do. So while everyone was studying for their FE exam (prequel to PE), I was out celebrating my pending graduation.

Some areas just aren't hiring right now. We had 3 product engineer positions open where I work and we only had 4 decent applicants.

The somewhat dismal job market when I graduated with my BS was what prompted me to go back and get my MS.

Mine? BS from Clarkson University. MS from Rochester Institute of Technology. I concentrated in fluids with quite a bit of CFD work while I was doing research at Clarkson after graduating with my BS, then I got married and transferred into RIT where I had to shift gears and concentrated in materials with heavy FEA as required per my research there.

Awesome, I love fluids and Idk why.... But with the possibility of a transportation project funding grad school, and currently in a transportation class, it is getting really interesting, and I am learning A LOT about the design of roadways and why stuff is used.....

I would love to do this kinda stuff all the time, learning this stuff is just amazing... and as far as fluids go.... the professor that teachers the course was the reason I chose Bradley..... Hopefully the Future reads William Lorton III BSCE/MSCE....
